Creating Shops

Builtin shops are defined in data/shops.lua (opens in a new tab), and more can be added here to benefit from the built-in markers or zones support.

Shop definition

{
    General = {
        name = 'Shop',
        blip = {
          id = 59,
          colour = 69,
          scale = 0.8
        },
        inventory = {
            { name = 'burger', price = 10 },
            { name = 'water', price = 10 },
            { name = 'cola', price = 10 },
        },
        locations = {
            vec3(25.7, -1347.3, 29.49),
        },
        targets = {
            -- Shop using a BoxZone
            {
                loc = vec3(25.06, -1347.32, 29.5),
                length = 0.7,
                width = 0.5,

                maxZ = 29.9,

            },
            -- Shop using a ped

}

• name: string
  • The label to display when the shop is open.
• blip?: table
  • Creates a blip with the given settings. Leave it undefined for no blip to be created.
  • id: number
  • colour: number
  • scale: number
• groups?: table
  • Key-value pairs of job name and minimum grade to access the shop.
    • {["police"] = 0, ["ambulance"] = 2}
• inventory: table
  • name: string
  • price: number
  • currency?: string
    • Item to be used as currency.
  • count?: number
    • Amount of the item in the stock.
  • license?: string
    • License required to purchase the item.
  • metadata?: table
  • grade?: number | number[]
    • Grade required to purchase the item.
• locations?: vector3[]
  • An array of coordinates to create unique instances of the shop archetype at, using markers.
• targets?: table[]
  • An array of target settings to create unique instances of the shop archetype at, using peds or BoxZones (PolyZone data structure).
• model?: number[]
  • An array of models that can be targetted to open a shop. Used for vending machines.

Targets and model are only available when using a targeting resource like ox_target.

Register during runtime

Shops can be added using exports.ox_inventory:RegisterShop on the server, however they cannot utilise any client-only features.

• Blips, markers, and zones will not be created.
• Must use "locations" and not "targets" to define each shop using the archetype.

Example

exports.ox_inventory:RegisterShop('TestShop', {
    name = 'Test shop',
    inventory = {
        { name = 'burger', price = 10 },
        { name = 'water', price = 10 },
        { name = 'cola', price = 10 },
    },
    locations = {
        vec3(223.832962, -792.619751, 30.695190),
    },
    groups = {
        police = 0
    },
})
