Using the HUD

Type /hud to open the settings menu. Every change shows straight away and is saved automatically.

The menu has three parts:

Tabs along the top: General, Map & Location, Player Status, Vehicles, Weapon and Info & Voice. Close the menu with the ✕ on the right.
The page: on most tabs, a live preview sits on the left and the settings are on the right.
Footer at the bottom: Reset HUD on the left, Edit Layout on the right.

Tabs

Tab	What you can change
General	Theme, colour vision, HUD design, panel style (cards or floating), units, clock format and overall HUD scale. Advanced → Theme Colours changes any colour of the theme and its corner radius. Also Cinematic Mode and, for admins, the Admin section
Map & Location	Minimap shape and postal display (own panel or on the street line). When to show for the minimap, compass, street name, postal and waypoint: always, in a vehicle, on foot or never, with colours for the postal and waypoint. Waypoint marker on the compass. Minimap Frame
Player Status	Status style and icon shape. For each stat: always, when relevant or never, plus its colour. Statuses from other scripts are listed too, and Buffs & Effects (time left, buff names and which buffs to show)
Vehicles	A second row of tabs: Cars, Electric Cars, Motorcycles, Bicycles, Boats, Aircraft and Trains. See below
Weapon	Weapon style. It shows only while a weapon is out
Info & Voice	Server ID, clock, job, cash and bank. Server ID style (`#12`, `ID 12` or a badge), money format (`$1,250,000` or `$1.25M`) and icons instead of the cash / bank words. Mic style (range ring, range bars, pulse dot or minimal), character headshot, talking / range text and radio channel

Vehicles remembers the last vehicle tab you used.

Vehicle tab	What you can change
Cars	Speedometer style, speed limit sign and flashing when speeding, indicators & lights inside the dial, indicator sounds and seatbelt sounds. The seatbelt warning is a soft chime after 15 seconds unbuckled, then every 15 seconds
Electric Cars	The speedometer used in electric cars: one of the 8 EV styles, or "Same as car"
Motorcycles	"Same as car", Lean or any speedometer, and the helmet warning
Bicycles / Aircraft / Trains	The display used for each one
Boats	Helm or any speedometer, and speed in knots (Helm only)

🎨 Picking a style

Pages with a style (Player Status, every vehicle tab and Weapon) show it two ways:

The arrows under the preview step through the styles one by one.
The Style list on the right shows every style at once. Click one to pick it.

Both lists include the built-in styles and any custom designs the server has published, marked (custom).

Picking a custom design switches your HUD to it.
Picking a built-in style switches back to the built-in HUD.

You can also choose a design in General → HUD Design:

Choice
Server default	Whatever design the server has set as default (or the built-in HUD if none)
Built-in HUD	No custom design
A design name	That design

See all built-in styles in Styles.

Options the server has locked show a 🔒 and "Set by the server". See Configuration → Switchable options.

👁️ Colour vision

General → Colour Vision recolours player status, warnings, indicators and the waypoint in one click:

Preset	For
Default	The theme's own colours
Red-Green	Deuteranopia / protanopia
Blue-Yellow	Tritanopia
High Contrast	Bright, strongly separated colours

Every colour can still be changed afterwards (Player Status for stats, General → Advanced → Theme Colours for the theme). Reset colours to theme undoes your theme colour changes.

🗺️ Map, postal & waypoint

The postal shows the nearest postal code and how far away it is, on its own panel or at the end of the street name line.
The waypoint shows the distance to your map waypoint, and only appears while one is set. Its colour also recolours the GPS route and the waypoint blip.
Type /postal 7208 (or /p 7208) to set a waypoint on a postal, and /postal on its own to clear it.
Minimap Frame adds an outline (Off to 6 px, any colour) and a drop shadow or glow around the minimap. It sits outside the map, so the map itself is never covered. Open Edit Layout to see it on the map.

🛠️ Admin

Admins see an Admin section at the bottom of General:

HUD Builder → Open builder opens the HUD Builder.
Server Default → Save as default makes your current settings and layout the starting HUD for players who haven't customised theirs. Clear removes it. Config.Options locks still win.

↩️ Reset HUD

Click Reset HUD in the footer, then Yes, reset. Every setting, colour and the layout go back to the server default. Cancel keeps everything as it is.

✋ Edit Layout

Click Edit Layout in the /hud footer, or type /hudedit.

The whole screen becomes the editor, with a slim toolbar at the top.

Moving parts

Drag a part to move it.
Drag the L bracket on its bottom right corner to resize it (35% to 250%).
Hover a part to see its name tag with its size. Click the eye on the tag to hide or show it.
Click a part to select it. The tag stays open and also shows its position and a reset button that puts just that part back.
With a part selected, use the arrow keys to nudge it (Shift for bigger steps).
Click an empty spot to deselect.

The minimap follows its box exactly, wherever you put it.

Hover any toolbar button to see its name. The snap, safezone, anchor, hidden items and toolbar position choices are remembered.

If you opened Edit Layout from /hud, Done and Discard take you back to the menu.

🎬 Cinematic mode

Hides the HUD, the minimap and GTA's own HUD, perfect for screenshots, videos and roleplay scenes.

Type /cinematic to turn it on, and again to turn it off.
Or bind a key in GTA Settings → Key Bindings → FiveM → "HUD: Toggle cinematic mode".
Or press Start cinematic mode in /hud → General.

In /hud → General → Cinematic Mode you can turn the black bars (letterbox) on or off and choose their size.

Opening /hud or Edit Layout automatically leaves cinematic mode.

🚘 Vehicle controls

Open and close doors, the hood and trunk, roll windows up and down, switch seats and toggle the engine, right on your car.

Press F6 or type /vehcontrol while in a vehicle.
The camera rises above your car and looks straight down on it. Rings appear on every door, window, the hood, the trunk and each seat.
Click a ring to open or close that part. You see the real door swing open, and everyone around you sees it too.
Click a free seat to move into it (only while nearly stopped).
The bar at the bottom has All windows, the engine button and, on convertibles, the Roof.
Press Esc, F6 or the ✕ to go back.

	Driver	Passengers
Doors & windows	All of them	Their own (server can change this)
Hood & trunk	✅	Only if the server allows it
Engine & roof	✅	❌
Seats	✅	✅

The key can be changed in GTA Settings → Key Bindings → FiveM → "HUD: Vehicle controls", and the same key also closes the menu. It doesn't open on motorcycles, bicycles or trains.

🚗 Driving

Key
← / →	Left / right indicator, cancels itself after the turn
↑	Hazard lights
B	Seatbelt (built-in seatbelt only)
Y	Cruise control (built-in cruise control only)

All keys can be changed in GTA Settings → Key Bindings → FiveM. Sounds for indicators, the seatbelt warning and buckling can be turned off in /hud → Cars (helmet warning: Motorcycles).
