Items Setup
Last updated on
To use the crafting system, you need to register the required items in your inventory system. This includes the crafting bench placement items, upgrade items, and any materials/recipes you've configured.
Default Items
The resource includes example item definitions in setup_inv_items.lua for reference. You'll need to add these items to your inventory system.
ox_inventory Items
Add these items to your ox_inventory/data/items.lua file:
Crafting Bench
['crafting_bench'] = {
label = 'Crafting Bench',
consume = 0,
weight = 100,
stack = false,
close = false,
client = {
export = "sleepless_crafting.placeCraftStation",
}
},The client.export property automatically calls the placement function when the item is used. This is required for placing crafting stations.
Upgrade Items
['bench_upgrade_2'] = {
label = 'Crafting Bench Upgrade Tier 2',
weight = 50,
stack = false,
close = false,
},
['bench_upgrade_3'] = {
label = 'Crafting Bench Upgrade Tier 3',
weight = 75,
stack = false,
close = false,
},
['bench_upgrade_4'] = {
label = 'Crafting Bench Upgrade Tier 4',
weight = 100,
stack = false,
close = false,
},qb-inventory Items
Add these items to your qb-core/shared/items.lua file:
Crafting Bench
crafting_bench = {
name = 'crafting_bench',
label = 'Crafting Bench',
weight = 100,
type = 'item',
image = 'crafting_bench.png',
unique = true,
useable = true,
shouldClose = true,
description = 'A Useable Crafting Bench'
},Upgrade Items
bench_upgrade_2 = {
name = 'bench_upgrade_2',
label = 'Crafting Bench Upgrade Tier 2',
weight = 50,
type = 'item',
image = 'bench_upgrade_2.png',
unique = false,
useable = false,
shouldClose = false,
description = 'Upgrade your crafting bench to tier 2.'
},
bench_upgrade_3 = {
name = 'bench_upgrade_3',
label = 'Crafting Bench Upgrade Tier 3',
weight = 75,
type = 'item',
image = 'bench_upgrade_3.png',
unique = false,
useable = false,
shouldClose = false,
description = 'Upgrade your crafting bench to tier 3.'
},
bench_upgrade_4 = {
name = 'bench_upgrade_4',
label = 'Crafting Bench Upgrade Tier 4',
weight = 100,
type = 'item',
image = 'bench_upgrade_4.png',
unique = false,
useable = false,
shouldClose = false,
description = 'Upgrade your crafting bench to tier 4.'
},Custom Station Types
If you create additional station types in stationTypes.lua, you'll need to create corresponding items for each one.
For example, if you add a cooking station type:
["cooking"] = {
placeItem = 'cooking_station',
-- ... rest of config
}You'll need to add the cooking_station item:
['cooking_station'] = {
label = 'Cooking Station',
consume = 0,
weight = 150,
stack = false,
close = false,
client = {
export = "sleepless_crafting.placeCraftStation",
}
},cooking_station = {
name = 'cooking_station',
label = 'Cooking Station',
weight = 150,
type = 'item',
image = 'cooking_station.png',
unique = true,
useable = true,
shouldClose = true,
description = 'A portable cooking station'
},Recipe Materials
Don't forget to also register all the materials and output items used in your recipes. For example, if your recipe requires scrapcloth and vodka to craft a bandage:
['scrapcloth'] = {
label = 'Scrap Cloth',
weight = 10,
},
['vodka'] = {
label = 'Vodka',
weight = 50,
},
['bandage'] = {
label = 'Bandage',
weight = 20,
},scrapcloth = {
name = 'scrapcloth',
label = 'Scrap Cloth',
weight = 10,
type = 'item',
image = 'scrapcloth.png',
unique = false,
useable = false,
shouldClose = false,
description = 'A piece of scrap cloth'
},
vodka = {
name = 'vodka',
label = 'Vodka',
weight = 50,
type = 'item',
image = 'vodka.png',
unique = false,
useable = true,
shouldClose = true,
description = 'A bottle of vodka'
},
bandage = {
name = 'bandage',
label = 'Bandage',
weight = 20,
type = 'item',
image = 'bandage.png',
unique = false,
useable = true,
shouldClose = true,
description = 'A bandage for treating wounds'
},Item Images
You'll need to add images for your items to your inventory's image folder:
- ox_inventory:
ox_inventory/web/images/ - qb-inventory:
qb-inventory/html/images/
For best results, use PNG images with a transparent background. The recommended size is 100x100 pixels.
