How To Get FiveM Coordinates

Finding the exact coordinates in FiveM is essential for configuring spawn points, placing map objects, or customizing gameplay elements in your server. This tutorial will guide you through the process of obtaining in-game coordinates using a few straightforward methods.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following before proceeding:

• Access to your FiveM server (either localhost or live server)
• Admin privileges to use the in-game console
• Basic knowledge of installing resources if using custom scripts

Using the In-Game Console

1. Launch FiveM and Join Your Server:
   • Start FiveM and join the server where you want to get the coordinates.
2. Open the In-Game Console:
   • Press the ~ key (tilde) or F8 to open the in-game console.
3. Enable Coordinate Display:
   • Type the following command in the console to display your current coordinates: /coords
   • Press Enter. The coordinates should now appear on your screen, usually in the top-left or top-right corner.
4. Move to Desired Location:
   • Navigate to the in-game location where you need the coordinates.
5. Record Coordinates:
   • Note down the X, Y, and Z coordinates displayed on your screen for later use.

Using A Coordinate Display Resource

1. Download a Coordinate Display Script:
   • One popular script is vMenu which includes a coordinate display feature. Download it from the vMenu GitHub repository.
2. Install the Script on Your Server:
   • Navigate to your server’s resources folder.
   • Create a new folder named vMenu and place the downloaded files inside.
3. Edit server.cfg:
   • Open your server’s server.cfg file.
   • Add the following line to start the resource:start vMenu
   • Save the file.
4. Use the Script In-Game:
   • Restart your server.
   • Join the server and press the corresponding key to open the vMenu (usually M).
   • Navigate to the Misc Settings and enable coordinate display.
5. Record Coordinates:
   • Note down the coordinates displayed on your screen as you move to the desired location.

Extracting Coordinates from Map Editors

1. Use a Map Editor Tool:
   • Tools like Menyoo or Map Editor allow you to place objects in-game and retrieve their coordinates.
   • Download and install your chosen map editor.
2. Place Object at Desired Location:
   • Launch the map editor in-game.
   • Place an object or marker at the location where you want the coordinates.
3. Retrieve Coordinates:
   • Use the map editor’s interface to obtain the X, Y, and Z coordinates of the placed object.
4. Record Coordinates:
   • Note down the displayed coordinates for use in your server configuration or scripts.

Conclusion

By following this guide, you can easily get precise coordinates to enhance your server’s configurations and gameplay elements. Happy gaming!
