What does it do?

Implemented with the exclusive FiveM state-bag system, this resource adds an essential tool to your police roleplay toolkit - an advanced spotlight system.

  • Mouse-guided beam for navigation, with customizable rotation radius
  • Passenger controllable, allowing partners to manage the spotlight on their side
  • Fluid and synchronized movement across all players, casting realistic light
  • Spotlight lock mode for focused illumination and coverage of blind spots
  • Dynamic tracking mode for vehicles, animals, and pedestrians
  • User-friendly interface in the bottom-right corner, displaying current mode and details
  • Remains activated even after exiting the vehicle
  • Switch between strobe and passive mode
  • Customizable spotlight position via simple UI
  • Spotlight intensity, offsets and parameters are fully configurable
  • Seamless integration with all FiveM roleplay frameworks
  • Easy installation with drag-and-drop functionality
  • Use the /editspotlight command to adjust spotlight position

:ballot_box_with_check: This resource conforms to all recommended development practices for FiveM.

We have ensured that it is lightweight, uses state bags and implements functionality for native keybindings. When idle, px_spotlight consumes 0.00% of all resource manager tick CPU time.

No snails were injured in the making :hushed:.

Installation

No prior coding knowledge is required. The resource comes with a full configuration file giving complete freedom over specific actions. Supports multiple languages through locale files. To install:

  1. Drag and drop the extracted px_spotlight folder into your resources directory.

  2. Add the line ensure px_spotlight to the bottom of your server.cfg file.

  3. Start your server and enjoy your new resource.

Specifically, you can find configuration options in px_spotlight/shared/config.lua. You can either create your own locale within px_spotlight/locale, or edit the existing locale en_US_.lang to change language. That’s pretty neat. :safety_pin:

how’re you syncing it without network event overflow? My best guess would be state bags

Hi @nathangladney,

As mentioned in our initial post, we use state bags to synchronise state between clients.

Let me know if you have any further questions. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks.

Hi @FurmaZ,

You can try out this script on our showcase server, and check the values for your machine specifically.

  • To spawn a police vehicle, use the command /veh sheriff2.
  • Use /settime 23 to set the current time to night.

:joystick: Direct Link: Connect to Phynix Project Showcase

For my machine, the values are:

  • 0ms when idle
  • 0.08-0.15ms when running (with vehicles in your scope)

Please note that the running value will always be relatively high due to time taken to graphically render a light using DRAW_SPOTLIGHT_WITH_SHADOW. Naturally graphical rendering (especially with shadows) is expensive, and it would not be possible to draw the light otherwise. This value will also depend on your hardware specification.

As such, changes in implementation would not reduce this overhead. The implementation is already incredibly optimized and primarily event-driven, without any loops or processes running unnecessarily.
