1 / 3Built interface — Event logger script
Overview
Developer Tools Kit is a set of resources for the person who builds and maintains a FiveM server rather than the people who play on it. Every tool is gated behind an ace permission, runs only when a developer convar is set and adds nothing to the client for ordinary players. The kit exists because the same dozen chores, finding a coordinate, spawning a test vehicle, reading what an event actually sent, restarting a resource after a one-line change, come up every day and deserve proper tools.
The coordinate and zone editor lets you walk to a spot, drop a marker, adjust it with the gizmo and copy the result as a vector3, vector4 or an ox_lib zone definition. The spawner lists peds, vehicles and props by model name, and the handling editor changes handling.meta values on the live vehicle with a slider per field and exports the block when you are done. The event logger records every net event with its source and payload, filtered by resource, so you read what was sent.
Hot reload watches a resource folder and restarts it when a file changes, with a guard list for resources that must never restart on a live server. The NUI inspector opens any resource's NUI page in a dev panel with its messages and callbacks listed, and the database console runs read queries against your oxmysql connection with the results in a table and write queries only after a confirmation and with the statement logged. Each tool is a separate resource, so you run only the ones you want.
What you get
- Coordinate and zone editor with gizmo, exporting vector3, vector4 and ox_lib zones
- Ped, vehicle and prop spawner with model search and cleanup command
- Event logger capturing net events with source, payload and resource filters
- Resource hot reload with a file watcher and a guard list for live servers
- NUI inspector listing messages and callbacks for any running NUI resource
- Handling editor with per-field sliders and handling.meta export
- Database query console over oxmysql with confirmation on writes and a statement log
- Ace permission set and developer convar so the tools never load for players
Eligible resources
The plan covers these resource types. Individual resources are listed in your Gaming Library as they publish.
- Editor tools
- Spawners
- Event logger
- Hot reload
- NUI inspector
- Query console
Features
- Read what was sent
- The event logger shows each net event with its source and full payload, which turns a silent failure into a line you can read.
- Coordinates without alt-tabbing
- Drop a marker, nudge it with the gizmo and copy a vector or zone definition straight into your config file.
- Safe on a live server
- Every tool sits behind an ace permission and a developer convar, and hot reload refuses resources on the guard list.
