[FIXED] Unable to create a C# plugin

CansecoDev · 2019-03-22T05:26:44.917Z

Hello, I’ve been trying to make a simple hello world plugin, so I can start developing with C#, but I’m unable to make it work, so I decided to document exactly what I did by following the indications from this two guides (and some own techniques):

docs.fivem.net

Scripting in C#

This page is still a work in progress so this guide is not completed yet! Setting up our environment Before you can create your first C# resource, you'll need to install Visual Studio 2017 (the community/free version will work just fine). Creating...

docs.fivem.net

Creating your first script in C#

Getting started with scripting for FiveM might be a tad overwhelming, given the wide range of possibilities and the sparsely spread documentation. In this quick and simple guide, we'll try to show you how to get started with a quick resource in C#....

I’m quite sad, because object oriented programming its my thing and I really want to start doing things here, it really motivates me but all this effort without success and the lack of experience on how FiveM works… I need help please, I absolutelly don’t know what I’m doing wrong at this point.

Some requested information

Complete procedure, step by step

Run FiveM client to check for updates and close it
Start Visual Studio 2017 (version 15.9.9 community)
[ctrl-shift-n] To start a new project
Fill ‘New Project’ view: https://i.imgur.com/JdxQWmf.png
Minimize VS for now
Download the latest server [2019-Mar-21 14:16] from: https://runtime.fivem.net/artifacts/fivem/build_server_windows/master/1149-33e707438b0196016ed8c6d83374a3b5e1f12a90/server.zip
Extract its content to: C:\Users\C\Documents\Projects\2019-03-22 FiveM HelloWorld\server
Open a git console at: C:\Users\C\Documents\Projects\2019-03-22 FiveM HelloWorld\server

git clone https://github.com/citizenfx/cfx-server-data.git
cp -a cfx-server-data server-data
rm -rf server-data/.git*
curl https://pastebin.com/raw/v88bEnCM -o server-data/server.cfg
sed -i -e 's/sv_licenseKey changeme/sv_licenseKey AAAAAAAAAAAAREDACTEDAAAAAAAAAAAA/g' server-data/server.cfg
mkdir ../sources/HelloWorld/Libs
cp -a "C:\Users\C\Documents\PortableSoftware\FiveM\FiveM.app\citizen\clr2\lib\mono\4.5\CitizenFX.Core.dll" ../sources/HelloWorld/Libs/CitizenFX.Core-client.dll

Minimize this console to use it later
Come back to VS
Right click on References > Add Reference…
Add CitizenFX.Core-client.dll: https://i.imgur.com/Sn1lCPf.png
Copy the code from: https://docs.fivem.net/scripting-manual/introduction/creating-your-first-script-csharp/
Rename the namespace to HelloWorld
Fix a typo at line Class1.cs::12

EventHandlers["onClientResourceStart"] += new Action<string>(OnClientResourceStart));

to

EventHandlers["onClientResourceStart"] += new Action<string>(OnClientResourceStart);

Add this below line Class1.cs::21 (I just want to see it on the game console):

Debug.WriteLine("Hello World!");

This should serve as a simple Hello world ‘car’ command: https://i.imgur.com/nnDAWPD.png
Select the project, [alt-enter] and change the name to HelloWorld.net: https://i.imgur.com/UCtfQTl.png
[ctrl-shift-s] To save everything.
Select release and [ctrl-shiht-b] to compile
Close VS
Come back to the git console:

mkdir server-data/resources/helloworld
echo client_script \'HelloWorld.net.dll\' > server-data/resources/helloworld/__resource.lua
cp -a ../sources/HelloWorld/HelloWorld/bin/Release/CitizenFX.Core-client.dll server-data/resources/helloworld/HelloWorld.net.dll
sed -i -e 's/start playernames/start playernames\nstart helloworld/g' server-data/server.cfg
exit

Create a simple script to launch the server, something like this:

@echo off
title TESTING
cd /d server\server-data
cls
..\FXServer.exe +set citizen_dir ..\citizen\ %* +exec server.cfg
pause
start ..\..\start
exit

Run it and check that helloworld loads: https://i.imgur.com/FXDAgP8.png
Open FiveM and join
Typing ‘car’ at the console does nothing: https://i.imgur.com/0to8oRh.jpg
Neither doing it at the chat: https://i.imgur.com/bvk4LiX.jpg

OH MY GOD, see, this is what happens when you do stuff at 3AM

cp -a ../sources/HelloWorld/HelloWorld/bin/Release/HelloWorld.net.dll server-data/resources/helloworld/HelloWorld.net.dll

cp -a ../sources/HelloWorld/HelloWorld/bin/Release/CitizenFX.Core-client.dll server-data/resources/helloworld/HelloWorld.net.dll

I’m sorry, I just were copying the wrong library…
