[How-To] Load CayoPerico minimap all of the time

AvaN0x · 2022-01-29T11:41:07.378Z

Hello all ,

As I have talked about it a bit two weeks ago in with some posts in this topic : [Releases] [Free] Cayo Perico Improvements Freeroam 4.2.2

I found a way to load the Cayo Perico minimap all of the time without breaking every other interiors minimap. I think that this can have it’s own topic so that people will be able to find it easily.
You can find the original post here :

[Releases] [Free] Cayo Perico Improvements Freeroam 4.2.2 Releases

Found a way to have it, only issue is the minimap edges preventing us from going above cayo perico : local _isCloseToCayo = false local _isCayoMinimapLoaded = false Citizen.CreateThread(function() while true do local isCloseToCayo = #(GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId()) - vector3(4858.0, -5171.0, 2.0)) < 2200.0 if _isCloseToCayo ~= isCloseToCayo then _isCloseToCayo = isCloseToCayo _isCayoMinimapLoaded = isCloseToCayo -- switch radar interior…

He is the snippet with some comments :

---Will be true if the player is close to cayo perico
---@type boolean
local _isCloseToCayo = false

---Will be true if the minimap is loaded with SetToggleMinimapHeistIsland
---@type boolean
local _isCayoMinimapLoaded = false

---Checks coords to know if the player is close enough to cayo perico to be in need to load the minimap with SetToggleMinimapHeistIsland
Citizen.CreateThread(function()
    while true do
        ---Wether the player is actually close to cayo perico or not
        ---@type boolean
        local isCloseToCayo<const> = #(GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId()) - vector3(4858.0, -5171.0, 2.0)) < 2200.0

        if _isCloseToCayo ~= isCloseToCayo then
            -- If the player is now close to cayo perico and was not, or vice versa
            -- Then we init our variables and unload the minimap
            _isCloseToCayo = isCloseToCayo
            _isCayoMinimapLoaded = isCloseToCayo

            -- switch radar interior
            SetToggleMinimapHeistIsland(_isCloseToCayo)
        end

        Wait(5000)
    end
end)

---Handle the minimap loading and unloading
CreateThread(function()
    while true do
        ---We don't need to do something every frame in every cases
        ---@type integer
        local wait = 500

        if IsPauseMenuActive() and not IsMinimapInInterior() then
            -- If the player is in the pause menu and not looking at an interior minimap
            if _isCayoMinimapLoaded then
                -- If the minimap was loaded with SetToggleMinimapHeistIsland, then we disable it
                _isCayoMinimapLoaded = false
                SetToggleMinimapHeistIsland(false)
            end
            -- We force load the cayo perico minimap
            SetRadarAsExteriorThisFrame()
            SetRadarAsInteriorThisFrame(GetHashKey("h4_fake_islandx"), 4700.0, -5145.0, 0, 0)
            wait = 0

        elseif not _isCayoMinimapLoaded and _isCloseToCayo then
            -- If the minimap is not loaded with SetToggleMinimapHeistIsland and the player is close to cayo perico, then we load it
            _isCayoMinimapLoaded = true
            SetToggleMinimapHeistIsland(true)
        end
        Wait(wait)
    end
end)

Resmon goes from 0.00ms idle, to 0.02ms when it has to load the minimap on the pause menu.

Here is what it will look like and with the ms consumptions :
Default minimap and radars are used.

Here is the really small resource that I used for these screenshots :
cayo_map.zip (1.3 KB)
So that you can test it easily and anybody have an example of how to use the snippet

There are two slight issues that I couldn’t find a way to fix :

Once you have changed the view from inside an interior to see the whole map, you can’t go back to the interior minimap without closing and opening your pause menu
~~I couldn’t move the radar border, so we can’t go further to the right and bottom when the map is opened.~~
To fix this, you need to set a blip in the far bottom right corner.

Thanks to @Blaxered for the information <3

If somebody knows how to fix any of these, I would be pleased to learn about it.

