| Modest Menu Lua Scripting Megathread With the latest release of Kiddion's perpetually popular Modest Menu came a built-in lua scripting API. This thread exists to allow the community to share, ask questions about, and help each other in creating functional lua scripts that the Modest Menu can use. The main thread will remain open for questions, support, or continued releases, but should not be used for discussions or releases for the new API. Thanks in advance for your shares and contributions. Examples of how it works can be found in the scripts/ folder of the main Modest Menu download. | |||||||||||

| Please note, every script will run in its own thread and each script can run only once at a time. Prefer many small scripts using dedicated actions rather than one script that combines everything. To always set the the vehicle heatlh to max when you first enter it: lua: local function OnVehicleChanged(oldVehicle, newVehicle)if newVehicle ~= nil thenif newVehicle:get_health() < 1000 thennewVehicle:set_health(1000)endendendmenu.register_callback('OnVehicleChanged', OnVehicleChanged)To set initial settings when switching player character (Michael, Trevor, Franklin or Online): lua: local function OnPlayerChanged(oldPlayer, newPlayer)-- When switching player, instantly refill health and armorif newPlayer ~= nil thennewPlayer:set_armour(100)newPlayer:set_health(newPlayer:get_max_health())menu.max_all_ammo()endendmenu.register_callback('OnPlayerChanged', OnPlayerChanged) __________________ "Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory." -- Leonard Nimoy GTA5 Modest Menu | Modest Menu Scripts | |||||||||||

Any tips for a newcomer to lua to get this to work? I really appreciate you posted that function because the repair vehicle function on the menu isnt working properly as we speak. Thanks for your awesome efforts and hope to hear from you | |||||||||||

I've tried with the snow lua and tinyplayer They're automatically loaded on startup, but you can manually reload them too from menu > reload scripts. For example if you add a script to the script folder while modest menu is already running, then you'll want to manually reload the scripts for them to show up. When you open the menu you should see "scripts" towards the bottom, that's where you should see "snow" toggle if you're using the snow script. __________________

| I think I misunderstood it : I thought i have to put each code in different lua files with the desired name, but it seems that i have to add the code in the menu.lua file. Will go and try so | |||||||||||

| My fault, totally forgot to remove the dot after the lua extension while renaming it. Anyway thank you, and i will try to fool around with it. Code: local function OnVehicleChanged(oldVehicle, newVehicle)if newVehicle ~= nil thenif newVehicle:get_health() < 1000 thennewVehicle:set_health(1000)endendend menu.register_callback('OnVehicleChanged', OnVehicleChanged)this one is automatic from what I can understand, but is it possible to be add it to the menu like the snow ? cause at the end it would be really suspicious if someone is just watching u by mistake | |||||||||||

You can see all the available functions in the "Readme.api" file. Edit: Have a look at menu.add_action too __________________

Both shown up in the menu but both didnt fix my car. | |||||||||||
