Scripting in FiveM using C# & Where to start

Soloman_N · March 6, 2017, 12:55am

I’m fairly new to the community, but I absolutely love it here. Anyways, I was wondering if it’s possible to create scripts for FiveM in C#? I’m very experienced in this language and was looking for some resources that can get me started. My dream is to make a super-hero RP server.

Thanks,
Soloman

I’m familiar with that lol. I meant: is there any API I’m supposed to be using? Like a reference to a .dll or something?

Looking for the same thing…

I’ve looked in some existing plugins that were made in C# and noticed they used a library called “CitizenFX”. Sadly i havent found it’s location yet…

I’ll keep you posted

EDIT: Found it!
PATH_TO_FIVEREBORN\citizen\clr2\lib\mono\4.5\CitizenFX.Core.dll

EDIT2: Usefull link

# How to setup development environment for C# scripts

## Prerequisites

1. FiveReborn installed client. Get it [here](https://forum.fivem.net/t/fivereborn-release/89).
3. FiveReborn installed server. Get it [here](https://forum.fivem.net/t/fivereborn-release/89) (same as above).
2. Visual Studio 2015 Community. Its free. Get it [here](https://www.visualstudio.com/ru/downloads/).

We will assume that your client installed here `C:\FiveReborn\client` and server installed here `C:\FiveReborn\server`.

## Preparation

### Create a resource

We will create a resource named `example`.

Make a resource folder inside `C:\FiveReborn\server\resources` with a name`example`.

Then create a `__resource.lua` file in it with content:
```lua

Amazing! Great work, man. I’m hoping to make some sort of zombie apocalypse mod, like i did for SP. Holler at me if you ever want to collaborate.

Looks good. I’m gonna try it out on of these days to see what its really about. Do you have a written plan for the project or are you just gonna do it and see where it ends?

Soloman_N · March 17, 2017, 7:48pm

Yep, exactly. I just wanna see what happens, I don’t usually plan my mods. When I make stuff it’s just for goofs and gafs, but if I like it enough I put time into the development.

Okay yeah sounds good. Send me your preffered way of contact so i can add you
