¶ HOW TO PLAY
¶ Commands
/fishing - opens the fishing menu
¶ Menu Options
START FISHING - If you are near water and facing it, you will start fishing. You are frozen in place while fishing. You will see a prompt to STOP FISHING while you are. Stopping drops the pole and gives you the option to pickup your cooler. The cooler is only for RP purposes and serves no real purpose other than carrying it around and putting it in the car/truck. If you put it in the car/truck it will disappear. If you walk away from it, it will disappear. When it does, your fish that you caught will still be in your "inventory" and will not go away with the cooler.
SHOW MAP - Shows a map of all the fishing areas in the state. The ocean is not listed as an area but obviously is capable of fishing.
SHOW CATCHES - Show the inventory of fish catches. When you are near the game merchants, the price they are offering to pay for them will also show here. When near a merchant you click on the price and it will sell it to them.
SET/RELEASE ANCHOR - If you are on a boat you can use the anchor to hold the boat still in the water.
¶ Game Play
While fishing, there is a timer cycle of random times and a chance of catching something during that cycle. You might catch something quickly, or it might take a little bit. What you catch is also randomly generated and can sometimes be something illegal or something that isn't a fish. When you do catch a fish, your will get options to KEEP or RELEASE the fish. If you keep it then it goes into the cooler (your inventory) and if you release it then it goes back into the water.
There are merchants around the map that can buy your catches from you. Get near them, open the catches menu and click the price to sell it to them.
For more info, watch the demo video.
¶ MONEY
There is a server.lua file for customizing money functions. It comes preset with integrations for BigDaddy-Money, ESX, QB-CORE, ND, NAT. You can add your own customization for any framework just based on the ones already there.
¶ EXPORTS
There are also two exports in the server.lua for inventory if you wanted to integrate catches into your framework. When you catch a fish or sell a fish it adds and removes those items accordingly and the script will call those exports for those circumstances. You can add whatever code you need in those exports to talk to your framework and add/remove items as needed. Setting up your framework's inventory with those items is completely up to you and don't ask me how or what to do because I don't have that information for you. I just created the ability to send data to your framework when those events happen.
