Pulsar Advanced Coordinates

A FiveM resource for selecting and copying Vector3 coordinates with a visual marker. Supports both clipboard copy and export functionality for other scripts.

Features

• 🎯 Visual marker that follows your camera aim
• 📋 Copy coordinates directly to clipboard
• 🔌 Export function for integration with other scripts
• 🎨 Persistent UI instructions using ox_lib
• 🔴 Red sphere marker for precise coordinate selection

Dependencies

• ox_lib - Required for clipboard, notifications, and UI

Installation

1. Download and place the resource in your server's resources folder
2. Ensure ox_lib is installed and started before this resource
3. Add to your server.cfg:

ensure ox_lib
ensure pulsar-advencedcoords

Usage

Command Mode (Copy to Clipboard)

Use the /coords command to activate coordinate selection:

1. Type /coords in chat
2. A red marker will appear where your camera is pointing
3. Move your camera to position the marker where you want
4. Press E to copy the coordinates to your clipboard
5. Paste the coordinates anywhere (format: vector3(x, y, z))

Export Mode (For Developers)

Use the export function to integrate coordinate selection into your own scripts:

exports['pulsar-advencedcoords']:selectCoords(function(coords)
    -- coords is a vector3 object
    print('Selected coordinates:', coords)
    print('X:', coords.x, 'Y:', coords.y, 'Z:', coords.z)
end)

How It Works

1. The script uses raycasting from the camera to detect surfaces
2. A red marker (sphere) is drawn at the raycast hit point
3. If no surface is detected, the marker appears 2 units in front of the player
4. When E is pressed:
   • Command mode: Coordinates are copied to clipboard with notification
   • Export mode: Coordinates are passed to the callback function

Configuration

You can modify the following in client/client.lua:

• Marker distance: Change local distance = 10.0 (line 43)
• Fallback distance: Change markerCoords = playerCoords + camDir * 2.0 (line 52)
• Marker appearance: Modify the DrawMarker parameters (line 56)
• Key binding: Change IsControlJustPressed(0, 38) (line 60) - 38 is E key
