FL-Notify System Usage Guide

Welcome to the FL-Notify notification system. This guide will help you understand how to integrate and use FL-Notify within your server for displaying customizable notifications to players. FL-Notify provides a flexible way to show notifications with different styles, positions, and durations, enhancing the in-game experience.

How to Integrate FL-Notify

For Server Owners

To integrate FL-Notify into your FiveM server, you will utilize two main components: server events and client events. Here's how you can use them:

Server Events

• Triggering Notifications to Players: Use the server event fl:notify to send notifications to clients. This event can be called with specific parameters that determine the notification's appearance and content.

Example Usage:

TriggerClientEvent("fl:notify", targetPlayer, "Notification Title", "Subtitle", "Content message", 5000, "type", "position")

Replace targetPlayer with the player ID to whom you want to send the notification. For broadcasting to all players, use -1 as the targetPlayer value.

Client Exports

• Directly from Client Scripts: You can directly use the exported function Notify in client-side scripts to trigger notifications without going through the server.

Example Usage:

exports['FL-Notify']:Notify("Notification Title", "Subtitle", "Content message", 5000, "type", "position")

Positions cannot be strings. Use 0-5 for types and 0-5 for positions

Notification Parameters

When triggering notifications, you'll need to provide several parameters to customize the notification's appearance and behavior:

• Title: The main title of the notification.
• Subtitle: A secondary title or subtitle.
• Content: The main content or message of the notification.
• Duration: How long the notification should be displayed (in milliseconds).
• Type: The notification type (e.g., success, error) that may affect its appearance.
• Position: Where on the screen the notification will appear (e.g., top-right, bottom-left).

Notification Themes

Type	Theme
1	Error
2	Success
3	Info
4	Person
5	Police
6	Money
7	Info
8	Custom

Notification Positions

Type	Position
0	Top
1	Bottom
2	Left
3	Right

For Developers

If you're integrating FL-Notify into custom scripts or mods, you'll primarily interact with the fl:notify server event and the Notify client export as described above.

Replacement for qbcore

function QBCore.Functions.Notify(text, texttype, length)
    length = length or 5000
    texttype = texttype or 'info'
    
    local convert = {
        ["primary"] = 3, 
        ["police"] = 5, 
        ["ambulance"] = 4, 
        ["error"] = 1, 
        ["success"] = 2,
        ["money"] = 6,
        ["custom"] = 8 
    }
    
    local themeId = convert[texttype] or 3

    local textposition = 0 -- follow readme to know positions

    exports['FL-Notify']:Notify("Notification", "", text, length, themeId, textposition)
end
