GetCurrentResourceName

FiveM shared native documentation with a Lua example.

Summary

Returns the name of the resource the code is running in. Used to filter resource events and to reference your own resource generically.

Returns

string — the resource name.

Example

AddEventHandler('onResourceStart', function(res)
  if res == GetCurrentResourceName() then
    -- only run for my own resource
  end
end)

Common pitfalls

  • Pairs naturally with onResourceStart/Stop to run setup/cleanup only for your resource.
  • Lets you write portable code that doesn't hardcode the folder name.
