Item Use Effect API

The dream_vending script uses a centralized system (DreamCore.Items) to define how items affect the player when used. This API enables you to easily assign effects to items such as healing, animations, or visual effects like drunkenness.

🔧 Usage

To make an item usable with effects, define it in the DreamCore.Items table with a use function:

DreamCore.Items = {
  ['mocha'] = { -- This is the item name as defined in your items system (e.g., mocha, water, burger)
    use = function(playerId)
      TriggerClientEvent('dream_vending:client:ApplyItemEffects', playerId, {
        -- Effects are passed as a list (array) of tables.
        { type = 'addArmor', amount = 2 }, -- Player will first get 2 armor
        { type = 'drinkAnim', prop = 'ng_proc_coffee_01a' } -- After the armor he drink
      })
    end
  },
  
  -- Add more items ;)
}

💡 Note: If another script manages the item, simply don’t include it in DreamCore.Items.

💡 Tips

• You can stack multiple effects in a single item.
• Try to stay realistic: a whiskey contains more alcohol than just a piña colada.
• Use props that exist in GTA V (e.g., prop_ecola_can, ng_proc_coffee_01a, etc.).
• Want custom effects? Add new effectType handling to the ApplyItemEffects event (You need to buy the source version).
