Introduction

Comic-style interaction hints like “[E] Open shop”, with real key caps. Standalone, with copy-paste setup guides for ESX and QBCore.

Description:

Replace the plain GTA help text with a clean comic-style interaction hint. Key presses are shown as real key caps, and GTA control codes show the key the player actually has bound.

Features#

• Smart key caps: [E] Open shop shows an E key cap, ~INPUT_PICKUP~ shows the player's real binding, and several keys in one hint are supported

• Two-line hints: start a second line with ~n~ or \n

• Unlimited types: add your own in the config, each with its own color and icon. Ready to use: info, shop, vehicle, warning and success

• 8 screen positions: choose where the hint appears on screen

• Light on performance: repeated calls with the same text send nothing to the UI, and per-frame hints hide by themselves when your script stops calling them

• Hides automatically: while the pause menu or map is open

• Client exports: Show (optionally with a duration), ShowThisFrame for per-frame loops, Hide and IsShowing

• No conflicts between scripts: a script can only hide its own hint, so two scripts can't hide each other's hints

• Server exports: ShowClient and HideClient, for one player, a list of players or everyone

• Secure events: server-only events that clients cannot trigger

• ESX guide: ready-made code for ESX.ShowHelpNotification (and optionally ESX.TextUI), so every ESX script uses the new hint. The original GTA help text stays as a fallback

• QBCore guide: ready-made code for qb-core's DrawText, so every script using it shows the comic hint

• Test command: /helpnotifytest shows every type; only admins can use it by default

Compatibility#

• Frameworks: ESX, QBCore, Standalone

Requirements#

• None. Standalone. The optional ESX or QBCore setup needs a small code paste into es_extended or qb-core, explained in the README.
