NOTIFICATION

Notification System Setup This section outlines the setup of a notification system using a custom event and a command in a FiveM server. The notification system allows for different types of alerts to

RegisterNetEvent('es:showNotification', function(message, title, type, length, icon)
    AddNotify(message, title, type, length, icon)
end)

Parameters:

• message: The content of the notification, which will be shown to the player.

• title: The title of the notification, typically summarizing the type of alert.

• type: The notification type, which determines the visual style (e.g., "info", "error", "warning", "announce", "purple").

• length: The duration (in milliseconds) for which the notification will be displayed.

• icon: The icon associated with the notification, either as an image file or a Font Awesome icon class.

Usage

You can trigger this event from anywhere within the server code using:

TriggerEvent('es:showNotification', "This is your message", "Notification Title", "info", 5000, "fas fa-info-circle")

This will display a notification with the specified message, title, type, and icon for 5 seconds.

2. Command Registration: notify

A command named notify is registered, which triggers a series of notifications with predefined messages. This is useful for testing or broadcasting specific notifications to the player.

    Wait(1000)
    AddNotify("A special chat message has been sent to you containing unique information.", "CHAT NOTIFICATION", "purple", 5000, "chat.png")
end, false)
