Steam Required to join

FiveM Resource Development Discussion

I have been searching forever and cant seem to find my answer. I have seen a lot of other servers where you have to have steam running in the background and i would like to have that same feature for my server. I have already tried the set steam_webApiKey “” but i am still able to connect to my server without steam running in the background.

Great you asked me in that other topic. Yes, there is an option out there.

AddEventHandler('playerConnecting', function(name, err)
    local steam = false

    for k,v in pairs(GetPlayerIdentifiers(source)) do
        if v:find("steam:") then    
            steam = true
        end
    end
    if not steam then
        err("Steam is required to join the server!")
        CancelEvent()
        return
    end
end)

Server file. Pretty much anywhere if its defined as server_script.

6

so server.cfg? or just in any resource that has server.lua? sorry im a noob and dont know a lot about this stuff

7

server.lua, find this file anywhere in your scripts and just put it somewhere on the bottom.

8

okay let me test it out. give me a second

9

okay wait i am confusing my self. So i am in my resource folder and all i have to do is find a resource with server.lua?

10

Yup, if you’re using ESX, then find es_extended>server>main.lua or something, in any file you should have server sub-directory. There should be server script by any name.

11

okay i am just going to do it in my Area-of-Partol>server.lua

12

Okay it worked and it does not let me join without steam running. But when i do have steam running this happens when i try and join

I’ve edited script, I’m an idiot.

AddEventHandler('playerConnecting', function(name, err)
    local steam = false

    for k,v in pairs(GetPlayerIdentifiers(source)) do
        if v:find("steam:") then    
            steam = true
        end
    end
    if not steam then
        err("Steam is required to join the server!")
        CancelEvent()
        return
    end
end)

this will work

Yes, for 100%

18

now its back to normal. i can join without steam open :frowning:

19

Then Steam is logged in. That’s the point. In any case, you can retrieve steam identifier from player.

This is the script’s server.lua that i put the code in and this is what the console is saying
