How To Change Fivem Weapon Recoil

Changing the weapon recoil in FiveM involves scripting and modifying weapon properties. You’ll need to create or edit a script to adjust the recoil values for specific weapons. Here’s a general guide on how to change weapon recoil in FiveM:

Prerequisites:

1. Grand Theft Auto V: Ensure you have a legitimate copy of GTA V installed on your computer.
2. FiveM Server: Set up a FiveM server environment. You can follow the official documentation for this.
3. Scripting Knowledge: Basic knowledge of Lua scripting is essential since FiveM resources are typically written in Lua.

Steps to Change Weapon Recoil:

1. Create or Edit a Resource:
   • In your FiveM server directory, create a new resource folder if you don’t already have one.
   • Inside the resource folder, create a Lua script (e.g., recoil.lua) to handle the weapon recoil modifications.
2. Write the Script:
   • In your recoil.lua script, you need to use FiveM’s scripting API to change weapon recoil values.Here’s an example of what the script might look like:

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
    while true do
        Citizen.Wait(0)
        
        local playerPed = PlayerId()
        local weaponHash = GetSelectedPedWeapon(playerPed)
        
        -- You can customize these values for specific weapons or classes of weapons.
        local newRecoilVertical = 0.0
        local newRecoilHorizontal = 0.0

        SetWeaponRecoil(weaponHash, newRecoilVertical, newRecoilHorizontal)
    end
end)

1. In this example, the script creates a loop that continuously checks the player’s selected weapon and sets the recoil values to the desired values for that weapon.
2. Test the Recoil Changes:
   • Start your FiveM server with the custom recoil resource enabled.
   • Join the server and test the modified recoil for various weapons.
   • Adjust the newRecoilVertical and newRecoilHorizontal values as needed to achieve the desired recoil effect.
3. Distribution (if applicable):
   • If you plan to distribute your custom recoil modification, ensure you have the necessary rights and permissions.
   • Share your custom recoil resource with others who run FiveM servers.

Remember that changing weapon properties, including recoil, can impact gameplay and server balance. Be mindful of how you balance and distribute these changes, and consider the impact on the overall experience for players on your server. Additionally, always ensure that you have the legal rights to make such modifications and respect the terms and conditions of the game and the FiveM platform.
