GetHashKey

FiveM shared native documentation with a Lua example.

Summary

Converts a string (model name, weapon name, etc.) into its integer hash, which most natives require. In modern Lua you can use backtick syntax model for literals.

Returns

Hash (number) — the integer hash of the string.

Parameters

inputstringThe string to hash (e.g. 'adder', 'WEAPON_PISTOL').

Example

local hash = GetHashKey('adder')

-- Modern literal syntax (compile-time, faster):
local hash2 = `adder`
-- Backtick only works with literal strings, not variables.

Common pitfalls

  • For literal strings, backtick hashing (adder) is faster than GetHashKey('adder').
  • For dynamic/variable strings, GetHashKey() is still required — backticks only work on literals.
