SetNotificationTextEntry / DrawNotification

FiveM client native documentation with a Lua example.

Summary

Shows a native GTA notification (the top-left phone-style message). A no-dependency way to notify players, though most frameworks provide nicer notify functions.

Returns

void

Example

SetNotificationTextEntry('STRING')
AddTextComponentSubstringPlayerName('~g~Job complete')
DrawNotification(false, false)

Common pitfalls

  • Framework notify (QBCore/ESX/ox) usually looks better and is preferred.
  • Supports GTA color codes like ~g~ and ~r~.
