Jewelry Store Smash & Grab — Cops Alert

Description

A QBCore smash-and-grab: the thief breaks several jewelry display cases for loot, and the first hit trips a silent alarm that drops a flashing blip on every on-duty cop's map. It is the classic loud, time-pressured heist that turns a robbery into a police chase.

Prompt Template

You are writing a FiveM resource for qb-core. Produce TWO files (client.lua +
server.lua) for a jewelry store smash-and-grab with a police alert.

Framework: QBCore via exports['qb-core']:GetCoreObject().

Client:
- A Cases table of display-case coords [CASE_COORDS]. Track a `looted` table and a
  one-shot `alarmRaised` flag.
- When within 1.5m of an un-looted case and the player presses E (control 38), play
  'mp_smash_window'/'window_smash' (RequestAnimDict + `while not HasAnimDictLoaded`),
  mark it looted, and TriggerServerEvent('jewelry:grabLoot', idx).
- On the FIRST grab only, TriggerServerEvent('jewelry:raiseAlarm', GetEntityCoords(ped)).
- RegisterNetEvent('jewelry:copBlip') to AddBlipForCoord, SetBlipFlashes(true), then
  Wait(30000) and RemoveBlip.

Server:
- jewelry:raiseAlarm iterates QBCore.Functions.GetPlayers(), and for each whose
  PlayerData.job.name == 'police' TriggerClientEvent('jewelry:copBlip', pid, loc).
- jewelry:grabLoot validates the player, then Player.Functions.AddItem('rolex',1) and
  AddMoney('cash', [LOOT_PER_CASE]).

Use PlayerPedId(), never GetPlayerPed(-1). Police filtering and loot are server-side.
Return only Lua, separated by "-- ===== client.lua =====" / "-- ===== server.lua =====".

Expected Output

The reference Lua lives at content/expected-outputs/heists/02-jewelry-smash-grab-cops.lua. It implements the per-case smash loop with a one-shot alarm, a server fan-out that blips only on-duty police, and server-side loot grants. The fxmanifest splits it into a client_script (cases, smash, blip) and a server_script (alarm fan-out, loot).

-- Resource: jewelry-smash-grab (QBCore)
-- Smash display cases for loot; first grab triggers a silent alarm that dispatches cops.
-- client.lua handles target cases + smash anim; server.lua pays loot and alerts police.

Known Failure Modes

• Client-side cop alert — Claude scans nearby players locally; instead fan out on the server filtered by job.name == 'police'.
• Spoofable loot — granting items client-side is exploitable; use Player.Functions.AddItem / AddMoney on the server only.
• Permanent blips — a blip that is never removed clutters the map; Wait(30000) then RemoveBlip.
• Repeating alarm — re-raising the alarm on every case spams cops; guard with a one-shot alarmRaised flag.

Integration Notes

• Split the banners into client.lua and server.lua; list both in fxmanifest.lua.
• Requires qb-core started first and a rolex item defined in your shared/items.lua.
• Test on a dev server with two clients (one set to police): smash a case as the thief and confirm only the on-duty cop receives the flashing blip and it disappears after 30s.

Profit Potential

$400–$6000/mo on Tebex (expected ~$1500). [INFERRED] priced inside the $50-389 FiveM script band against a hot heist niche; corpus median seller $11.85K/mo (signal-scraper tebex_snapshot n=100), scaled for an intermediate single-resource heist.

Trend Signal

🔥 hot — [INFERRED] multi-stage heists are flagship endgame content servers pay up for.

Sales Angle

Sell as the loud, time-pressured set-piece that turns a robbery into a police chase — the server-side on-duty cop fan-out is the hook. Recommended Tebex price $189.
