Interaction Prompt (Press E) Marker

Draws world markers at points of interest, shows a Press E help prompt in range, and fires a named event on the key press.

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

The classic Press E interaction primitive: a list of world points each draws a marker, and when the player walks into range a "Press INPUT_CONTEXT" help prompt appears; pressing E fires a named event for that point. The loop sleeps when far away and only runs per-frame when a marker is nearby, keeping it cheap.

Known Failure Modes

  • Always-hot loop — set sleep = 0 only when a marker is nearby; otherwise Wait(1000).
  • Hardcoded key — use IsControlJustReleased(0, 38) (INPUT_CONTEXT), not a raw key char, so rebinds and controllers work.
  • Draw outside the frame loop — DrawMarker/help-text natives must be called every frame to stay on screen.
  • Wrong distance math — use #(coordsA - coordsB) for the magnitude.

Integration Notes

  • Place in client/client.lua; declare a single client_script in fxmanifest.lua (no ui_page required).
  • No framework dependency; wire each point's event to your shop / job logic.
  • Test on a dev server: teleport to a point's coords, confirm the marker draws, the prompt shows in range, and pressing E triggers the event.

Profit Potential

$100–$1200/mo on Tebex (expected ~$300). [INFERRED] low-to-mid of the $50-389 band (tebex_snapshot, median seller $11.85K/mo, n=100); a Press-E interaction primitive is foundational but heavily cloned (ox_target et al.), capping ticket size.

Trend Signal

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

Sales Angle

Position as the foundational Press-E marker primitive every shop and job wires into. Recommend $59 on Tebex.
