How to Integrate Your Custom Notification Script

To integrate your custom notification script into our system, you'll need to modify the ShowNotification function found in the editable_client.lua file. Follow these steps to ensure your notifications are properly displayed.

Step 1: Locate the editable_client.lua File

• Access Your Server Files:

  • Connect to your server via FTP or use your file manager.

  • Navigate to the directory where your client-side scripts are located.

• Open editable_client.lua:

  • Find and open the editable_client.lua file using a text editor (e.g., Notepad++, VS Code).

Step 2: Find the ShowNotification Function

• Search for the Function Definition:

  • Look for the ShowNotification function within the editable_client.lua file. This function handles the display of notifications in the script.

Example:

function ShowNotification(msg)
    -- Default notification code
    SetNotificationTextEntry('STRING')
    AddTextComponentString(msg)
    DrawNotification(false, true)
end

Step 3: Integrate Your Custom Notification Script

• Understand Your Custom Script:

  • Familiarize yourself with the custom notification script you want to integrate. Note how it handles displaying notifications.

• Modify the ShowNotification Function:

  • Replace or modify the default ShowNotification code to use your custom notification script. Ensure that the function correctly calls your custom notification logic.

Example Integration

function ShowNotification(msg)
    -- Custom notification script code
    exports['okokNotify']:Alert('Alert', msg, 3000, 'info', true)
end

• Save Your Changes:

  • After integrating your custom notification code, save the changes to editable_client.lua.

Step 4: Test Your Integration

• Restart Your Server:

  • To apply the changes, restart your server.

• Trigger Notifications:

  • Test the notification functionality to ensure that your custom script is working as expected.

• Verify Display:

  • Check the notifications in-game to confirm they appear and behave according to your custom script.

Troubleshooting

• Notifications Not Appearing: Double-check your integration code for errors. Ensure the custom script is correctly referenced and functioning.

• Errors in Console: Review any error messages in the server console to diagnose and fix issues with the custom notification script.

• Performance Issues: Ensure that the custom script is optimized and does not negatively impact server performance.

Additional Tips

• Backup Before Editing: Always create a backup of the original editable_client.lua file before making changes.

• Consult Documentation: Refer to your custom notification script's documentation for specific integration instructions and best practices.
