Tactical Police Throwbot

Q: How do I change range, speed, or recharge time?

All of these are set in config.lua. Common settings include recharge time, pickup range, visual effects, timecycle, and drive physics. Restart the resource after changing config.

Q: Can I turn off the visual effect?

Yes. Use Config.showEffect in config to control whether a visible effect plays during use. This is useful if you want a more subtle tactical tool.

Q: The bot cannot be picked up

Increase Config.pickupRange if players struggle to retrieve it. Also confirm they are close enough and no other script is blocking interaction near the prop.

Installation Instructions

Add the following items to your ox_inventory/data/items.lua file:

['throwbot'] = {
    label = 'Throwbot',
    weight = 500,
    server = {
        export = 'gs_throwbot.throwbot',
    },
},

Execute the following SQL query to add the items to the database:

INSERT INTO
	`items` (`name`, `label`, `weight`, `rare`, `can_remove`)
VALUES
	('throwbot', 'Throwbot', 1, 0, 1);

Add the following items to your qb-core/shared/items.lua file:

['throwbot'] = {
    ['name'] = 'throwbot',
    ['label'] = 'Throwbot',
    ['weight'] = 500,
    ['type'] = 'item',
    ['image'] = 'throwbot.png',
    ['unique'] = false,
    ['useable'] = true,
    ['shouldClose'] = true,
    ['combinable'] = nil,
},

What does the throwbot do?

Players throw a small remote camera bot to scout an area. After deployment they can drive it within a configured range, then pick it up and redeploy later. It is meant for tactical scouting, not permanent surveillance.

The throwbot prop does not appear

Make sure the throwbot model or prop resource is started and not blocked by another script. Check your server console for model or spawn errors when a player tries to deploy.

How do I change range, speed, or recharge time?

All of these are set in config.lua. Common settings include recharge time, pickup range, visual effects, timecycle, and drive physics. Restart the resource after changing config.

Can I turn off the visual effect?

Yes. Use Config.showEffect in config to control whether a visible effect plays during use. This is useful if you want a more subtle tactical tool.

The bot cannot be picked up

Increase Config.pickupRange if players struggle to retrieve it. Also confirm they are close enough and no other script is blocking interaction near the prop.

Does this require a framework?

The throwbot is generally standalone. Framework-specific setup is only needed if you tie deployment to jobs, items, or custom notifications through the bridge files.
