Description

Hair and beard length accrue over real playtime, tracked server-side, and a player must visit a barber to trim back to a chosen length. It turns appearance into an ongoing mechanic and gives barbers a built-in re-engagement loop — a novel immersion play servers can charge a premium for.

Prompt Template

Write a FiveM Lua resource where hair/beard grow over real playtime and reset at a barber, targeting <esx|qbcore|qbox via its exports (never hardcode the framework global).

Known Failure Modes & Corrective Prompt

  • Client-ticked timers let players freeze/fast-forward growth; accrue on the server.
  • The trim anim plays before the dict loads, T-posing the barber ped.
  • Re-applying overlays without re-reading server state desyncs length on reconnect.

Corrective re-prompt: "Players are freezing their beard length and the barber T-poses. Accrue growth from real session time on the server, persist and broadcast it, re-read it on spawn, and load RequestAnimDict before the trim anim. Return corrected client.lua and server.lua."

Framework Integration

  • ESX: accrue against xPlayer.identifier and persist length on the player record server-side.
  • QBCore: store length on Player.PlayerData.metadata.hairGrowth and re-apply via exports['qb-clothing'].
  • QBox: resolve exports.qbx_core:GetPlayer(src) and persist growth in qbx player metadata.

Profit Potential

$250–$3500/mo on Tebex (expected ~$920). [INFERRED] priced in the $50-389 script band against the signal-scraper tebex_snapshot corpus (median seller $11.85K/mo, n=100), scaled for a rising immersion niche.

Trend Signal

↗ rising — strategy: Real-time hair/beard growth needing trims is a novel immersion mechanic that creates a barber re-engagement loop.

Sales Angle

Position as the immersion mechanic that makes barbers a recurring destination. Recommended Tebex price $149.
