Scoreboard: Online Players + Ping

A hold-Tab scoreboard that asks the server for the live player list, server ids and ping, then renders it as a read-only NUI overlay.

NON-TESTÉ — the reference Lua is syntax-validated, not run in a live FiveM server. Adapt and test on your own dev server before shipping.

Description

A scoreboard that opens while the player holds Tab. The client requests a snapshot from the server, which enumerates every connected player with GetPlayers() and returns their server id, name and live ping plus the slot count. The client renders it as a read-only NUI overlay (no mouse focus) and closes on key release. Player counts are always server-authoritative.

Known Failure Modes

  • Client-side player list — the client only sees streamed peds; build the roster server-side with GetPlayers().
  • Focus lock on a read-only HUD — use SetNuiFocus(false,false); a scoreboard needs no mouse.
  • String ids — GetPlayers() returns strings; tonumber them before GetPlayerName/GetPlayerPing.
  • No hold bind — pair +/-scoreboard with RegisterKeyMapping so Tab actually opens it.

Integration Notes

  • Split into real client.lua and server.lua; list both plus the ui_page / files {} in fxmanifest.lua.
  • No framework dependency.
  • Test on a dev server with a second connected client (or a fake one): hold Tab, confirm both players appear with ids and a ping value that updates.

Profit Potential

$150–$2000/mo on Tebex (expected ~$500). [INFERRED] lower-mid of the $50-389 band (tebex_snapshot, median seller $11.85K/mo, n=100); scoreboards are universal but simple, so volume over ticket size.

Trend Signal

→ stable — [INFERRED] HUD/UI utilities are always-needed but commoditized.

Sales Angle

Position as a clean, server-authoritative Tab scoreboard with live ping that any framework can drop in. Recommend $59 on Tebex.
