Retro Radar

This section contains commands, events, and exports related to the script that you should be aware of. These are detailed separately for the client and server.




Key bindings can be customized for each player in GTA 5 Settings > Keybinds > Fivem. These values are set by default. These key assignments will be active when using the script for the first time after initial setup.

All configurable items are located in config.lua.

1. Listening for Scanned Plates Register a listener for the rs_radar:client:plateScanned event to receive data whenever a license plate is successfully captured by the system.

RegisterNetEvent('rs_radar:client:plateScanned', function(plate)
print('Scanned Plate:', plate)
-- Add your custom logic here (e.g., checking database, notifying police)
end)

2. Triggering a Plate Check Use the rs_radar:client:plateCheck event to manually command the radar to scan or lock a specific plate. This is useful for keybinds or integration with other scripts.

-- Usage: plate (string), lock_plate (boolean)
TriggerEvent('rs_radar:client:plateCheck', 'ABC1234', true)

Integration Example Below is an example of how to automatically lock the radar when a specific target plate is detected:

local targetPlate = 'SUSPECT1'
RegisterNetEvent('rs_radar:client:plateScanned', function(plate)
if plate == targetPlate then
-- Automatically lock the radar on the detected target
TriggerEvent('rs_radar:client:plateCheck', plate, true)
print('Target identified and radar locked!')
end
end)
