Description

An ESX fisherman job: /fish near water plays a casting animation, waits a random reel time, and grants a server-rolled weighted catch (common trout to rare shark). Bring the haul to the fish market and press E to sell every fish in inventory. A relaxed gather-and-sell economy loop.

Known Failure Modes

  • Fish on dry land, without a real GetWaterHeight check players fish anywhere. Require proximity to water before allowing a cast.
  • Client-side roll, rolling the catch client-side lets a cheater force the shark every time. Roll on the server.
  • Flat randomness, a plain math.random(#FISH_TABLE) makes rare fish as common as junk. Use a weighted cumulative roll.
  • No job gate, gate fisher:catch on job.name == "fisherman".

Integration Notes

  • Split the banners into client.lua and server.lua; list both in fxmanifest.lua.
  • Requires es_extended, a fisherman job, and the fish items registered in your inventory/items table.
  • Test on a dev server: set yourself to fisherman, stand by the docks, /fish a few times, then sell at the market and confirm the payout matches the catch.

Profit Potential

$400-$5500/mo on Tebex (expected ~$1400), priced inside the $50-389 script band against a corpus of comparable Tebex sellers (median ~$11.85K/mo), scaled for a hot job-systems niche at intermediate difficulty, fishing is a popular low-stress roster-filler.

Trend Signal

🔥 hot, custom FiveM job systems = niche-selection LAUNCH #1 (4.75).

Sales Angle

Position as the cozy-grind fishing job: a server-rolled weighted catch (junk to shark) and a market sale that totals every stack. A popular low-stress job that fills server rosters, list at $109.
