Race Lobby & Grid Start

ESX/QB/QBox race lobby with ready-up, server-assigned grid spawn slots, frozen cars and a synchronized start countdown that unfreezes every entrant at GO.

Description

A race lobby with a grid start for ESX, QBCore or QBox: players create or join a lobby, get a server-assigned grid slot that teleports and freezes their car, ready up, and launch on a synchronized server-driven countdown. Servers sell this because a clean ready-up + grid + synced GO is the baseline every paid multiplayer race needs before any track logic exists.

Known Failure Modes & Corrective Prompt

  • Client-chosen slot — clients picking their own square collide on the grid; the server assigns and stores the slot index per source.
  • Per-client countdown — independent timers desync the GO; the server runs one countdown and broadcasts each tick.
  • One-sided net event — defining lobby:countdown on only one side means the unfreeze never lands; both sides use RegisterNetEvent + AddEventHandler.

Corrective re-prompt: "Assign players[src] = nextFreeSlot on the server, send each car to GRID[slot], and drive the 3-2-1-0 countdown from a single server SetTimeout chain broadcasting lobby:countdown — clients only render and unfreeze at n == 0."

Framework Integration

  • ESX: local ESX = exports['es_extended']:getSharedObject(); gate lobby join on xPlayer existing and optionally a buy-in via xPlayer.removeMoney.
  • QBCore: local QBCore = exports['qb-core']:GetCoreObject(); resolve entrants with QBCore.Functions.GetPlayer(src) for the roster.
  • QBox: use exports.qbx_core:GetPlayer(src) and the same server-assigned grid + countdown.

Profit Potential

$250–$3500/mo on Tebex (expected ~$900). [INFERRED] within the $50-389 script band against the signal-scraper tebex_snapshot corpus (n=100, median seller $11.85K/mo), set for a rising baseline-feature niche.

Trend Signal

↗ rising — inferred: [INFERRED] lobby + grid + countdown is expected baseline for paid multiplayer races; rising.

Sales Angle

Position as the multiplayer race backbone — ready-up, grid and synced start — that every race script needs before track logic. Recommended Tebex price $249.
