Usage

Player Usage Guide

• Opening the Menu: Press F7 or type /dispatchmenu to open the dispatch interface.
• Browsing Calls: Use the search bar to filter dispatches by title, location, or suspect details. You can also filter by categories (e.g., Vehicle, Downed).
• Viewing Details: Click on a dispatch card to see exact details like distance in meters, urgency, and to focus the blip on your map.
• Responding: When a dispatch comes in, press G to notify other units you are responding, or press H to clear your responder status.

Developer & Customization Notes

The user interface is built using Vue.js (source code available in the web folder) and communicates with the game client via NUI Events.

• UI Source Code: Find the frontend source inside the web/ directory. (Use npm run build after making modifications)
• NUI Actions: Handled in web/src/utils/nui-events.js (includes openMenu, addDispatch, updateGps, respond, etc.)
• Escrow / Open Source: Core configuration (shared/*.lua) and client checks (client/checks.lua) are completely unescrowed for easy modification.

Developer API (Exports & Events)

To trigger custom dispatches from your own scripts, you can use the built-in export (Client-Side) or server/client events.

Client-Side Export

You can use the SendDispatch export directly from any client script. This is the recommended method.

exports["aty_dispatchv2"]:SendDispatch({
    title = "Bank Robbery",           -- Required: Title of the dispatch
    code = "10-90",                   -- Required: Dispatch code
    blipType = 161,                   -- Optional: Blip sprite ID (default: 1)
    blipName = "Bank Robbery",        -- Optional: Name of the blip on the map
    icon = "shooting-bg.svg",         -- Optional: Icon for the UI (default: officer-bg.svg)
    urgent = true,                    -- Optional: Emphasizes the dispatch in the UI
    isUnknown = true,                 -- Optional: Hides the player's name and shows "Unknown"
    jobs = {"police", "sheriff"},     -- Optional: Specific jobs that will receive this dispatch
    coords = vector3(x, y, z),        -- Optional: Custom coordinates (defaults to player pos)
    colors = {"FFFFFF", "FFFFFF"}     -- Optional: Hex gradients for the UI (defaults to job colors)
})

Server & Client Events

Alternatively, if you are calling it from the server, you can trigger events to achieve the same result.

From Server-Side to Server:

-- dispatchData takes the same table structure as the export above
-- jobsTable is an array of jobs that should receive it (e.g. {"police"})
TriggerEvent("aty_dispatchv2:server:sendDispatch", dispatchData, jobsTable)

From Client-Side to Client:

-- dispatchData takes the same table structure as the export above
TriggerEvent("aty_dispatchv2:client:sendDispatch", dispatchData)
