Emergency Buttons (10-13A / 10-13B)

Two panic buttons for on-duty police, EMS and fire. Press one and every on-duty emergency unit gets a flashing blip on your position, an alert sound and a notification. They work whether you are standing, downed or dead.

🔘 The two codes

Code	Meaning	What responders get
10-13A	Unit needs urgent help	Red flashing blip, a loud repeating alarm, a red notification
10-13B	Unit needs help, not urgent	Orange flashing blip, a single tone, an orange notification

The notification shows the unit's name, their department and the street they are on, for example John Smith (LSPD) at Alta St.

The alert is always placed where the unit really is. The person who pressed the button does not get the alert themselves, only a "sent" confirmation.

🎮 How to send one

Way	10-13A	10-13B
Radial menu	Emergency → 10-13A Urgent backup	Emergency → 10-13B Non-urgent backup
Chat command	`/1013a`	`/1013b`
Keybind	unbound	unbound

The Emergency radial sub-menu only shows for on-duty police, EMS and fire. Players can bind both buttons in GTA Settings → Key Bindings → FiveM (look for Emergency: 10-13A and Emergency: 10-13B).

While downed or dead, use the command or a keybind. Some radial menus do not open while you are down.

👮 Who can use it and who receives it

The same players send and receive:

Police: every job in Config.PoliceJobs
EMS: every EMS job you set up in /emsadmin → Jobs
Fire: every job in Config.Panic.fireJobs (fire by default)
Anything else: every job in Config.Panic.extraJobs

They must be on duty, unless Config.RequireDuty = false. Each player can send one alert every 30 seconds (Config.Panic.cooldown).

📡 Dispatch scripts

With Config.Panic.external = true, the alert is also sent to your dispatch script with the code 10-13A or 10-13B and every responder job listed above. It works with the same dispatch scripts as distress calls: kartik-mdt, lb-tablet, ps-dispatch, cd_dispatch, qs-dispatch, core_dispatch, rcore_dispatch and tk_dispatch. In kartik-mdt a 10-13A shows as a panic call.

Set it to false if you only want the built-in blip, sound and notification.

⚙️ Configuration

In shared/config/dispatch.lua:

Config.Panic = {
    enabled = true,
    fireJobs = { 'fire' },
    extraJobs = {},
    cooldown = 30,
    radial = true,
    external = true,
    commands = { urgent = '1013a', routine = '1013b' },
    keybinds = { urgent = '', routine = '' },
    urgent = {
        code = '10-13A',
        blip = { sprite = 161, color = 1, scale = 1.4, duration = 180 },
        sound = { name = 'Beep_Red', set = 'DLC_HEIST_HACKING_SNAKE_SOUNDS', repeats = 4 },
    },
    routine = {
        code = '10-13B',
        blip = { sprite = 161, color = 47, scale = 1.1, duration = 180 },
        sound = { name = 'TIMER_STOP', set = 'HUD_MINI_GAME_SOUNDSET', repeats = 1 },
    },
}

Option
`enabled`	Turn the whole feature on or off
`fireJobs`	Your fire department job names
`extraJobs`	Any other job names that should send and receive the alerts (for example a ranger or DOJ job)
`cooldown`	Seconds between alerts from the same player
`radial`	Show the Emergency sub-menu in the radial menu
`external`	Also send the alert to your dispatch script
`commands`	Chat command names. Set one to `false` to remove it
`keybinds`	Default keys, for example `'F9'`. Leave empty so players bind their own
`code`	The code shown everywhere, change it to match your server's radio codes
`blip`	Blip `sprite`, `color`, `scale` and how long it stays in seconds (`duration`)
`sound`	A GTA frontend sound `name` and `set`, and how many times it plays (`repeats`)

🔌 For developers

Every alert also fires a server event you can listen to, for example to log it to Discord or your own CAD:

AddEventHandler('kartik-ambulancejob:server:panic', function(source, data)
    -- data.kind   'urgent' or 'routine'
    -- data.code   '10-13A' or '10-13B'
    -- data.job    the sender's job name
    -- data.coords where the sender is
    print(('%s sent %s'):format(GetPlayerName(source), data.code))
end)

The event only fires on the server, after the sender's job, duty and cooldown have been checked. See Events & State Bags.
