Coast Multicharacter

A cinematic FiveM multicharacter, scene and spawn selector for QBCore, Qbox and ESX. Characters live in staged scenes, an opening title sequence plays, admins build their own scenes with an in-game editor, and players land in the world with an aerial spawn and a wake-up animation.

Installation

Download

Get coast_multicharacter from portal.cfx.re → Granted Assets .

Start the resource after your framework

server.cfg


ensure oxmysql
ensure qb-core                 # or qbx_core / es_extended
ensure coast_appearance        # optional
ensure coast_multicharacter

Remove the old selector

Framework	What to do
QBCore	Stop `qb-multicharacter` and `qb-spawn`. This resource provides `qb-multicharacter`, so dependent scripts keep working.
Qbox	In `qbx_core/config/client.lua` set `characters.useExternalCharacters = true`. `qbx_spawn` is not needed.
ESX	Set `Config.Multichar = true` in `es_extended` and stop `esx_multicharacter`.

Give yourself admin

Type /whoami in game and copy the license:… line into Config.Admin.identifiers.

Restart

Database tables are created automatically on the first start — no SQL file to import.

Configuration

config.lua


Config.Locale = 'en'                  -- 'en' | 'tr' | 'fr' | 'de'
Config.Framework = 'auto'             -- 'auto' | 'qbx' | 'qb' | 'esx'
Config.Theme = { accent = '#FF4D5E' } -- one colour for the whole UI
 
Config.Slots = {
    default = 3,     -- slots everyone has
    max = 8,         -- highest reachable with extra slots
}
 
-- Resource names used for exports / events — only change if you renamed them
Config.Resources = {
    qbx = 'qbx_core', qb = 'qb-core', esx = 'es_extended',
    inventory = 'ox_inventory',
}
 
-- Your own notifications (e.g. ox_lib). nil = the framework's own
Config.Notify = { client = nil, server = nil }

Every option has a comment in config.lua. Optional convars: set coast_mc_discord_token "…" (Discord role slots) and set coast_mc_webhook "…" (logs) — always set, never setr.

FAQ

The script doesn’t start. Check the server console. “You lack the required entitlement” means the server key belongs to a different Cfx.re account than the one that bought the script.

I’m not admin in the scene editor. Run /whoami — it prints your identifiers and whether you have permission. Add the license: line to Config.Admin.identifiers.

Can I change the colours? Yes — Config.Theme.accent. See Theme colour.
