I am looking for a WORKING jail script

FiveM Resource Development Discussion

I am looking for a jail script, one that will send the player to a set location for a certain amount of time, then release them. I am currently trying to use one I found on pastebin but it’s not working

Make sure if you grabbed the one from the paste bin you also replace your chat resource that comes with it

3

I have, when I type the commands nothing happens.

4

Then something has been done wrong or there is an issue… Get rid of this post and post in the right format in Tech Support

Don’t post in tech support. It’s either code you’ve written which is wrong or, it’s code someone else has written that’s wrong.

If it’s your code, I suggest you post it here and we can help you debug it. If it’s someone else’s code I suggest you go and post in the original topic and ask the developer for help.

Edit: My comment is based one the comments

There is no post for the code… And the code works cause many many people have it… So there for he is looking for TECH SUPPORT to help him find the problem… Could be as simple as double checking the way it was put in… The reason I suggested that is because that’s a good start to post in the correct format to have screenshots of folders to determine where the mix up is! There is nothing wrong with the script… Nothing to “Debug”…

You need to add this…

found in resource/ system folder, locate “chat” then edit Chat_client.lua with the following.

local chatInputActive = false
local chatInputActivating = false

RegisterNetEvent(‘chatMessage’)

AddEventHandler(‘chatMessage’, function(name, color, message)
SendNUIMessage({
name = name,
color = color,
message = message
})
end)

RegisterNUICallback(‘chatResult’, function(data, cb)
chatInputActive = false

SetNuiFocus(false)

if data.message then
    local id = PlayerId()

    --local r, g, b = GetPlayerRgbColour(id, _i, _i, _i)
    local r, g, b = 0, 0x99, 255

    if(string.sub(data.message, 1, 1) == "*" and string.len(data.message) >= 2) then
        TriggerServerEvent('chatCommandEntered', data.message)
    else       
        TriggerServerEvent('chatMessageEntered', GetPlayerName(id), { r, g, b }, data.message)
    end
end

cb('ok')

end)

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
SetTextChatEnabled(false)

while true do
    Wait(0)

    if not chatInputActive then
        if IsControlPressed(0, 245) --[[ INPUT_MP_TEXT_CHAT_ALL ]] then
            chatInputActive = true
            chatInputActivating = true

            SendNUIMessage({
                meta = 'openChatBox'
            })
        end
    end

    if chatInputActivating then
        if not IsControlPressed(0, 245) then
            SetNuiFocus(true)

            chatInputActivating = false
        end
    end
end

end)

client_script "clientJailer.lua"
server_script {
    "serverJailer.lua"
}

My exact code. Also replaced the chat_client, which moved my chat to the right side instead of left for some reason. Still isn’t working.

And you are entering it as *jail (password) (PlayerID) (Seconds)
No brackets

10

Yes… The console says to use “/jail” but in the files there is “*jail”

11

Yeah if you havent changed it, it will use *jail… If you give me a few mins I can give you mine the way I have it set up and with a new chat resource to replace.

12

Alright man sounds good. Video demo: https://gyazo.com/55552108d0458d1bfc8b7c02030019b4

13

Would like to use normal /jail instead of *jail, can you show an example?

14

The only reference to the “chatCommandEntered” event I could find was at the top of “chat_server.lua”. I couldn’t find where or when this event would be fired (maybe it’s for a future update?).

Anyways, double check that the event is being fired (put some prints in there) and if it’s not (which I think will be the case) use the “chatMessage” event instead. The top of the event would look something like

AddEventHandler("chatMessage", function(source, name, message)

    local cm = stringsplit(message, " ")

    if (args[1] ~= "*jail") or (args[1] ~= "*unjail") or (args[1] ~= "*jailme") then -- Not a jail command
        return
    end

    -- it's our command.. cancel the message from being sent
    CancelEvent()
    -- Rest of code here
end)

I am running essentialmode and es_admin.

How do I make it work with that?

16

You need to make sure you have

  • chat

in your yml, I dont believe you do.
Then make sure you add the chat script I posted above.
You will need to use *jail (pw) (id) (sec)
you can also use just *jail (pw) (id) (without any amount of sec it will jail them automatically for 180 secs)

now if you decide to edit the * and change all the * to / I can tell you now that it will then work as /jail etc etc etc but any / commands you have will no longer work.

17

How do I convert it to essentialmode?

18

i dont know what you are looking to convert… I use essentialmode/es freeroam. I do not need to do anything

19

The script just isnt working for me at all and I think its because the commands through essentialmode.

@Havoc… Again… There is NOTHING wrong with the code… He has done everything right and I have double checked that… Even the chat replacement… Im pretty sure it doesn’t want to work with ES because ES is crap and will be the downfall of this project
