RedM Emote Menu Script Poggy Emotes

A RedM emote menu for VORP Core, RSG Core and QBCore RedM with over 330 emotes in eight categories, a search across all of them, favourites saved per character and a stand-in who acts each emote out first. Its Nearby tab lets players sit on the chair, stand at the bar or lean on the railing beside them.

What players can do

• Open the menu, or play one straight away with /e wave. Emote names are in the chat autocomplete.
• Start typing to search. The search looks in every category at once and matches both the shown name and the /e name.
• Props only narrows a category or a search to the emotes that put something in the character's hand.
• Press the play button in front of any emote to watch a stand-in act it out beside them, props and all. Only that player sees it.
• Star favourites, saved to the character. Recent keeps the last 12 played.
• Keep menu open lets them play several in a row; each player's choice is remembered.

The Nearby tab

• Lists what the player can do with the things around them: chairs, benches, bars, pianos, water pumps, stoves, campfires, railings.
• Pick one and the character walks over and uses the game's own scenario point the way an NPC would. Nothing is teleported.
• Config.Nearby.Keywords adds actions for props the game has no point for: lean on any barrel, knock on any door.
• Admins, or anyone with the ACE poggy_emotes.nearby.block, can switch off a broken action, at one spot or everywhere, from the menu.

Props that are put away

• Props go away on every way out: cancelling, dying, mounting, swimming, playing another emote, or the script restarting.
• That includes the props the game itself hands out, like the guitar and the bottle.
• Emotes end when the player walks off or draws a weapon (both settings).

Ragdoll key

• Z or /ragdoll drops the character limp; again gets them up.
• At least 2 seconds down and 3 seconds before dropping again, so it cannot be hammered to dodge a lasso. Both are settings.

Commands and keys

Command names and keys are set in config.lua.

Settings you will change first

• Config.CustomEmotes: your own scenarios, built-in emotes, or animations with a prop and its offsets. One with a shipped emote's name replaces it. Also on the Emotes tab in /poggy.
• Config.HiddenEmotes: removes an emote from the menu and from /e.
• Config.Menu.CategoryOrder: which categories show, and in what order.
• Config.Menu.FilterByGender: hides emotes built for the other gender.

What you need to run it

• VORP Core, RSG Core or QBCore RedM.
• poggy_core 0.27.0 or newer (free).
• oxmysql. The table is created on the first start, so there is no SQL to import.
• Coming from js_emotes: favourites carry over on the first start and the /e names stay the same.
• config.lua, translations.lua, the emote list in shared/emotes.lua and the SQL are open. The rest is protected by Cfx escrow.

Updates

poggy_core installs new versions and merges your config and translations, so your values, your own emotes and your hidden list survive.
