Exports

Show the text UI. Calling Show while it is open replaces the text and restarts the timer.

Parameter	Type	Description
`text`	`string`	Text to display. Each `[KEY]` starts a new row with an orange key badge. Use `\n` for new lines.
`duration`	`number`	Time in milliseconds before it hides. `0` or `nil` keeps it open until `Hide` is called. Above `0`, an orange timer bar shows the remaining time.
`key`	`string`	Optional. Shows a key badge, such as `'E'`. Omit it for text only.

Lua

exports.sbtextui:Show('Open VIP shop', 0, 'E')
exports.sbtextui:Show('[E] Open garage [G] Store vehicle')

Hide the text UI.

Lua

exports.sbtextui:Hide()

Returns true if the text UI is currently showing, otherwise false.

Lua

if exports.sbtextui:IsOpen() then
    exports.sbtextui:Hide()
end

Use these from the server when your workflow already uses TriggerClientEvent.

Lua

TriggerClientEvent('sbtextui:show', src, text, duration, key)
TriggerClientEvent('sbtextui:hide', src)

Event	Parameters	Description
`sbtextui:show`	`src`, `text`, `duration`, `key`	Same as `Show`, sent to one player.
`sbtextui:hide`	`src`	Same as `Hide`, sent to one player.

Lua

TriggerClientEvent('sbtextui:show', src, 'Open VIP shop', 0, 'E')
