Server Exports

Here you will find all the useful exports for this asset, please read each step and example carefully to better understand how it works, we do not recommend using these if you are not an experienced developer.


GetPlayerInfo

To obtain the player's information you must use the following export.

exports['qs-dispatch']:GetPlayerInfo(playerID, function(playerData)
    -- Other codes using this `playerData`
end)

The function exports['qs-dispatch']:GetPlayerInfo() obligatorily it must be passed the id of the player to obtain the information and the function that will be executed after receiving the data, this export returns an object with the following information of the player.

ped

Player character identifier (game ped id)

coords

Player's coordinates on the map.

street_1

Name of the street near the player (first street)

street_2

Name of the street near the player (second street)

sex

Gender of the player's character.

vehicle

Identifier of the vehicle the player is in (if in one)

vehicle_label

Vehicle label/description.

vehicle_colour

Color of the vehicle.

vehicle_plate

Vehicle registration number.

speed

Vehicle speed in kilometers per hour (if in one)

The return object has a format similar to:

{
    ped = <pedId>,
    coords = vector3,
    street_1 = "String",
    street_2 = "String",
    sex = "String",
    vehicle = "Vehicle",
    vehicle_label = vehicle_label or 'VehLabel Unknown',
    vehicle_colour = vehicle_colour or 'VehColor Unknown',
    vehicle_plate = vehicle_plate or 'VehPlate Unknown',
    speed = speed or 0
}

GetSSURL

The function exports['qs-dispatch']:GetSSURL() obligatorily you must pass the id of the player to obtain the information and the function that will be executed after receiving the data, this export returns a text string in case of obtaining the image as for example: cdn.discordapp.net/image.png. This can also return nilin case you have not been able to take the screenshot.


Creating Dispatch Call

The event qs-dispatch:server:CreateDispatchCall is used to create a dispatch call in a dispatch management system. You must pass an object as an argument to the event with the following data:

  • job (array): A list of jobs related to the dispatch call. You can include values such as 'police', 'sheriff', 'traffic', 'patrol' and any others you wish to receive the dispatch call.

  • callLocation (vector3): The coordinates of the location of the dispatch call. You must provide the coordinates in the form of a vector3 object.

  • callCode (table): An object containing a call code and an associated code fragment. For example, you can have a call code 'Hight Speed' with a code fragment 'Vehicle'.

  • message (string): A message describing the dispatch call. It may include relevant information such as vehicle model, license plate, color and speed.

  • flashes (boolean): A Boolean value indicating whether the dispatch call icon should flash.

  • image (string o nil): An image attached to the dispatch call. This can be an image URL or nil if there is no image attached.

  • blip (table): An object describing the blip associated with the dispatch call. It may contain properties such as the blip's sprite, scale, color, whether it blinks, the associated text, and the blip's duration time in milliseconds.

Be sure to provide the proper data in the correct format when calling this event to create a dispatch call correctly.

TriggerEvent('qs-dispatch:server:CreateDispatchCall', {
    job = { 'police', 'sheriff', 'traffic', 'patrol' },
    callLocation = vector3(0,0,0),
    callCode = { code = '<CALL CODE>', snippet = '<CALL SNIPPED EX: 10-10>' },
    message = "Call Message",
    flashes = false, -- You can set to true if you need call flashing sirens...
    image = "URL", -- Url for image to attach to the call 
    -- You can use the getSSURL export to get this url
    blip = {
        sprite = 488, --blip sprite
        scale = 1.5, -- blip scale
        colour = 1, -- blip colour
        flashes = true, -- blip flashes
        text = 'Hight Speed', -- blip text
        time = (20 * 1000), --blip fadeout time (1 * 60000) = 1 minute
    },
    otherData = {
    -- Optional if you dont need this you can remove it and remember remove the `,` after blip end and this block
       {
           text = 'Red Obscure', -- text of the other data item (can add more than one)
           icon = 'fas fa-user-secret', -- icon font awesome https://fontawesome.com/icons/
       }
     }
})

Creating Dispatch Call With Player Data

In this example we will use the above example Creating Dispatch Call and GetPlayerInfo.

