Minimap Zone Names on Enter

Shows the area and street name as a fading banner only when the player crosses into a new zone, with a native ticker fallback.

Description

A zone-name banner that fires the moment the player crosses into a new area of the map — the GTA-style fading region/street name. It resolves the zone hash to a readable label with GetLabelText and the street hash with GetStreetNameFromHashKey, only pushing to NUI when the zone or street actually changes, and includes a native ticker fallback if NUI is off.

Known Failure Modes

  • UI spam — pushing every loop tick floods the banner; only emit on a zone or street change.
  • Raw zone hash — GetNameOfZone returns a code; GetLabelText turns it into a readable name.
  • Raw street hashes — resolve them with GetStreetNameFromHashKey before display.
  • Too-tight loop — Wait(0) here is wasteful; Wait(1000) is plenty for zone detection.

Integration Notes

  • Place in client/client.lua; declare a client_script plus ui_page and files {} in fxmanifest.lua.
  • No framework dependency.
  • Test on a dev server: drive across district lines (e.g. into Vinewood) and confirm the banner appears once per new zone, not continuously.

Profit Potential

$100–$1200/mo on Tebex (expected ~$300). [INFERRED] low end of the $50-389 band (tebex_snapshot, median seller $11.85K/mo, n=100); zone-name banners are light immersion polish — low ticket, easy bundle add-on.

Trend Signal

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

Sales Angle

Sell as lightweight immersion polish that bundles with HUD and minimap packs. Recommend $50 on Tebex.
