Module 06 · Lesson 19

/heal command, your first script

By the end of this lesson you will type /heal in chat and watch your character refill to full health, on a real server, with cheating already blocked.

You'll ship: A working /heal command that heals only the player who typed it, with a 60 second cooldown.
Time: About 25 minutes if you go slow.
You'll learn: How a chat command becomes code, and why the server is the one allowed to say yes.
Prereqs: You can start a FiveM server and edit a file. That is enough.

BEFORE YOU START

Build it

Make the resource folder

The server has one folder for this lesson.

Inside your server's resources folder, create this folder:

code

resources/qu_heal_command

Create the files

Every file named in the manifest exists.

Create this exact file layout:

code

resources/qu_heal_command/
fxmanifest.lua
server.lua
client.lua

Write fxmanifest.lua

FiveM knows which files to load.