exports['qs-dispatch']:GetPlayerInfo(PlayerID, function(playerData)
    if (not playerData) then
        ErrorPrint("Error getting player data")
        return
    end
    TriggerEvent('qs-dispatch:server:CreateDispatchCall', {
        job = { 'police', 'sheriff', 'traffic', 'patrol' },
        callLocation = playerData.coords,
        callCode = { code = 'Hight Speed', snippet = 'Vehicle' },
        message = " street_1: ".. playerData.street_1.. " street_2: ".. playerData.street_2.. " sex: ".. playerData.sex.. " vehicle_label: ".. playerData.vehicle_label.. " vehicle_colour: ".. playerData.vehicle_colour.. " vehicle_plate: ".. playerData.vehicle_plate.. " speed: ".. playerData.speed.. "",
        flashes = false,
        image = nil,
        blip = {
            sprite = 488,
            scale = 1.5,
            colour = 1,
            flashes = true,
            text = 'Hight Speed',
            time = (20 * 1000),     --20 secs
        }
    })
end)

Example code:

TriggerEvent('qs-dispatch:server:CreateDispatchCall', {
    job = { 'police', 'sheriff', 'traffic', 'patrol' },
    callLocation = vector3(0,0,0),
    callCode = { code = '<CALL CODE>', snippet = '<CALL SNIPPED EX: 10-10>' },
    message = "Call Message",
    flashes = false, -- you can set to true if you need call flashing sirens...
    image = "URL", -- Url for image to attach to the call 
    --you can use the getSSURL export to get this url
    blip = {
        sprite = 488, --blip sprite
        scale = 1.5, -- blip scale
        colour = 1, -- blio colour
        flashes = true, -- blip flashes
        text = 'Hight Speed', -- blip text
        time = (20 * 1000), --blip fadeout time (1 * 60000) = 1 minute
    }
})

Creating Dispatch Call With Player Data and Image

In this example we will use the above example Creating Dispatch Call and GetPlayerInfo and GetSSURL.

exports['qs-dispatch']:GetPlayerInfo(PlayerID, function(playerData)
    if (not playerData) then
        ErrorPrint("Error getting player data")
        return
    end
    exports['qs-dispatch']:GetSSURL(PlayerID, function(screanshot)
        TriggerEvent('qs-dispatch:server:CreateDispatchCall', {
            job = { 'police', 'sheriff', 'traffic', 'patrol' },
            callLocation = playerData.coords,
            callCode = { code = 'Hight Speed', snippet = 'Vehicle' },
            message = " street_1: ".. playerData.street_1.. " street_2: ".. playerData.street_2.. " sex: ".. playerData.sex.. " vehicle_label: ".. playerData.vehicle_label.. " vehicle_colour: ".. playerData.vehicle_colour.. " vehicle_plate: ".. playerData.vehicle_plate.. " speed: ".. playerData.speed.. "",
            flashes = false,
            image = screanshot or nil,
            blip = {
                sprite = 488,
                scale = 1.5,
                colour = 1,
                flashes = true,
                text = 'Hight Speed',
                time = (20 * 1000), -- 20 secs
            }
        })
    end)
end)

Example of the use of a command on the server

If you paste this into a server.lua file and run the command test in your tx admin console or in your game chat (by entering a valid player id) it will send a dispatch alert to all the jobs configured in that call 'police', 'sheriff', 'traffic' and 'patrol'.

RegisterCommand('test', function(source, args, rawCommand)
    -- args[1] is the ID of the player/client you want to send the callback to to receive the data
    local PlayerID = tonumber(args[1])
    if not PlayerID then
        ErrorPrint("No player ID provided")
        return
    end

    exports['qs-dispatch']:GetPlayerInfo(PlayerID, function(playerData)
        if (not playerData) then
            ErrorPrint("Error getting player data")
            return
        end
        exports['qs-dispatch']:GetSSURL(PlayerID, function(screenshot)
            TriggerEvent('qs-dispatch:server:CreateDispatchCall', {
                job = { 'police', 'sheriff', 'traffic', 'patrol' },
                callLocation = playerData.coords,
                callCode = { code = 'Test Command', snippet = 'TEST' },
                message = " street_1: ".. playerData.street_1.. " street_2: ".. playerData.street_2.. " sex: ".. playerData.sex.. " vehicle_label: ".. playerData.vehicle_label.. " vehicle_colour: ".. playerData.vehicle_colour.. " vehicle_plate: ".. playerData.vehicle_plate.. " speed: ".. playerData.speed.. "",
                flashes = false,
                image = screenshot or nil,
                blip = {
                    sprite = 488,
                    scale = 1.5,
                    colour = 1,
                    flashes = true,
                    text = 'Test Command',
                    time = (20 * 1000), -- 20 secs
                }
            })
        end)
    end)
end, false)
