Manually change states of status indicators

You can change the states of individual status indicators.
This is useful if you want to indicate certain YES or NO states for players.

This guide will show you how to change the state of house_robbery status indicator, but it works the same for all indicators.

Requirements

ability to write your own custom logic for controlling the states

Configuration

You need to find the status indicator ID. This can be found in the config.lua file.
Each status indicator needs to have a unique ID so you can identify it.

config.lua

statusIndicators = {
    {
        id = 'house_robbery',
        label = 'House robbery',
        icon = 'mdi:house',
        defaultState = true,
    },
},

Steps

Create a custom server resource

The state can be only changed from server-side resources.
Create a new resource (or use an existing one) and add the following custom logic to it’s server-side file.

Use the `setIndicatorState` export

server.lua

exports.ac_scoreboard:setIndicatorState('house_robbery', true)
 
-- or use non-networked server event
TriggerEvent('ac_scoreboard:setIndicatorState', 'house_robbery', true)

The first argument is the indicator ID from config.lua.
The second argument is a boolean value that sets the corresponding state.

Test it

Run your custom logic and see how the indicator state changes.
All indicator changes take effect immediately after reopening the scoreboard.

In case it’s not working, read this whole page again from the beginning and check if you missed something.
