[RELEASE] TrafficAlert - A Message Broadcast System [UPDATED!]

ToniMorton · October 30, 2017, 4:33am

Tonight I’m Releasing my simple little script called TrafficAlert

This simple script provides RP servers with a simple script (mostly for Police or Dispatchers) to issue Traffic and other style alerts to all players in what basically is a text message.

You may have seen something like this on the DOJ clan’s server and i will admit this is inspired from their design, but this script is in fact made by me.

Installation

- Copy TrafficAlert to your Servers Resources folder
- Add TrafficAlert to your server.cfg

Download

Usage:

The only command is:  /trafficalert (message)

You dont need to use a keyboard input popup anymore! it works right from the command just type your message out after the /trafficalert command!

Feel free to use this script to learn more about fivem, Rip it apart. do what you will. though I do ask you credit me if you edit and re-release this script

If you need help with this script or any others please contact me. my discord information is in the Readme!

You are a god, in every sense of the word.

The words of a true hero.

Androsa102 · October 30, 2017, 5:14am

FAXES · October 30, 2017, 5:38am

ToniMorton · October 30, 2017, 6:13am

dibzer · October 30, 2017, 6:37am

How do you make it more than 60 characters?

NRPGames · October 30, 2017, 6:52am

RegisterNetEvent("TrafficAlert")
AddEventHandler("TrafficAlert",function()
		DisplayOnscreenKeyboard(false, "FMMC_KEY_TIP8", "", "", "", "", "", 60)
		local input = true
		Citizen.CreateThread(function()
		while input do
		if input == true then
		HideHudAndRadarThisFrame()
		if UpdateOnscreenKeyboard() == 3 then
		input = false
		elseif UpdateOnscreenKeyboard() == 1 then
		local inputText = GetOnscreenKeyboardResult()
		if string.len(inputText) > 0 then
		TriggerServerEvent('SyncTrafficAlert', inputText)
		input = false
		else
			DisplayOnscreenKeyboard(false, "FMMC_KEY_TIP8", "", "", "", "", "", 60)
		end
		elseif UpdateOnscreenKeyboard() == 2 then
		input = false
		end
		end
		 Citizen.Wait(0)
		 end
			
end)
end)

Where is 60 in mine, yours should be 20, just change the values.
Sorry about my english,
i hope help you.

dibzer · October 30, 2017, 7:05am

Thank you man! <3 All good your english is fine!

Mustang1 · October 30, 2017, 11:39am

60 Is not enough for me neither is the Tme I get to see it on the screen or my other officers,And I changed the command to /bolo = Be On The Lookout shorter and less chance of Spelling the command wrong.

Yup I could have done that better,sorry about that but the values I am using allows for a realistic BOLO, “BOLO” Be on the look out . For a White Ferrari Heading eastbound On Panarama dr 2 White males, armed to the teeth,then it stays onscreen for like 15 seconds so all my guys see it. Great job on the script LOVE it.

Mustang1 · October 30, 2017, 11:56am

just relized my 200 value is not extending it that far,still messing with it.

iceman.bvfd · October 30, 2017, 2:19pm

Love it, set ours to 120 though, works great

Jxke · October 30, 2017, 3:05pm

Okay so I would like to rework this into an Advertising script… I have everything done but I just need to know how to change the icon picture that appears, how would I go about doing that?

lifevg · October 30, 2017, 3:42pm

You would go to this code under the client script

end)
end)

RegisterNetEvent('DisplayTrafficAlert')
AddEventHandler('DisplayTrafficAlert',function(inputText)

SetNotificationTextEntry("STRING");
AddTextComponentString(inputText);
SetNotificationMessage("CHAR_LS_TOURIST_BOARD", "CHAR_LS_TOURIST_BOARD", true, 1, "~y~Traffic Information:~s~", "");
DrawNotification(false, true);

end)

Then go here https://wiki.■■■■■.net/index.php/Notification_Pictures pick which picture you want to use and replace both of the "CHAR_LS_TOURIST_BOARD"s which whichever picture you choose.

Zach · October 30, 2017, 3:48pm

If you want a advertisement script heres one i whipped up like 4-5 hours ago
