Herbs V2

Paid edition · RedM · VORP by default, customizable

Collect plants, choose rewards and create your gathering areas. You do not need to be a developer to configure Herbs: with VORP, manage the main settings through the in-game menu using this guide. To change framework or add effects from other scripts, see the editable files and dedicated guides below.

Herbs V2 in game — Show collection, the blip and the awarded items notification.

Overview

• 41 plant types, with customizable names, blips and rewards.
• Global or per-plant settings for blips, horseback collection, respawn and supported consumption effects, within RedM's native limits. Some plants cannot be eaten; Saltbush only allows eating.
• Groups with multiple positions and plant choices based on probabilities.
• Positions and groups already supplied as in V1; edit them or add more in game.

Performance and shared gameplay

Joining players see the current plant state. When someone collects or eats a plant, other players receive the update; the same available plant does not award collection to two players at once.

Low resmon: in the author's test among 41 plants, the highest observed value was 0.02 ms. This is the result of that test, not a guaranteed limit for every server.

Installation

1. Download your package from the Cfx.re Portal.
2. Put rz_herbs in your resources directory without renaming it.
3. Start your core, inventory and oxmysql before Herbs. VORP is the default integration; change it through the public bridges.
4. Add to your server.cfg:

ensure oxmysql
ensure vorp_core
ensure vorp_inventory
ensure rz_herbs

You need RedM with OneSync and a working database connection for oxmysql.

First start — Show Herbs in the RZ menu's script list.

Moving from V1

Stop V1 and remove it from active resources; move it elsewhere if you want to keep a copy. Replace it with V2 named rz_herbs: the two editions cannot run together.

V2 needs configuring: starting groups and coordinates already match V1, but your personal changes are not imported. Choose rewards and adjust settings in game. You can use items already in your inventory.

Menu

Open /rz → Herbs for this script's settings.

MENU GUIDE →

General

Box	Settings
Base	Gameplay text language, script enabled, debug
Plants	Horseback collection, additional effects, rendering distance and respawn time
Global blips	Visibility, icon and color
Discord logs	Webhook and collection/eating logs enabled

Rendering distance ranges from 5 to 100; respawn from 1 to 1440 minutes. Debug is for troubleshooting. Additional effects are off by default.

General settings — Show Base, Plants and Global blips.

Global or custom

Plants follow global settings by default. Choose Custom to make an exception. Example: blips off for all plants, but on for Yarrow. Use global for all removes exceptions for that setting.

Plants

Select or search for a plant to change its name, blip, horseback collection, respawn and rewards. The effects box only appears for edible plants.

A customized plant — Show Yarrow with a custom blip and an inherited setting.

Rewards

Rewards are empty by default: choose your inventory items.

1. Open a plant → Collection rewards.
2. Select an item, minimum/maximum quantity and chance; add the row.
3. Repeat for any other rewards.

Each reward has an independent chance: two at 50% can give neither, one or both. A 100% chance does not bypass inventory limits. The notification lists items actually received.

No item received?

Check configured rewards, the exact item name and inventory capacity/limits. A plant is still collected even without rewards.

Multiple rewards — Show two items with quantities and chances.

Optional plant items — VORP

To add plant items, you can run public/herbs-vorp.sql in your database. This is optional: existing inventory items work too, and importing does not set up rewards for you. Instructions are in the SQL file and package README.

Positions and chances

1. Open Positions and create a group with a recognizable name.
2. Set its group chance and add plants; confirm each choice.
3. Capture positions in game where plants should appear. Move or remove them as needed.

Plant group — Show two plant choices with chances and several positions.

How chances work

Group: chance that something spawns at each position, on startup and after collection. If the respawn roll fails, that point stays empty.

Plants: determine which plant is chosen when a position spawns one. Percentages adjust to your choices: values of 1 and 3 mean 25% and 75%.

For fixed points with one plant: set the group to 100%, add one plant and your positions.

Consumption effects

In public/eateffects.lua, add functions from other scripts for hunger, thirst, stress or your preferred effects. There is a function for each edible plant: insert your system's call and enable the effect in the menu.

The setting enables additional effects, not RedM's native Eat prompt. Herbs already sends the eating notification; do not duplicate it in the effect.

Consumption effect — Show an edible plant's effect setting and help.

Notification wording

Open public/notifications.lua and edit the quoted text in the English en or Italian it block. There are no placeholders to manage: names and quantities are added automatically.

For example, changing found = "You found:" can show “You found: x1 Yarrow”. The found_suffix and eaten_suffix fields only add final punctuation and can stay empty.

Save the file and restart only rz_herbs. To replace the notification system, follow the dedicated guide.

In-game notifications — Show collection with several items and a message after eating.
