[HELP] Creating a blip for skinchanger

FiveM Server Development ES/ESX

I have tried to research for some possible solutions but got myself stuck. I am trying to make it so a player can go the Surgeon on the map that will prompt them with something like:

Press E to use surgeon

If the user hits E I want it to come up with the same thing it does when a player first joins the server (the skinchanger menu) and allow them to change what they look like obviously it saving to the database as it usually does. I have only got as far as creating the blip and setting up the function to detect when the player is around the blip.

esx_skin/client/main.lua

local blips = {
	-- Example {title="", colour=, id=, x=, y=, z=},

	--{title="Example 1", colour=5, id=446, x = -347.291, y = -133.370, z = 38.009},
	{title="Surgeon Ronny ", colour=16, id=280, x = 1551.598, y = 3799.983, z = 34.41115}
}
      
Citizen.CreateThread(function()

    for _, info in pairs(blips) do
      info.blip = AddBlipForCoord(info.x, info.y, info.z)
      SetBlipSprite(info.blip, info.id)
      SetBlipDisplay(info.blip, 4)
      SetBlipScale(info.blip, 1.0)
      SetBlipColour(info.blip, info.colour)
      SetBlipAsShortRange(info.blip, true)
	  BeginTextCommandSetBlipName("STRING")
      AddTextComponentString(info.title)
      EndTextCommandSetBlipName(info.blip)
    end
	
end)

-- Enter / Exit marker events
Citizen.CreateThread(function()
	while true do
		Wait(0)
		local coords      = GetEntityCoords(GetPlayerPed(-1))

		-- if player is within 5m? then...
		if(GetDistanceBetweenCoords(coords, info.x, info.y, info.z, true) < 5) then
		
			-- show prompt to user - "Hit E to enter the surgeon"
			
		
		end


	end
end)

May not be directly answering your question but there are two scripts made that do this already, if anything you can reference the code:
