Adding the Warehouse Management Menu

This script was made in such a way that instead of adding marker and a blip on the map to access the warehouse management menu, thus increasing server performance usage, a small menu item must be added in an already existing menu.

Getting the script file

For this tutorial, that is applicable to whatever menu, let's say that you have a mafia job (esx_mafiajob) and want them to be able to manage the warehouses on Los Santos.

  • Take your main.lua file located in the client folder and open it.
  • Navigate down to the function opening the menu you wish to add the Warehouse Management Menu to.
  • Let's say you want to add it to the OpenCloakroomMenu(). Do not be impressed by the size of the function, the lines we will have to add will be near the top of the function.
function OpenCloakroomMenu()
  local elements = {
    {label = _U('citizen_wear'), value = 'citizen_wear'},
    {label = _U('mafia_wear'), value = 'mafia_wear'}
  }
  ESX.UI.Menu.CloseAll()
  if Config.EnableNonFreemodePeds then
      table.insert(elements, {label = _U('sheriff_wear'), value = 'sheriff_wear'})
    table.insert(elements, {label = _U('lieutenant_wear'), value = 'lieutenant_wear'})
    table.insert(elements, {label = _U('commandant_wear'), value = 'commandant_wear'})
  end
    ESX.UI.Menu.Open(
      'default', GetCurrentResourceName(), 'cloakroom',
      {
        title    = _U('cloakroom'),
        align    = 'top-left',
        elements = elements,
        },
        function(data, menu)
      menu.close()
      --Taken from SuperCoolNinja
      if data.current.value == 'citizen_wear' then
        ESX.TriggerServerCallback('esx_skin:getPlayerSkin', function(skin, jobSkin)
          local model = nil
          if skin.sex == 0 then
            model = GetHashKey("mp_m_freemode_01")
          else
            model = GetHashKey("mp_f_freemode_01")
          end
          RequestModel(model)
          while not HasModelLoaded(model) do
            RequestModel(model)
            Citizen.Wait(1)
          end
          SetPlayerModel(PlayerId(), model)
          SetModelAsNoLongerNeeded(model)
          TriggerEvent('skinchanger:loadSkin', skin)
          TriggerEvent('esx:restoreLoadout')
        end)
      end
      if data.current.value == 'mafia_wear' then
        ESX.TriggerServerCallback('esx_skin:getPlayerSkin', function(skin, jobSkin)
          if skin.sex == 0 then
            TriggerEvent('skinchanger:loadClothes', skin, jobSkin.skin_male)
          else
            TriggerEvent('skinchanger:loadClothes', skin, jobSkin.skin_female)
          end
        end)
      end
      if data.current.value == 'mafia_wear' then
        ESX.TriggerServerCallback('esx_skin:getPlayerSkin', function(skin, jobSkin)
        if skin.sex == 0 then
          local model = GetHashKey("G_M_M_ArmBoss_01")
          RequestModel(model)
          while not HasModelLoaded(model) do
            RequestModel(model)
            Citizen.Wait(0)
          end
          SetPlayerModel(PlayerId(), model)
          SetModelAsNoLongerNeeded(model)
      else
          local model = GetHashKey("G_M_M_ArmBoss_01")
          RequestModel(model)
          while not HasModelLoaded(model) do
            RequestModel(model)
            Citizen.Wait(0)
          end
          SetPlayerModel(PlayerId(), model)
          SetModelAsNoLongerNeeded(model)
          end
        end)
      end
      if data.current.value == 'lieutenant_wear' then
        ESX.TriggerServerCallback('esx_skin:getPlayerSkin', function(skin, jobSkin)
        if skin.sex == 0 then
          local model = GetHashKey("G_M_M_ArmBoss_01")
          RequestModel(model)
          while not HasModelLoaded(model) do
            RequestModel(model)
            Citizen.Wait(0)
          end
          SetPlayerModel(PlayerId(), model)
          SetModelAsNoLongerNeeded(model)
      else
          local model = GetHashKey("G_M_M_ArmBoss_01")
          RequestModel(model)
          while not HasModelLoaded(model) do
            RequestModel(model)
            Citizen.Wait(0)
          end
          SetPlayerModel(PlayerId(), model)
          SetModelAsNoLongerNeeded(model)
          end
        end)
      end
      if data.current.value == 'commandant_wear' then
        ESX.TriggerServerCallback('esx_skin:getPlayerSkin', function(skin, jobSkin)
        if skin.sex == 0 then
          local model = GetHashKey("G_M_M_ArmBoss_01")
          RequestModel(model)
          while not HasModelLoaded(model) do
            RequestModel(model)
            Citizen.Wait(0)
          end
          SetPlayerModel(PlayerId(), model)
          SetModelAsNoLongerNeeded(model)
      else
          local model = GetHashKey("G_M_M_ArmBoss_01")
          RequestModel(model)
          while not HasModelLoaded(model) do
            RequestModel(model)
            Citizen.Wait(0)
          end
          SetPlayerModel(PlayerId(), model)
          SetModelAsNoLongerNeeded(model)
          end
        end)
      end
      CurrentAction     = 'menu_cloakroom'
      CurrentActionMsg  = _U('open_cloackroom')
      CurrentActionData = {}
    end,
    function(data, menu)
      menu.close()
      CurrentAction     = 'menu_cloakroom'
      CurrentActionMsg  = _U('open_cloackroom')
      CurrentActionData = {}
    end
  )
end

