FiveM Admin Zone

A very basic script that administrators can use for staff tasks like setting up admin areas. As a result, other players are aware of the staff issue.


📁 File: config.lua

Full Example:

config = {}

config.message = "~r~You are near an staff situation, please stay away."
config.text = {
    x = 0.45,
    y = 0.0
}

config.defaultRadius = 100  -- Default radius for the zone (in game units/metres)
config.maxRadius = 100      -- Maximum allowed radius

config.perms = {
    useFramework = true,
    frameworkName = "framework",      -- Your framework resource name (e.g., "esx", "qb-core")
    departmentLevel = "admin_level",  -- The permission key/level inside your framework

    acePerms = "zone.clear"           -- Fallback ACE permission if framework is disabled
}

🔔 What It Does

  • Displays a warning message on screen when a player is near an active staff situation or zone.

  • Uses either framework-based permissions or ACE permissions to allow staff to manage these zones.

  • Supports radius configuration to define how close a player can get before receiving the alert.


🧾 Configuration Breakdown

🧨 config.message

This is the message displayed to players who enter the restricted zone.

config.message = "~r~You are near an staff situation, please stay away."

You can use in-game color codes (e.g., ~r~ for red, ~b~ for blue).


🧭 config.text

Sets the screen coordinates for the warning message:

config.text = {
    x = 0.45,
    y = 0.0
}
  • x: Horizontal position (0.0 left to 1.0 right)

  • y: Vertical position (0.0 top to 1.0 bottom)


📏 config.defaultRadius & config.maxRadius

Defines the distance (in meters) around the staff zone where the warning becomes active.

config.defaultRadius = 100
config.maxRadius = 100

The system may allow setting custom radii on a per-zone basis, up to maxRadius.


🔐 Permissions Setup

You can control who can create or manage these zones using either a framework or ACE permissions.

✅ Framework Mode

config.perms.useFramework = true
config.perms.frameworkName = "framework"
config.perms.departmentLevel = "admin_level"
  • useFramework: Enables permission checking through your framework.

  • frameworkName: Name of the framework resource (e.g., "framework").

  • departmentLevel: Key used to identify admins (e.g., check if PlayerData.dept == "admin" or similar department in your framework).


🔒 ACE Permissions Mode

If your server doesn’t use a framework or you prefer ACE-based permissions:

config.perms.useFramework = false
config.perms.acePerms = "zone.clear"

To grant access:

In your server.cfg, add:

add_ace group.admin "zone.clear" allow
