# Target Options Configuration

In the `config.lua` file, you can configure which targeting system your script will use. The available options are `qtarget`, `qb-target`, `ox_target`, and `default` (ShowHelpNotification). Follow the instructions below to set your preferred targeting option.

## Step 1: Selecting Your Target Option

Locate the `target` section in your `config.lua` or `cfg.lua` file. This section controls which targeting system is active.

### Configuration Options:

```lua
-- WARNING: Default mode will consume more ms. This option may cause performance loss!
targetScript = 'default', -- Target script name (qtarget or qb-target or ox_target or default (for showhelpnotification))
```

### qtarget

If you choose `qtarget`, ensure you have the corresponding integration set up.

* **Set the target option in `config.lua`:**

```lua
-- WARNING: Default mode will consume more ms. This option may cause performance loss!
targetScript = 'qtarget', -- Target script name (qtarget or qb-target or ox_target or default (for showhelpnotification))
```

* Ensure that `qtarget` is correctly installed and started on your server.

### qb-target

If you choose `qb-target`, ensure you have the corresponding integration set up.

* **Set the target option in `config.lua`:**

```lua
-- WARNING: Default mode will consume more ms. This option may cause performance loss!
targetScript = 'qb-target', -- Target script name (qtarget or qb-target or ox_target or default (for showhelpnotification))
```

* Ensure that `qb-target`is correctly installed and started on your server.

### ox\_target

If you choose `ox_target`, ensure you have the corresponding integration set up.

* **Set the target option in `config.lua`:**

```lua
-- WARNING: Default mode will consume more ms. This option may cause performance loss!
targetScript = 'ox_target', -- Target script name (qtarget or qb-target or ox_target or default (for showhelpnotification))
```

* Ensure that `ox_target`is correctly installed and started on your server.

### default (ShowHelpNotification)

The `default` option will display help notifications instead of using an advanced targeting system.

* **Set the target option in `config.lua`:**

```lua
-- WARNING: Default mode will consume more ms. This option may cause performance loss!
targetScript = 'default', -- Target script name (qtarget or qb-target or ox_target or default (for showhelpnotification))
```

* This option does not require additional setup beyond ensuring that the `ShowHelpNotification` functionality is properly implemented in your script.

## Step 2: Applying the Configuration

* **Save the Changes:**
  * After selecting your desired target system, save the changes to your `config.lua` file.
* **Restart Your Server:**
  * Restart your server to apply the new configuration.
* **Test the Targeting System:**
  * Verify that the selected targeting system is working as expected. Test interactions and ensure that the functionality matches the chosen option.

## **Troubleshooting**

* **Targeting System Not Working:** Ensure that the chosen target system is installed and correctly configured. Double-check your `config.lua` file for typos.
* **Interactions Not Displaying:** Verify that the integration with the target system is correctly set up and that there are no conflicts with other resources.
