Spawn Selector V2

Modern Cinematic Spawn Selector for RedM (VORP)

---

Introduction

cas-spawnv2 is a modern, cinematic spawn selection system built for RedM servers running VORP. It replaces standard spawning with a stylish UI where players can choose from customized locations, each with its own background image, logo, description, and coordinates.

The script is plug-and-play, easy to configure, and fully automated with VORP’s character events.

---

Installation

1. Add the resource to your server:

cas-spawnv2

1. Add it to your server.cfg:

ensure cas-spawnv2

1. The UI will load automatically. No server-side configuration is required.

---

Configuration

All configuration is handled in:

config/client_config.lua

The sections below explain each setting in a simple and practical way.

---

Config.debug

Config.debug = true

• Enables developer/debug mode.

• Allows opening the spawn menu manually using a command.

• Recommended for development. Set to false for live servers.

---

Config.debugCommand

Config.debugCommand = "spawns"

The command used to open the spawn UI manually when debug mode is enabled.

Example:

/spawns

---

Config.onlyOnFirstLogin

Config.onlyOnFirstLogin = false

Controls when the spawn menu is shown:

• false → Show the spawn menu every time the player joins.

• true → Show only when the character is created for the first time.

The script integrates automatically with VORP events.

---

Config.LastLocationText

Config.LastLocationText = "The last place you walked before fading out..."

If the player has a saved location in VORP (last known coords), the script adds a Last Location card to the spawn UI.

This text is the description displayed on that card.

---

Config.locations

This table defines all spawn locations displayed in the UI.

Example:

Config.locations = {
    valentine = {
        useImage = false,
        backgroundImage = "valentinebg",
        coords = { x = -240.68, y = 740.66, z = 115.87, h = 90.0 },
        locationText = "A rough Heartlands town...",
        locationLogo = "valentinelogo"
    },
}

Below is a simple explanation of each field.

---

useImage

useImage = false

• false → The UI uses a cinematic camera orbit around the coordinates.

• true → A static background image is used instead (no camera movement).

---

backgroundImage

backgroundImage = "valentinebg"

• The background image shown behind the location card.

• Must match an image inside the UI assets (name only, no extension).

Used when:

• useImage = true, or

• As a decorative background while previewing locations.

---

coords

coords = { x = ..., y = ..., z = ..., h = ... }

The actual spawn position.

• x, y, z → world coordinates

• h → heading/player facing direction

The cinematic camera also orbits this position.

---

locationText

locationText = "Description of the area"

The description text shown on the location card.

---

locationLogo

locationLogo = "valentinelogo"

The logo/image shown on the card header.

---

How the Spawn Works (Simple Overview)

• When the player joins, the script checks whether the spawn UI should appear based on Config.onlyOnFirstLogin.

• The player is frozen, hidden, and made invincible.

• The spawn menu opens with all configured locations.

• If “Last Location” is available, it appears automatically.

• When the player selects a location:

  • The UI fades out

  • The player is teleported to the location

  • Heading is applied

  • The UI closes and the player resumes normal gameplay

Everything is fully automated—no extra setup is required.