Adding the menu item

  • First, add the following line
{label = "Warehouse Management", value = 'mafia_warehousemenu'}

Inside the following array :

 local elements = {
    {label = _U('citizen_wear'), value = 'citizen_wear'},
    {label = _U('mafia_wear'), value = 'mafia_wear'}
  }

Result :

  local elements = {
    {label = _U('citizen_wear'), value = 'citizen_wear'},
    {label = _U('mafia_wear'), value = 'mafia_wear'},
    {label = "Warehouse Management", value = 'mafia_warehousemenu'}
  }

Then navigate to the next step.

Calling the Warehouse Menu

Beneath the following code :

    ESX.UI.Menu.Open(
      'default', GetCurrentResourceName(), 'cloakroom',
      {
        title    = _U('cloakroom'),
        align    = 'top-left',
        elements = elements,
        },
        function(data, menu)
      menu.close()

You will find multiple IF/END or IF/ELSE/END statements. Simply insert a new IF/END statement.

Before :

   ESX.UI.Menu.Open(
      'default', GetCurrentResourceName(), 'cloakroom',
      {
        title    = _U('cloakroom'),
        align    = 'top-left',
        elements = elements,
        },
        function(data, menu)
      menu.close()
      --Taken from SuperCoolNinja
      if data.current.value == 'citizen_wear' then
        ESX.TriggerServerCallback('esx_skin:getPlayerSkin', function(skin, jobSkin)
          local model = nil
          if skin.sex == 0 then
            model = GetHashKey("mp_m_freemode_01")
          else
            model = GetHashKey("mp_f_freemode_01")
          end
          RequestModel(model)
          while not HasModelLoaded(model) do
            RequestModel(model)
            Citizen.Wait(1)
          end
          SetPlayerModel(PlayerId(), model)
          SetModelAsNoLongerNeeded(model)
          TriggerEvent('skinchanger:loadSkin', skin)
          TriggerEvent('esx:restoreLoadout')
        end)
      end
      if data.current.value == 'mafia_wear' then
        ESX.TriggerServerCallback('esx_skin:getPlayerSkin', function(skin, jobSkin)
          if skin.sex == 0 then
            TriggerEvent('skinchanger:loadClothes', skin, jobSkin.skin_male)
          else
            TriggerEvent('skinchanger:loadClothes', skin, jobSkin.skin_female)
          end
        end)
      end

After :

   ESX.UI.Menu.Open(
      'default', GetCurrentResourceName(), 'cloakroom',
      {
        title    = _U('cloakroom'),
        align    = 'top-left',
        elements = elements,
        },
        function(data, menu)
      menu.close()
      -- ADD HERE
      if data.current.value == 'warehouse_menu' then
        exports["esx_illegalWarehouses"]:OpenWarehousesMenu()
      end
      -- ADD HERE
      --Taken from SuperCoolNinja
      if data.current.value == 'citizen_wear' then
        ESX.TriggerServerCallback('esx_skin:getPlayerSkin', function(skin, jobSkin)
          local model = nil
          if skin.sex == 0 then
            model = GetHashKey("mp_m_freemode_01")
          else
            model = GetHashKey("mp_f_freemode_01")
          end
          RequestModel(model)
          while not HasModelLoaded(model) do
            RequestModel(model)
            Citizen.Wait(1)
          end
          SetPlayerModel(PlayerId(), model)
          SetModelAsNoLongerNeeded(model)
          TriggerEvent('skinchanger:loadSkin', skin)
          TriggerEvent('esx:restoreLoadout')
        end)
      end
      if data.current.value == 'mafia_wear' then
        ESX.TriggerServerCallback('esx_skin:getPlayerSkin', function(skin, jobSkin)
          if skin.sex == 0 then
            TriggerEvent('skinchanger:loadClothes', skin, jobSkin.skin_male)
          else
            TriggerEvent('skinchanger:loadClothes', skin, jobSkin.skin_female)
          end
        end)
      end

Simply upload your freshly modified main.lua file to your client folder and restart the script !
