A server-authoritative stress meter HUD that drives escalating gameplay-cam shake and a timecycle blur as stress rises.

Description

A stress meter HUD whose value is owned by the server and streamed to the client, which renders escalating gameplay-cam shake and a timecycle blur as stress climbs past a threshold. Stress is a QBCore-ecosystem immersion staple (there is no native ESX stress), and the screen-effect feedback is what makes it feel visceral rather than a number in a corner.

Known Failure Modes & Corrective Prompt

  • Client-owned stress — local-only tracking is trivially reset by the player.
  • Stuck blur/shake — never calling StopGameplayCamShaking/ClearTimecycleModifier leaves a permanent effect.
  • Unclamped value — adding past 100 or below 0 breaks the meter and intensity math.

Corrective re-prompt: "Make the server the only authority for stress: clamp to 0-100 in setStress and stream it via stress:update. In the client, when stress drops below the threshold always call StopGameplayCamShaking(true) and ClearTimecycleModifier() so the blur and shake fully clear."

Framework Integration

  • ESX: no native stress; back the value with a metadata column (xPlayer.set('stress', v)) if you port it.
  • QBCore: mirror to Player.Functions.SetMetaData('stress', v) so other HUDs read it.
  • QBox: use exports.qbx_core player metadata; trigger AddStress from jobs (e.g., heavy labour, shooting).

Profit Potential

$250–$3500/mo on Tebex (expected ~$900). [INFERRED] priced inside the $50-389 script band against a corpus whose median seller clears $11.85K/mo (signal-scraper tebex_snapshot, n=100); a rising immersion niche in the QB/qbox ecosystem.

Trend Signal

rising — inferred: Stress is a QBCore-ecosystem mechanic (no native ESX stress); screen-effect HUDs rising with QB/qbox immersion servers.

Sales Angle

The immersion-layer stress system that other scripts plug into via one export. Lead with the shake+blur demo clip. Recommended Tebex price $129.
