So adamant is the older fx_manifest.json code and the new one as you know is bodacious so it’s very possible you’re running an older version of FivePD so I suggest upgrading it to the latest release because as FiveM releases new updates so do the resources so if you don’t update your FiveM as you know it won’t find the Manifest. The version you have installed was probably prior to update so you have to stay on top of updates or you run the possibility of running into error’s
with the new update to fivepd its spotlight is now working thanks again for the help
No problem man. Glad I could help

In my server we prefer commands. Is there anyway you could make a command for it?
The underlying system is actually based on commands, they’re not pretty but they work.
/spotlight
/spotlightaim up
/spotlightaim down
/spotlightaim left
/spotlightaim right
Think you could add alley lights to the script? It’d be the same as the spotlight but unable to move on the right and left side of the vehicle, being able to toggle those individually would be a godsend though.
Is there any ways to change the location for the origin of the spotlight? since my policecar has a lamp on the roof?
I for some reason cannot figure out how to work this damn thing. I think i’m just dumb but some help would be great.
it’s C lang just change the keybinds in your gta v in the GTA ONLINE tab, and make sure its streamed correctly
Feel free to drop a PR on Github if you’re familiar with C# and want to implement that.
If not, you can always just change the location in this block here and recompile manually.
Is the spotlight script loading? Check F8 in game for any errors.
Feel free to submit a PR if you’re familiar with C#. I’ll add it to the list of possible features, though.
im not quite familiar and don’t want to rip off your work but i am currently working on making it work from my countrys roof lamp on the police car instead of the wheel or side as US in this script 
Don’t worry about that. It’s open source for a reason 
. It’s tough to pick a spot that looks reasonable for all cars. I pretty much just averaged out all the default cars and found the current spot to be the best in most cases.
You can definitely change that and it’ll fit your specific car(s) better.
Not sure if this is possible but I remember in one of the single player spotlight scripts for either GTA IV or GTA V had a configurable corona that you could set up (basically just by trial/error with coordinates) for each vehicle if you wished.
Maybe add that to the config file if possible?

It would be cool if you could use the “DrawSpotLightWithShadow” native and also make it a smooth constant motion when moving the light, similar to how Department of Justice does theirs. I think that would be a pretty neat change. Would probably take some work, but would be awesome to see, adding to the realism of the spotlight mechanic.
Also, the spotlight with shadow allows to see inside the vehicle better, and also not project a light completely through the vehicle onto the other side without a shadow existing.
It’d be cool to hear what you think about this idea, and would be amazing to see in a future update!

How do i edit the position of the spotlight? Because right now it seems to originate in the fender well of most vehicles

Anyway to make the radius of the spotlight smaller?
