Skill System - ESX

In-depth installation and usage guide for the skill system created by Reflex Scripts!

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing Reflex Skill System. This guide is to help you better understand how our system operates and how to implement it into your server properly. We highly recommend having some basic knowledge in LUA before attempting to implement this into your server. We designed our skill system so it can be used for literally anything. From making more money based on your skill level to having a completely advanced job that rewards different items depending on your level. Leveling works by gaining XP. Once you have gathered 1000 XP you will advance to the next level. There is so much our skill system has to offer.

START HERE

  1. Unzip the reflex_skillsystem.zip

  2. Place resource inside your server files

  3. Go to server.cfg or resource.cfg (depending on which one you use) and add ensure reflex_skillsystem

  4. WARNING: DO NOT RENAME THIS RESOURCE OR MODIFY THE ENCRYPTED FILES IN ANY WAY!

EXPORTS

We have designed our system to include 3 exports for you to use. This should make it easy for you to design new scripts or make it easy for you to implement our system into a current script on your server.

CHECKING EXPERIENCE

There is a easy way for you to get the players current experience. You would want to run this export if you were trying to tell the script what to do if the player is a certain level. A example of the export is listed below.

exports.reflex_skillSystem:checkExp(id, 'Fishing')

After running this export our system will return the players current XP and current Level.

ADDING EXPERIENCE

Adding experience is as simple as running our export. If you wanted to add 500 experience to a player who just successfully caught a fish you would run this export below.

exports.reflex_skillSystem:addExp(id, 500, 'Fishing')

After you run this export if you check you the SQL table and look at Column "Experience" and you should now see that this player has 500 Experience.

ADDING SKILLS

We have made it easy for you to add skills to your server. You can simply run this export below when a player either does a action or when they load in. There's 3 things you would to fill in for the export...

  1. What skill are you wanting to create? (EX: Fishing)

  2. What Icon would you like to use? (https://fontawesome.com/)

  3. Do you want the skill to be visible on the menu? (true or false)

Below is a example of how you would use this export properly...

exports.reflex_skillSystem:addSkill('Fishing', '<i class="fas fa-fish"></i>', true)

USAGE AND EXAMPLES

Finally, we would like to show you how to implement this into a fishing script properly.

  • First we need to create a callback that will return the players uID...below is a example of how to do this.

    ESX.RegisterServerCallback('reflex-fishing:getPlayerInfo', function(source, cb)
        local _source = source
        local xPlayer = ESX.GetPlayerFromId(_source)
        local uID = xPlayer.getIdentifier()
        local data = {}
  
        table.insert(data, {
            uID = uID,
        })
  
        cb(data)
    end)

  • Next we would then need to create a client event that would create the skill. In this example we create the event when the player loads in, however there is many other ways to do this.

    RegisterNetEvent('esx:playerLoaded')
    AddEventHandler('esx:playerLoaded', function()
        ESX.TriggerServerCallback('reflex-fishing:getPlayerInfo', function(data)
            if (data ~= nil) then

                local id = data[1].uID
                local fishingIcon= '<i class="fas fa-fish"></i>'
                local skillFishing = exports.reflex_skillSystem:checkExp(id, 'Fishing')

                if not next(skillFishing) then
                    exports.reflex_skillSystem:addSkill('Fishing', fishingIcon, true)
                else
                    print('reflex_skillsystem Fishing skill already exists.')
                end
            end
        end)
    end)

  • Lastly we would need to create a function to give the XP to the player

function GiveFishingXP()
	ESX.TriggerServerCallback('reflex-fishing:getPlayerInfo', function(data)
		if (data ~= nil) then
	
                local id = data[1].uID
                local skill = exports.reflex_skillSystem:checkExp(id, 'Fishing')
		local level = skill[1].level

		if level <= 4 then --Event below for what to do at level 0 - 4
		    exports.reflex_skillSystem:addExp(id, 750, 'Fishing')
		elseif level <= 9 then --Event below for what to do at level 5 - 9
                    exports.reflex_skillSystem:addExp(id, 500, 'Fishing')
                else
                    -- Trigger whatever here if the level is 10 or more.
	        end
	     end
	 end)
      end

  • This event below is a example of how you could trigger the above event to give a player XP

RegisterNetEvent('reflex-fishing:skillbar')
AddEventHandler('reflex-fishing:skillbar', function()
    local finished = exports["skillbar"]:taskBar(math.random(900,2000),math.random(5,7))
	if finished ~= 100 then
	    -- Notification Trigger Here For Error.
	else
	    GiveFishingXP()
	end
    end)
