How to use Key Mapping

Page dedicated how key mapping works in FiveM

🎮 Keybinding System & Customization

We’ve implemented native RegisterKeyMapping support in our scripts to boost performance and eliminate the need for constant while loops monitoring key inputs. Thanks to this, key detection is now event-based, making the resource significantly more efficient.

With this system:

• Keybinds are assigned to specific chat commands.

• The associated actions are only triggered when the defined key is pressed.

• Players can fully customize their keybinds through the in-game menu: GTA V > Settings > Key Bindings > FiveM

🔧 How to Update or Unbind a Key

After first launching the script on your server, any changes to keybinds in config.lua won’t apply to players who have already joined. Only new players will receive the updated keybinds automatically.

If a player wants to reset or unbind the key manually, there are two options:

Option 1 – via F8 Console:

unbind keyboardinput_parameter

Option 2 – via File Cleanup:

1. Go to: C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\CitizenFX

2. Open the fivem.cfg file.

3. Remove any lines related to the keybind for this script.

4. Restart FiveM. → The keybind will now reset to the default value set in config.lua.
