Delivered as promised, free Vehicle lockpicking script with some animations and other additions.
Yet again, I did my best to replicate somewhat simple script that someone’s using as a moneygrab.
This does not provide a vehicle locksystem, this is merely a “minigame” which can be used in order to unlock locked vehicles
(Should not conflict with your locksystems or other scripts that render vehicles locked)
This is not completely Standalone, it uses ESX for notifications and item register, thus it’s fairly easy to convert to your framework.
Dependencies:
Due to me being a lazy ass, you’ll need DpEmotes to get them animations work
ESX
You’ll need to add ‘vehlockpick’ -item in your database, or what ever you want it to be, just remember to switch it out in server script
Features:
Minigame to unlock vehicle door
I also added one loop which prevents vehicles with NPC’s inside being carjacked
If you want player to lose lockpick upon failure, just add; xPlayer.removeInventoryItem(‘vehlockpick’, 1)
in the Registerusableitem function (Server)
Runs 0.01-0.02ms on idle / in use
Short preview
(oh yeah, I’m bad at lockpicking… Also includes some stupid checks and upon failure you will trip them vehiclealarms)
Oh almost forgot, as a disclaimer;
I have not developed the frontend used in the minigame nor do i claim it as my own, i suppose it was somewhere in codepen as freely shared. Anyway, credits for the original creator of it
It’s really great, but it don’t lock the npc vehicle parked ? If i use it with my vehicle lock system it doesn’t work.
Maybe you have an npc vehicle lock system to advise ?
As i mentioned, it isn’t a locksystem. What it does is lock npc vehicles that have npcs inside, not parked ones. Also about your vehicle locksystem, i do not know how it works. I use my own modifies version of onyx_locksystem, and it works fine for me
I was just writing an article on my wiki on why I disallow users using my code/resources or examples in paid content and was looking for some (anonymized) examples to use on how people release ‘stolen content’ without the original author getting anything from it, and the community getting ‘stabbed in the back’ with yet another (WAY to simple) script being behind a ‘paywall’ instead of helping each other and the community grow by sharing experiences and source codes to help each other out.
Then… I came across your two reply’s on the “original posts” of this lock picking system, dude… i seriously could not stop laughing, my wife even came downstairs from the bedroom to check out what the hell was going on
Thanks man just had to comment this, awesome how you’ve ‘dealt with this one’
Even the part where he just released “his version one” as paid resource and then just releasing a second (again paid) version which was ‘updated’ instead of just updating the first one for the user who have already paid
As someone who does professional development this kind of stuff just baffles me.
I’m really not against paid content if people make GOOD stuff and stuff which is worth the money due to it being a decently large resource with own effort, time and research put into it, but these things just ruin it.
Seriously hope that such users don’t mess up the entire community over time by making it one big ‘price battle economy’ with dozens of the same (“stolen?”) scripts behind paywalls, instead of helping each other with sharing knowledge and making the community grow as a whole.
Thanks for being one of them on the front_end of this (Pun intended )
I totally relate with you. It seems so wrong for people to use other creators (Free / Paid / Stolen) content to make money out of it, with basically no effort at all.
Also yes, it’s kind of rare nowadays to see any Free releases here, even the most simplest scripts are Paid (Thus why I gladly spend few hours to irritate these sellers when i release somewhat same script for free)…
Though on the otherhand, people shouldn’t use money to buy these kind of scripts, especially when they’re, indeed, only few lines of code and whatnot.
I think that’s (people paying for literally nothing) something that encourages people to sell their stuff, even for a few dollars / euros w.e
If only there were somekind of requirement to sell here. Oh well. Atleast one can always flag those posts for moderation !
Anyways, thanks for this motivational speech you gave
“Thus why I gladly spend few hours to irritate these sellers when i release somewhat same script for free” Yeah I seriously considered that a few days ago when someone offered “flaming bracelets” for freaking 15 bucks Just for using the freaking native
StartNetworkedParticleFxLoopedOnEntityBone()
But I decided not to do so, due to being to busy setting up a massive wiki with lots of data for fivem development, script examples etc etc, and also working on our server, and also still having a wife (and trying to keep it that way so not going to put on even more projects taking away her time )
Luckily she herself is into scripting too, so that gives me a bit more ‘overhead’ in spending time on these things in our spare time haha.
Thanks for your response and your shared view on this topic
BTW Totally agree on your view that people buying those stupid (the simple ones i mean!) scripts only motivates them to keep doing it.
Side-confession: Have to admit that I ‘stole’ your script (the lockpick) to “extract the lockpick” stuff for our (private only) Fallout themed Server, haha (atleast i will even put credits in the private server like i should)
