jim-recycle

FiveM Custom QBCORE recycling script made by me from scratch

• Highly customisable via config.lua

  • Locations are easily changeable/removable

• Features several ways to get materials

  • Recycle Center - Trade recyclable Materials to get crafting materials
  • Dumpster Diving - Search dumpsters and trash cans for materials
  • Scrapping - Search wrecked vehicles for scraps

• Customisable points for Selling materials

  • Add a Location for an ore to the config and it will use this location for both qb-target and a prop
  • Can place them anywhere, doesn't have to be just one mining location
  • I opted for a drilling animation as opposed to the pickaxe swinging
  • Nicely animated for better immersion

• NPC's spawn on the blip locations

  • These locations can also give third eye and select ones have context menus for selling points

• Features simplistic built in crafting that uses recipes in the config.lua

How to install

If you want to use your own items or repurpose this script:

• Place in your resources folder

• add the following code to your server.cfg/resources.cfg below [qb]

  ensure jim-recycle

  Item installation

• Add the images to your inventory folder

  • for example: [qb] > qb-inventory > html > images

• This script supports automatic installation of items to items.lua with newer QBCore exports

  • You still need to install images

• If you're having issues or your core doesn't support this then, put these lines in your items.lua
