Can a moderator or an administrator please add the "Lua" tag to this? For whatever reason it won't let me even though clearly this is Lua related but is completely left out of the Lua section of this site due to missing the Lua tag that I seemingly cannot add myself. Thanks.
-----
Interested in having a nice, fast, easy way to write/add and/or test your own Lua scripts or use existing Lua scripts for Grand Theft Auto V with ease and virtually zero/no performance loss/impact (especially when compared to the older/traditional Lua Plugin)?
Have FiveM Lua experience/knowledge that you would like to take/bring into normal GTA?
Interested in having the ability to interface various in-game things to various external/out of game things (say trigger an action on/in an external unrelated program or create your own Discord rich presence with an external utility for example, maybe even create yourself a remote game interaction api) with ease?
Well, recently I've somewhat departed from FiveM (with 3+ years of experience) and thought it would be cool to port over some of my scripts to singleplayer, finding headscript's/gallexme's Lua Plugin for Script Hook V in the process, which just simply didn't suit my needs nor meet my expectations (especially in regards to performance), and it has pretty much been abandoned for years now, so I've decided to adopt it as my own and dramatically/drastically improve my fork of it far beyond what anyone could've ever imagined being possible with this, and I plan on introducing new performance/optimization features/techniques over time and releasing updates somewhat frequently.
Mod description: Write/Use custom Lua scripts for GTA V
Bugs and features:
1: Bug - Lua Plugin itself **cannot** be reloaded, but Lua scripts *can* be reloaded.
2: Feature - Introduced FiveM style Lua game native function calls (alongside the older/legacy game native function calls for compatibility with older/existing Lua Plugin scripts)
3: Feature - An external Lua script(s) directory which is reminiscent of a typical Lua working directory that you can place anywhere.
4: Feature - Lua script reloading script for developers with DebugMode variable set true.
5: Feature - Maintain compatibility with older/existing Lua Plugin scripts.
6: Feature - Universal timer and variables containing relevant player information to avoid having to (excessively) use certain/common game native calls across numerous scripts (and avoid wasting resources by doing so).
7: Feature - Universal built in native config file reader/writer functions for data storage/retention/persistence
8: Feature - Included examples and documentation via GitHub wiki

Changelog:
- ** JM36-v5.2-Stable ** -
1: Compatibility fixes for supporting more legacy `Lua Plugin` scripts.
- ** JM36-v5.1-Stable ** -
1: Fixed inconsistencies with the "_0x" game native function calls to make it even easier to work with them in a more consistent manner.
- ** JM36-v5.0-Stable ** -
1: Skipped a version (v4.0); v4.0 was unofficially released as a private "beta".
2: Fixed typo in "Info.Player.Vehicle.Name" that prevented the vehicle's name from coming back correctly as anything.
3: Add new "Handle" variable to "Info.Player" and "Info.Player.Vehicle".
4: Make it easier to call "0x" hexadecimal game native functions by prefixing them with an underscore ("_") like FiveM does.
5: Several optimizations to the internal "_init" function and the FiveM style game native function call function generator.
6: Remove/Replace an unnecessary internal function for accessing "secondary" globals, making it a more direct access while keeping transparency.
7: Renamed a few included scripts primarily for better/optimal DebugMode operation.
8: Optimized DebugMode tick/loop further.
9: Attempt to simplify installation for new and/or basic users by defaulting ScriptsDir-Lua into GameDir-GTAV scripts dir.
10: Removed "All Lua Scripts Loaded Without Error" message; you will now only ever see errors (and script prints) printed in console (with developer asi).
11: Overall code cleanup and optimization.
12: Add/Include version information within secondary global which can be used by scripts to require a certain minimum version of this plugin and/or change behaviors depending upon the version (such as error for incorrect version or so).
- ** JM36-v3.0-Stable ** -
1: Fixed FiveM style game native function calls randomly (not) working (hopefully) once and for all and removed the excess code/checks related to this issue/bug
2: Fixed "Info.Player.Vehicle.IsOp" variable not updating whenever the player becomes the vehicle operator or a vehicle passenger
3: Implemented feature number 7 from above (config file read/write)
4: Updated the included example scripts
- ** JM36-v2.0-Stable ** -
1: Implemented feature number 6 from above
2: Implemented a check and a fix for the commonly left out "\\" ending in the "Scripts_Path" string variable (which whenever absent in the previous release/version would have caused things to completely break and fail to function).
3: Implemented a new "Info" variable which is exposed directly to your loop functions, containing plenty of useful player (and vehicle) information as well as the time which is mostly useful for wait(ing) or for delayed execution or for special script loop run timings; more Information and usage examples regarding the new "Info" variable can be found on the wiki - https://github.com/JayMontana36/LuaPlugin-GTAV/wiki/The-Basics---Getting-Started---Scripting-Examples#the-info-variable-1st-argument-sent-to-loop-functions-and-game-native-function-call-examples
4: gta5-mods specific release version - include the above wiki page (The Basics - Getting Started - Scripting Examples) as well as the "Overview" wiki page as htm/html files as a simple and effective way to "include documentation" just in case developers don't go to the GitHub for the documentation or don't know that the GitHub with the documentation exists (being that the other Lua Plugin completely lacks any documentation whatsoever in general, which is not the case here with my version).