I hope you guys liked it and that it will be useful to anybody

At least players can put a waypoint on the airport runway

Blaxered · 2022-01-29T11:56:00.255Z

To fix this:

I couldn’t move the radar border, so we can’t go further to the right and bottom when the map is opened

you could just make a blip in the far right bottom corner with a scale of 0.0 and that’s it

Like this:

local cayoFixBlip = AddBlipForCoord(5943.0, -6272.0, 0)
SetBlipSprite(cayoFixBlip, 575)
SetBlipDisplay(cayoFixBlip, 4)
SetBlipScale(cayoFixBlip, 0.0)
SetBlipColour(cayoFixBlip, 0)
SetBlipAsShortRange(cayoFixBlip, true)
BeginTextCommandSetBlipName("STRING")
AddTextComponentString("Cayo Perico")
EndTextCommandSetBlipName(cayoFixBlip)

Nice work, thanks for sharing

AvaN0x · 2022-01-29T12:00:28.436Z

Thank you

AvaN0x · 2022-01-29T12:00:56.495Z

Oh wow, I never thought that this could fix it so easily ! Thank you a lot !

AvaN0x · 2022-01-29T12:04:54.823Z

I mentioned you in the main topic.
Thanks again !

When I run cayo perico, I shoot a video on rockstar editor, and I have a crash. Is there a solution to this problem?

AvaN0x · 2022-01-30T07:16:53.128Z

Hello, sorry but this is not related to this topic at all.
However you can find more informations here : New FiveM Update - Crashes Rockstar Editor

anon70864786 · 2022-01-30T10:37:43.825Z

I’ll eventually get round to fixing this Rockstar Editor nonsense but right now, I’m not exactly coding and bothered by it. Maybe someone from the community who isn’t drunk on power and money making schemes, can help me out with a PR

anon70864786 · 2022-02-10T13:28:21.294Z

FiveM have pushed a fix, simply open FiveM and it’ll update. Record a clip in Cayo Perico and access Rockstar Editor While in the server and it should be fine

anon70864786 · 2022-02-10T13:37:34.897Z

@Smallo any idea how you’d fix this:

AvaN0x:

Once you have changed the view from inside an interior to see the whole map, you can’t go back to the interior minimap without closing and opening your pause menu

SAVRP · 2023-03-25T07:25:09.501Z

Anyway to get this to a colored map

AvaN0x · 2023-03-25T08:32:59.329Z

Hello,
It should work the same as with the base game minimap, if it don’t it might be because of the colored minimap you’re using.

SAVRP · 2023-03-25T08:37:16.489Z

Wow awesome response time! haha.

Um yea - So we are using Postal map:

[Release] Postal Code Map & Minimap - New & Improved - v1.3 Releases

Hello everyone! Today I am bringing you yet another postal code map! I have used the great DLK FiveM Map to create a postal map. Here is how the map is laid out: [FiveM%20Map%20Sections] Here are some screenshots of the map: [Screenshot_398] [Screenshot_400] [Screenshot_399] [Screenshot_18] Changelog: 1.1 - Added remaining PD, Fire, and Hospital badges 1.1.1 - Added full size PNG version for dispatchers/CAD use 1.2 - Added minimap support, modified for server-side only (no client-…

Which then works with our nearest-postal script.

I added your resource which added the cayo map, but it was black and white.
Just trying to figure things out, because i have other islands loaded in, that id like to add to our map as well - but no idea how xD.

Wow awesome response time! haha.

You got lucky I opened the forum this morning xD

The one you’re using is only changing Los Santos yeah, this one could be what you’re looking for (to have in addition to the one you already have):

[EXCLUSIVITY] Cayo-Perico Island Color Minimap Releases

anon70864786 · 2023-03-25T15:31:51.073Z

I can confirm that the link AvaN0x has suggested you does indeed work. I am unaware of any postal maps for Cayo Perico however, as unfortunately Cayo Perico map is done differently to how Los Santos is.

Phillyfanz · 2023-08-16T00:57:36.127Z

I cannot see the cayo map. I’ve tried to use this script and I dont see whats not allowing me to see the map all the time.

Gavman225 · 2024-02-22T19:32:55.842Z

Is there a way to completely disable from seeing the map on the minimap
