From FiveM to Discord commands

FiveM Resource Development & Modding Discussion

Hello!

I am trying to develop a script that if the player types the command “help” on the FiveM console, a message will be sent on the Discord server. Do I need to do this through a Discord bot? Or do I need to do some configuration/code between the Discord and FiveM servers?
I may not have explained myself correctly, but it was the simplest way I found to explain what I want to do.

I hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance!

What you are looking for is a simple webhook.
Check if this bot works out ^^

Hey there, here’s some code I wrote down and tested and gave me the result I think you’re looking for.

You can place this code in any server file and it should work fine:

local WebHook = 'INSERT_DISCORD_WEBHOOK'

RegisterCommand('help', function(source, args, msg)
    local xPlayer       = ESX.GetPlayerFromId(source)
    local identifier	= GetPlayerIdentifiers(source)[1]
    local message       = msg
    sendToDiscord(16753920, "Help Me", 'Player in need of help: '..message, "Identifier: "..identifier)
end)

function sendToDiscord(color, name, message, footer)
    local embed = {
        {
            ['color']       = color,
            ['title']       = '**'..name..'**',
            ['description'] = message,
            ['footer']      = {
                ['text']    = footer,
            },
        }
    }
    PerformHttpRequest(WebHook, function(err, text, headers) end, 'POST', json.encode({username = name, embeds = embed}), { ['Content-Type'] = 'application/json' })
end

Just create a webhook in discord and replace the WebHook variable with your new discord webhook.

Hope this helps.

Yes, that’s exactly what I want. I tried, but it gave me an error :confused:
I copy-pasted your code and changed the WebHook variable as you said.

ERROR

SCRIPT ERROR @DiscordCommands/commands/help.lua:12: attempt to call a nil value (filed ‘GetPlayerFromId’)

I made a script just for these types of commands. Here is my fxmanifest.lua file:

fx_version 'cerulean'
game 'gta5'

description 'Discord Commands'
version 'beta'

client_scripts {
    'commands/*.lua'
}

What am I missing?

You’re placing this in a client file. This has to be inside of a server file.

move your help.lua file and change your fxmanifest:

fx_version 'cerulean'
game 'gta5'

description 'Discord Commands'
version 'beta'

client_scripts {
    'commands/*.lua'
}

server_script 'help.lua'

Yup, that’s it! It has to be a server-side file. But I have some changes to make to your code.
The RegisterCommand for server-side requires a boolean:

REGISTER_COMMAND(char* commandName, func handler, BOOL restricted);

It needs the boolean at the end to work properly. At least according to the native documentation!

Thank you! :smile:
And thanks @ItzCelyrian for trying to help me with that bot! I haven’t tried it, but I’m sure it works too, but what I wanted was more of an option like the one @DevNaka gave. But anyway, thanks to both of you!
