Hello! I want to build my roleplay server from scratch without any framework (basically build my own framework for my own server) and now I’m stuck in this section as I can’t find any Standalone Character Creation & Selection Scripts.
Anyone who can link me some resources or things I could reference to?
– Documentation:
Models: mp_f_freemode_01 / mp_m_freemode_01
Ped components: https://wiki.■■■■■■■■■■■/index.php?title=Character_Components (FiveM docs doesn’t have a ped components page…yet!)
– Implementation:
For my server, I used warmenu as the menu framework for the character creation. Not the best choice but it does the job really well. Although Rage:UI is more appropriate for this job.
I use an array to store all the players variables, something like this:
clientPlayerChar = {
['model'] = "mp_m_freemode_01",
['sex'] = "M", --sometimes
['blend'] = {motherID = 21, fatherID = 0, shapeMix = 1.0, skinMix = 1.0}, --PedHeadBlendData
['blend2'] = {blemishes = 255, age = 255, makeup = 255, blush = 255, lipstick = 255, freckles = 255}, --PedHeadOverlay
['hair'] = {name = "default_hair", hair = 1, facialHair = 255, eyeHair = 1, chestHair = 255, hairCol = 0},
['top'] = {name = "default_top", dr1 = 0,tx1 = 0,dr2 = 0,tx2 = 0,dr3 = 0,tx3 = 1},
['pant'] = {name = "default_pant", dr1 = 4, tx1 = 2},
['shoe'] = {name = "default_shoe", dr1 = 4, tx1 = 0},
['mask'] = {name = "default_mask", dr1 = 0, tx1 = 0},
['hat'] = {name = "default_hat", dr1 = 0, tx1 = 0},
['glasses'] = {name = "default_glasses", dr1 = 0, tx1 = 0},
['ears'] = {name = "default_earpiece", dr1 = 0, tx1 = 0},
['watch'] = {name = "default_watch", dr1 = 0, tx1 = 0},
['bracelet'] = {name = "default_bracelet", dr1 = 0, tx1 = 0},
}
And whenever I have to generate the players character, I use this monstrosity of a function: (Note: don’t try this at home)
function providePlayerCharacter()
RequestModel(clientPlayerChar['model'])
while not HasModelLoaded(clientPlayerChar['model']) do
RequestModel(clientPlayerChar['model'])
Wait(0)
end
SetPlayerModel(PlayerId(), clientPlayerChar['model'])
SetModelAsNoLongerNeeded(clientPlayerChar['model'])
local ped = PlayerPedId()
SetPedHeadBlendData(PlayerPedId(), clientPlayerChar['blend'].motherID, clientPlayerChar['blend'].fatherID, 0, clientPlayerChar['blend'].motherID, clientPlayerChar['blend'].fatherID, 0, clientPlayerChar['blend'].shapeMix, clientPlayerChar['blend'].skinMix, 0.0, false)

SetPedPropIndex(ped, 4, clientPlayerChar['bracelet'].dr1, clientPlayerChar['bracelet'].tx1, 1)
else
ClearPedProp(PlayerPedId(), 4)
end
end
Note: On my implementation: The “top” part is used as one piece, but the ped hands, shirt and “undershirt” are 3 different and independent components. You kinda have to make sure that they match, or you will have different pieces of clothing clipping through each other, or invisible hands / clipping hands.
– Final thought:
Good luck.
Wow, okay I’m gonna use this reference to build my own character creation scripts.
Thank you so much!
