mraes’ Heli Script

Formerly known as HeliCam

Description
This resource adds the Helicam from that one singleplayer mission back to FiveM.
Complete with working compass and altimeter, nightvision and thermal vision.
It also gives vehicle information and is able to lock onto vehicles.
If that wasn’t enough, it also synchronises the helicopter searchlight and allows passengers to rappel from the polmav helicopter.

A nice video.

Instructions:

  • Download resource heli.zip (4.6 KB) and put it in the resources folder. (I can also point you towards the network-synced version by @Loque , further in this thread.)
  • Add heli entry to your citmp-server.yml AutoStartResources
  • Press the the E key to switch to the HeliCam
  • Whilst in Helicam:
  • Move mouse to rotate cam
  • Scroll to zoom
  • RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON to switch between normal, nightvision and thermal vision
  • Whilst in Helicam: when hovering over a vehicle and close enough to it, you can see vehicle info. If you can see this, press SPACE to lock camera onto the vehicle. SPACE again to unlock camera.
  • Press the X key to rappel from the helicopter
  • Press the G key as helicopter pilot to switch on the spotlight (this is synced across the network to all players)

(All keys mentioned here are the default keys bound to the controls the script uses. See the source if you need to change them)
Source code
Is to be found here.
Please make suggestions or changes, I"m open to feedback.
If you make any changes, please release them to the community as well :slight_smile:

Have fun!

ps Et pour les francophones la même chose.

Fantastic mod.

Since you are now the local heli mod expert, might you consider a heli spotlight mod at some point? :grin: It’s been asked for a lot on the forums.

Either way, thanks for this one!

Hey mraes, any chances to have a spot light and/or a night vision function with it ?

if you want nightvision like this : https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/300949296990126081/322379204727406592/unknown.png

simply add :

if IsControlJustPressed(0, 229) then
					Nightvision = not Nightvision
					if Nightvision then
						SetNightvision(false)
					else
						SetNightvision(true)
					end
				end

under the loop “while helicam” and add “local Nightvision = false” on the top (control 229 is left click)

Could it be because i have a modded police helicopter…? (The model and handling are modded)

Although it makes no sense, because it works the first time but not the second time… i hear the default click but it doesnt change camera…

You’ll have to change the scripts that render this text, be they via NUI or via DrawText.
Maybe provide some hook so that you can toggle the rendering of these elements.
I can’t prevent their stuff from rendering in my script.
