ESXserver

`xPlayer.addInventoryItem`

ESX server documentation with a FiveM Lua example.

Summary

Adds an item to a player's inventory in ESX's native inventory. (On ox_inventory servers, use the ox_inventory exports instead.)

Returns

void

Parameters

itemstringThe item name.

countnumberHow many to add.

Example

local xPlayer = ESX.GetPlayerFromId(src)
xPlayer.addInventoryItem('bread', 1)

Common pitfalls

Item must exist in the ESX items table.
On ox_inventory servers, use exports.ox_inventory:AddItem — don't mix inventory systems.
