Use priority cooldowns
Allow one priority at a time across the server, then a cooldown before the next. Players start and end their own with /priority, staff can put priorities on hold, and everyone sees the status and countdown on their HUD.
A priority is a big scenario, like a bank robbery or a pursuit, that pulls in most of the server's units. Priority cooldowns let one run at a time, then make everyone wait a set time before the next. The status shows on every player's HUD next to the AOP, with the cooldown counting down.
Before you start#
- Your community needs the CAD, or the HUD under Mechanics.
- Your game server needs the LonexOne FiveM resource, version 0.17.0 or newer.
- To put priorities on hold, end anyone's priority or set the cooldown, a role needs the Put priorities on hold, end anyone's priority, and clear or set the priority cooldown permission. Owners and administrators have it already.
Turn it on#
- Under Mechanics, click HUD. The page opens on the Live tab.
- Under Priority cooldown, tick Use priority cooldowns.
- Set Cooldown after a priority, minutes. It starts at 20.
- Click Save.
In game#
| Command | Who | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| /priority | Anyone | Shows the status, like Cooldown until 21:40. |
| /priority start | Anyone | Starts a priority, if none is running, it isn't cooling down and priorities aren't on hold. |
| /priority end | Whoever started it, or staff | Ends the priority and starts the cooldown. |
| /priority hold | Staff | Puts priorities on hold until staff clear it. |
| /priority clear | Staff | Makes priorities available again straight away. |
| /priority cooldown 30 | Staff | Starts a cooldown of that many minutes. |
/prio works the same. Each change is announced in chat, like PRIORITY COOLDOWN: No priorities for 20 minutes., and again when priorities are available.
On the HUD#
The Priority box shows Available, In progress, On hold, or the time left on the cooldown, like Cooldown 12:35. Check Priority status is ticked under Location on the HUD page's Design tab.
From the website#
The Priority cooldown card on the Live tab shows the status, with buttons to end a priority, put priorities on hold, make them available, or start a cooldown of any length. Changes reach the game within a few seconds, and show under Recent changes.
You can rename the commands#
/priority and /prio can be renamed, or switched off by leaving their box empty, on the Game resource tab of Status & servers.
