How would I modify it with an API call to another script?

@Brent_Peterson
How can i make that when i press Z the seatbelt goes red and green like switches on and off

5

how can i decrease the size of the fuel number and speed number?

Modify the SeatbeltIsOn to a TriggerEvent on your belt script

7

Read through the code, you’ll understand it better

function drawTxt(content, font, colour, scale, x, y)

Now look at the DrawSealtbeltStatus and configure as you go, it’s as easy as that :slight_smile:

how to add the api call to the current fuel section of the HUD?

If you learn how to do that, can you tell me? @SXE_Razgriz

Events, look at the fivem docs and read through it

I’ve updated the script to add logic for both seatbelt and cruise control. You can configure what key is used to toggle seatbelt (default is K key) along with minimum speed and G forces to eject player when seatbelt is off. The cruise control is a simple speed limiter and you can configure what key is used (default is CAPLOCK key or controller A button).

Here’s a short demo using cruise to go ~100 MPH and hitting a car with no seatbelt.

GET_VEHICLE_FUEL_LEVEL

// 0x5F739BB8 
// GetVehicleFuelLevel
float GET_VEHICLE_FUEL_LEVEL(Vehicle vehicle);

CitizenFX API set: Client

        -- Draw fuel gauge; always displays 100 but can be modified by setting currentFuel with an API call
        fuelColor = (currentFuel >= fuelWarnLimit) and fuelColorOver or fuelColorUnder
        drawTxt(("%.3d"):format(math.ceil(currentFuel)), 2, fuelColor, 0.8, screenPosX + 0.050, screenPosY + 0.000)
        drawTxt("FUEL", 2, fuelColorText, 0.4, screenPosX + 0.080, screenPosY + 0.020)

– STATE VARIABLES
local currentFuel = 100.0
local cruiseIsOn = false
local seatbeltIsOn = false

Is this how to do it? if so where does it go?

It sounds like you can try adding this code before setting fuelColor:

currentFuel = GetVehicleFuelLevel(vehicle)

I haven’t implemented anything with fuel yet so I don’t know if that works, depends on if your fuel system uses the native API. I plan to do it eventually so the HUD element is just a placeholder for now.

14

Shows current fuel level but it never goes down.

15

Currently using vRP_AdvancedFuel I’ll have to work on it but I haven’t been able to get it to work.

16

status fuel bug ?? 100 only

17

Nothing yet kinda sucks because this CarHud is awesome and easy to edit. Yet sucks seeing that 100 on the fuel :frowning:

18

to all who want to know how to add api in for the fuel here it is working with legacyfuel

line 37 change local currentFuel = 100 to local currentFuel = 0.0
line 104 add currentFuel = GetVehicleFuelLevel(vehicle)
