Free RedM Admin Blips Script Admin Blips

A free RedM admin blips script for VORP Core, RSG Core and QBCore RedM: staff see every player on the map, live, labelled with server ID and character name. Only admins see the blips, and each admin can hide them with /ahb.

What staff get

• A blip for every player who has loaded a character and spawned, labelled {id} | {name} by default.
• Blips start visible when an admin joins; /ahb shows or hides them on that admin's own map.
• Your own blip is hidden from you (Config.HIDE_OWN_BLIP).
• Players never see the blips or know they are there.

How the blips move

The default method is hybrid:

• A player near the admin gets a blip attached to their character, which the game moves every frame at no network cost.
• A player out of streaming range gets a blip placed from server positions, sent every 2000 ms by default and gliding between updates.
• A twice-a-second check swaps each blip between the two as players come and go.
• Config.METHOD = "coords" moves every blip from server positions instead.

Who can see the blips

• Players in a group listed in Config.ADMIN_GROUPS (admin and superadmin by default). Case does not matter.
• Groups are read through poggy_core: character groups on VORP Core, ACE permission levels on RSG Core and QBCore RedM.
• Optional Config.ALLOWED_NAMES: when it has names, only those players get blips, and they must also be in an admin group. Names are exact Steam or RedM display names, case-sensitive.
• No ACE permissions to set.

Commands

The /abtest name is set by Config.TEST_COMMAND; false removes it.

Settings you will change first

• Config.ADMIN_GROUPS: add a group such as moderator.
• Config.BLIP_MODIFIER: the colour, BLIP_MODIFIER_DEBUG_GREEN by default (red, blue and yellow also work).
• Config.BLIP_SPRITE: the icon, blip_ambient_companion by default.
• Config.BLIP_NAME_FORMAT: the label, using {id} and {name}.
• Config.UPDATE_INTERVAL_MS: 2000. With coords, 500 is smoother.
• Config.INIT_WAIT_TIME: raise it if characters load slowly and admins get no blips.

Every setting can also be changed in game with /poggy. The RedM admin tools guide covers using it responsibly.

What you need to run it

• poggy_core 0.13.0 or newer (free), started first.
• VORP Core, RSG Core or QBCore RedM.
• No database and nothing to import.
• config.lua is open; the client and server scripts are escrowed.

Updates

poggy_core installs new versions from the Poggy update feed and merges your config.lua, keeping your values and backing up the original.
