QB-PRINTER

A QBCore based FiveM script for making printers workable.

---

Description

• Take printout of real documents using in-game prop of Photocopy/Printer machine. Add printer to any location by just adding the coords of location in config.lua file

  Config.Printer = {
      [1] = {coords = vector3(-42.3, -1749.29, 29.42), heading = 320.32, SpawnModel = true, count = 50, capacity = 100},
  
      -- Add new coord and heading 
      -- SpawnModel (spawn machine prop or not at given coords)
      -- capacity (Maximum number of A4 sheets machine can carry)
      -- count (Initial count of A4 sheets in printer, when resource start)
  }
  

Dependencies

• ESX/QBCore
• ox_lib
• linden_inventory or ox-inventory or quasar inventory or qb inventory
• interact-sound (Optional if you want printing sounds. Check ogg file in assets and put that in interact-sound)

Installation

• Drag and Drop assets file (given in assets folder) in mentioned folders

File	Folder Path
printer.ogg	interact-sound/client/html/sounds
a4sheets.png	linden_inventory/html/images
printerdocument.png	linden_inventory/html/images

For Linden Inventory

• Add items in linden_inventory/shared/items.lua, code snippet is given below

  ['a4sheets'] = {
      label = 'A4 Sheets',
      weight = 500,
      stack = true,
      close = false,
  },
  
  ['printerdocument'] = {
      label = 'Printed Document',
      weight = 1000,
      stack = false,
      close = true,
      client = {}
  },
  

• Update linden_inventory/client/main.lua file as mentioned in code snippet
• look for event - 'linden_inventory:useItem' and add an extra "and" like mentioned in the snippet

RegisterNetEvent('linden_inventory:useItem')
AddEventHandler('linden_inventory:useItem', function(item)
    if item ~= "printerdocument" and item.metadata.bag and not currentInventory then
        invOpen = false
        TriggerServerEvent('linden_inventory:openInventory', 'bag', { id = item.metadata.bag, label = item.label..' ('..item.metadata.bag..')', slot = item.slot, slots = item.metadata.slot or 5})
        return
    end
end)

• Set Config.Inventory = "linden" in config

For OX Inventory

1. Set Config.Inventory = "ox" in config

2. Add the item in items.lua like this

['a4sheets'] = {
        label = 'A4 Sheets',
        weight = 500,
        stack = true,
        close = false,
    },

    ['printerdocument'] = {
        label = 'Printed Document',
        weight = 1000,
        stack = false,
        close = true,
        description = nil,
        client = {
            export = "snipe-printer.useDocument"
        },
    },

For Quasar inventory

• Add the two items in your qs-core/config/config_items.lua

    ["printerdocument"] = {
        ["name"] = "printerdocument",
        ["label"] = "Printer Document",                 
        ["weight"] = 50,         
        ["type"] = "item",         
        ["image"] = "printerdocument.png",     
        ["unique"] = true,         
        ["useable"] = true,     
        ["shouldClose"] = true,    
        ["combinable"] = nil,
        ["description"] = "Important Document"
    },
    ["a4sheets"] = {
        ["name"] = "a4sheets",
        ["label"] = "A4 Sheets",                 
        ["weight"] = 50,         
        ["type"] = "item",         
        ["image"] = "a4sheets.png",     
        ["unique"] = true,         
        ["useable"] = true,     
        ["shouldClose"] = true,    
        ["combinable"] = nil,
        ["description"] = "Blank Papers to insert into printer"
    },

- Set Config.Inventory = "qs" in config

For QB Inventory

Add items in items.lua, code snippet is given below

['printerdocument']              = {['name'] = 'printerdocument',               ['label'] = 'Document',                 ['weight'] = 500,       ['type'] = 'item',      ['image'] = 'printer_documents.png',    ['unique'] = true,      ['useable'] = true,     ['shouldClose'] = true,    ['combinable'] = nil,   ['description'] = 'A nice document'},
["a4sheets"]                     = {["name"] = "a4sheets",                      ["label"] = "A4Sheets Pack",            ["weight"] = 2000,      ["type"] = "item",      ["image"] = "a4sheets.png",             ["unique"] = false,     ["useable"] = false,    ["shouldClose"] = true,    ["combinable"] = nil,   ["description"] = "A bundle of 20 A4 Sheets"},

- Update FormatItemInfo() function in qb-inventory/html/js/app.js file as mentioned in code snippet

function FormatItemInfo(itemData) {

    //Add else if condition for printerdocument item
    else if (itemData.name == "printerdocument") {
        $(".item-info-title").html('<p>'+itemData.label+'</p>')
        $(".item-info-description").html('<p>'+itemData.info.documentname+'</p><br/>');
    }

}

• Set Config.Inventory = "qb" in config