@SloppierPizza21 No, not exactly; scripts made specifically for FiveM will not just seamlessly work drag-n-drop as-is here, you will (almost always) need to adapt the script (or parts of it) to get it to work, but it is much easier and a lot less work to do or pull off depending upon the complexity of the scripts you are wanting to make use of. There are also several FiveM specific things that are not supported, pretty much the only thing that this has to do with FiveM is if you know how to interact with or call/use game native functions in FiveM this basically just essentially replicates that, for easier porting or using/sharing of common code. I may be able to provide some examples if needed, if the wiki doesn't have sufficient detailed explanations and examples there already.

@JayMontana36 oh ok, I am trying to get those car huds that DOJ uses cause I just like how it looks but I can only find it in a FiveM version so I didn't know if it was possible or not.
17 Mayıs 2021, Pazartesi -
@SloppierPizza21 Well, if you and I are both looking at the very same car HUD, it is SUPER EASY to port, all you'd need to do is replace the "Citizen.CreateThread" and "while true do Citizen.Wait" with the Lua Plugin standard instead at the bare minimum and everything will just work. I could easily port and release it.

That's the one that I am trying to get converted lmao.
18 Mayıs 2021, Salı -
@SloppierPizza21 Yep, very same one then lol it actually required a bit more work to do because it's very outdated code in some parts and had some FiveM-exclusive things and whatnot but it is done and functional already and I will be uploading it soon; expect it on 5 mods by tomorrow hopefully, but it is currently available now at https://github.com/JayMontana36/VehHUD

@jayMontana36 is this a replacement for https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools/lua-plugin-for-script-hook-v
Im useing that one atm and havent had any issues , and i unzipped your version and it replaces the Main.lua of that one so i was wondring is this ment as a replacement to it or will my old mods lua mods not work anymore (that other one had me put lua mods in scripts/addons folder) and when i tryed to add it to your folder the mods for that dindt work and vice versa18 Mayıs 2021, Salı -
@JayMontana36 hmm ok, ill do a full uninstall of the old version first before adding yours, maybe i messed something up when i added your version, i cant do it atm as i went out shopping, when i get home ill try it out again and let you know
18 Mayıs 2021, Salı -
@cakuzma Alright, realistically though all you'd have to do is replace the `main.lua` from `Lua Plugin` with the one from `JM36 Lua Plugin` and move the scripts from `addins/addons` to `ScriptsDir-Lua`, the ASI doesn't need to be replaced as it's the same ASI between both. And if there are any scripts that don't work for any reason, let me know so that I can look into and fix it since compatibility with existing scripts for `Lua Plugin` was the first/primary objective before any of the new features in `JM36 Lua Plugin` came along.
18 Mayıs 2021, Salı -
I tryed for hours and cannot get this to work , the main mod i use for lua is https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/realistic-vehicle-controls and your main.lua will not let it run, so i have to remove your mod sadly
19 Mayıs 2021, Çarşamba -
@cakuzma Ah, I see, that script makes use of something that was never implemented in `JM36 Lua Plugin` because I never found a script that actually made any use of it, so that is my fault for it not working; expect an update on the GitHub in the next few hours addressing and fixing this (it's a fairly simple fix from/on my part), and an update here in the next day or two depending upon how long it takes them to approve the update. Sorry about that.
19 Mayıs 2021, Çarşamba -
@cakuzma Alright, I have implemented the fix and I have tested out the script and all appears to be fully working exactly as it should have been expected to now; the update (v5.2-Stable) is currently already live via GitHub and will also eventually be live here whenever they approve it in a few hours or a few days, however long it takes them. Let me know if you have any other problems/issues with things not working and I will take a look at/into it to fix it.
19 Mayıs 2021, Çarşamba -
@JayMontana36 I installed your update and its working perfectly thank your for updating it so quickly :)
19 Mayıs 2021, Çarşamba -
@cakuzma No problem; as I had stated previously, compatibility with the existing Lua Plugin scripts in JM36 Lua Plugin is the priority before new features (since it is meant to be an updated/updated replacement with so much more to offer), and I have something kinda big for the next update for developers, though I'm not sure whether I'll make that a part of Function (Re)Mapper or built into JM36 Lua Plugin.

Thank you for reloading the Lua plugin.
I can put my Lua knowledge to work now27 Mayıs 2021, Perşembe -
@THEFalkone It's on GitHub. Have a look https://github.com/JayMontana36/LuaPlugin-GTAV/wiki/Overview#installation-guide

So does this mod allow me to use any fivem lua scripts in GTA singleplayer?

my game isnt loading the asi files anybody know wat could be blocking it or how to fix

@cakuzma Yes, `JM36 Lua Plugin` is a massively updated/upgraded replacement to the old/existing `Lua Plugin`, and any/all scripts that were made for the old/existing `Lua Plugin` will also (continue to) work with/in `JM36 Lua Plugin`, but not the other way around because the old `Lua Plugin` does not have anything that was added or introduced in the new `JM36 Lua Plugin`. Scripts made for the old/existing `Lua Plugin` will generally also run faster with/in `JM36 Lua Plugin`.
If you want to use any of the older scripts that were made for the older version of `Lua Plugin` with/in `JM36 Lua Plugin`, all that needs to be done is to simply place those scripts into your new `ScriptsDir-Lua` folder from `JM36 Lua Plugin` (which is similar to the addins/addons folder from the existing `Lua Plugin`), and it should just work.
