How to execute commands

The ExecuteCommand() function lets you run any FiveM command directly from a script. It’s useful for automating tasks or triggering commands programmatically.

---

How It Works

Simply call the function with the command you want to execute as a string:

1

Run a Chat Command

This sends "Hello, world!" to the chat.

ExecuteCommand("say Hello, world!")

2

Trigger a Custom Command

This runs a custom /heal command for player ID 1.

ExecuteCommand("heal 1")

3

Create a Shortcut Command

This makes a /healMe command that heals the player who uses it.

RegisterCommand("healMe", function()
    ExecuteCommand("heal " .. GetPlayerServerId(PlayerId()))
end, false)

That’s it! ExecuteCommand is a simple and powerful way to run commands directly from your scripts.
