discussion Guide Fivem Displaying RP Name Instead of Steam Name in Inventory in FiveM

[CL4Y]

In FiveM role-playing servers, displaying RP (Role-Playing) names instead of Steam names in the inventory enhances the realism and immersion of the game. This guide will walk you through the steps to make this change.

Step 1: Prepare Necessary Resources and Files​

1. Locate Resource Files: Find the resource files that manage your inventory system. These are usually found in the resources folder.
2. Check Database for RP Names: RP names are typically stored in a database. Identify the table and column in your database where the players' RP names are stored.

Step 2: Make Code Changes​

1. Open Inventory Code: Open the file containing the inventory-related code. This file is typically named inventory.lua or something similar.
2. Add SQL Query to Fetch RP Name: Add an SQL query to fetch the RP names from the database. For example:
   
   local rpName = nil
   MySQL.Async.fetchAll('SELECT rp_name FROM users WHERE identifier = @identifier', {
   ['@identifier'] = GetPlayerIdentifiers(playerId)[1]
   }, function(result)
   if result[1] then
   rpName = result[1].rp_name
   end
   end)
3. Change Display Name in Inventory: Modify the code to display the RP name instead of the Steam name in the inventory. For example:
   
   local displayName = rpName or GetPlayerName(playerId)
4. Integrate into the Code: Place these changes in the section of the code where player names are fetched and displayed in the inventory.

Step 3: Test Changes​

1. Restart the Server: Restart your server to apply the changes.
2. Test: Connect to your server, open your inventory, and check if your RP name is displayed.

Displaying the RP name instead of the Steam name in the inventory on your FiveM server will enhance the role-playing experience and help players become more immersed in the game. By following the steps above, you can easily implement this change.
