HSCRIPTS Chat

Channel tabs, private car and friends chat, floating /me and /do text

Qbox · QBCore · ESX · Standalone

Give your server a chat that actually feels like roleplay

The default FiveM chat is a plain box of text. HSCRIPTS Chat replaces it with a clean, modern chat built for roleplay servers: separate tabs for every type of message, private channels for the moments that need them, and /me and /do text that floats above your players' heads.

It installs in about two minutes, needs no database and no extra dependencies, and works with Qbox, QBCore, ESX or no framework at all.

Features

Channel tabs ALL, OOC, LOOC, ME, DO, PM, CAR, FRIENDS, STAFF and SERVER. Players click or press Tab to move between them, and unread tabs get a marker. Rename, recolour, reorder, remove or add your own channels in the config.

Private car chat (/vc) Only the people in the same vehicle can read it. Perfect for traffic stops, convoys and heists where the people in the car need to talk and nobody outside should see it.

Friends chat (/f) Players add each other with /friend add and /friend accept, then message all their online friends from anywhere on the map. Friends are saved between restarts and need no database.

Floating /me and /do text Roleplay actions and descriptions show above the character's head in purple and blue. They shrink and fade with distance, and you control the range, size, font and colours.

Everything else a roleplay chat needs

• Proximity LOOC, /pm private messages, /staff chat and /announce
