§ About Developing Stand Luas

Game Natives

This Stand Lua API that is described in this document is developed with the game's own scripting features in mind, which are at your fingertips with just a call to util.require_natives.

You can find a nice viewer for the game's native functions at nativedb.dotindustries.dev, which is powered by alloc8or's nativedb data.

Runtime Settings

We highly recommend using Stand > Lua Scripts > Settings > Presets > Developer and/or reviewing all the Lua runtime settings available to you, as they can help you write more polished and less buggy code.

Language

Stand uses Pluto which adds new features, improvements, and optimisations while being compatible with existing Lua code.

A language server and VS Code extension for Pluto is available at https://github.com/PlutoLang/pluto-language-server.

Bindings

Stand also provides Soup Lua Bindings.

§ Types

Label

A string or the return value of lang.register.

CommandAny

Not an actual type, but the base for CommandRef and CommandUniqPtr, which both support the following operations:

.menu_name — shorthand for menu.get_menu_name/menu.set_menu_name
.command_names — shorthand for menu.get_command_names/menu.set_command_names
.help_text — shorthand for menu.get_help_text/menu.set_help_text
.name_for_config — shorthand for menu.get_name_for_config/menu.set_name_for_config
:equals(CommandAny) — returns a boolean that indicates if this CommandAny refers to the same command as another CommandAny instance

CommandRef

A reference to a command in Stand. Supports all of CommandAny's operations as well as:

:isValid() — shorthand for menu.is_ref_valid
:refByRelPath() — shorthand for menu.ref_by_rel_path
:delete() — shorthand for menu.delete

CommandUniqPtr

Holds a detached command. Detached commands don't exist in the menu in any way, and are not usable via the command box.

Supports all of CommandAny's operations as well as:

:ref() — returns a CommandRef to the command

Vector3

A v3 instance or a table with x, y & z fields of type number.

Colour

A table with r, g, b & a fields of type number with values between 0.0 and 1.0.

Functions that take this as a parameter also support 4 floats instead of it, which is more performant.

§ Global Variables

SCRIPT_NAME

A string containing the name of your script (this excludes .lua).

SCRIPT_FILENAME

A string containing the name of your script file.

SCRIPT_RELPATH

A string containing the path to your script file from the Lua Scripts folder.

SCRIPT_MANUAL_START

A bool indicating if your script was started in direct response to a user action.

SCRIPT_SILENT_START

A bool indicating if a silent start of your script is desired.

SCRIPT_SILENT_STOP

A bool indicating if a silent stop of your script is desired.

SCRIPT_CAN_CONTINUE

A bool that remains true until your script is being stopped. You generally won't need to check against this as the runtime will handle the stop process, but in special situations like execute_in_os_thread, you might like to check against this to see if you want to continue with an expensive operation.

§ Menu Functions

CommandRef menu.my_root()

Returns a reference to the list that your script gets when it is started.

CommandRef menu.player_root(int player_id)

Returns a reference to the list that the given player owns.

CommandRef menu.shadow_root()

Using return value of this function to create a command produces a detached commmand (CommandUniqPtr) instead of a CommandRef.

CommandRef menu.ref_by_path(string path, ?int tree_version = nil)

Returns a reference to any command in Stand using a path such as Self>Immortality. Note that the path has to be in English (UK) and using the no-space greater-than separator.

Providing a tree version is optional but highly recommended for future-proofing. You can find this in any tree config file, such as your profile.

CommandRef menu.ref_by_rel_path(int base, string path)

CommandRef menu.ref_by_command_name(string command_name)

CommandRef|CommandUniqPtr menu.list(CommandRef parent, Label menu_name, table<any, string> command_names = {}, Label help_text = "", ?function on_click = nil, ?function on_back = nil, ?function on_active_list_update = nil)

CommandRef|CommandUniqPtr menu.action(CommandRef parent, Label menu_name, table<any, string> command_names, Label help_text, function on_click, ?function on_command = nil, ?string syntax = nil, int perm = COMMANDPERM_USERONLY)

perm may be any of:

COMMANDPERM_FRIENDLY
COMMANDPERM_NEUTRAL
COMMANDPERM_SPAWN
COMMANDPERM_RUDE
COMMANDPERM_AGGRESSIVE
COMMANDPERM_TOXIC
COMMANDPERM_USERONLY

Your on_click function will be called with click_type and effective_issuer. The click type could be any of:

CLICK_MENU
CLICK_COMMAND
CLICK_HOTKEY
CLICK_BULK
CLICK_AUTO
CLICK_SCRIPTED
CLICK_WEB
CLICK_WEB_COMMAND
CLICK_CHAT_ALL
CLICK_CHAT_TEAM

And could match any or neither of these bitflags:

CLICK_FLAG_AUTO
CLICK_FLAG_CHAT
CLICK_FLAG_WEB

Your on_command function will be called with the provided arguments, click_type, and effective_issuer. If on_command is not provided, commands will be redirected to on_click.

Your on_tick function will be called every tick that the toggle is checked; you should not call util.yield in this context.

CommandRef|CommandUniqPtr menu.slider(CommandRef parent, Label menu_name, table<any, string> command_names, Label help_text, int min_value, int max_value, int default_value, int step_size, function on_change)

CommandRef|CommandUniqPtr menu.slider_float(CommandRef parent, Label menu_name, table<any, string> command_names, Label help_text, int min_value, int max_value, int default_value, int step_size, function on_change)

Your on_change function will be called with value, prev_value and click_type.

Note that the float variant is practically identical except the last 2 digits are indicated to be numbers after the decimal point.

CommandRef|CommandUniqPtr menu.click_slider(CommandRef parent, Label menu_name, table<any, string> command_names, Label help_text, int min_value, int max_value, int default_value, int step_size, function on_click)

CommandRef|CommandUniqPtr menu.click_slider_float(CommandRef parent, Label menu_name, table<any, string> command_names, Label help_text, int min_value, int max_value, int default_value, int step_size, function on_click)

Your on_click function will be called with value and click_type.

Note that the float variant is practically identical except the last 2 digits are indicated to be numbers after the decimal point.

CommandRef|CommandUniqPtr menu.list_select(CommandRef parent, Label menu_name, table<any, string> command_names, Label help_text, table<int, table> options, int default_value, function on_change)

options must be table of list action item data or Label. List action item data is an index-based table that contains at least a Label (menu_name), and can optionally have command_names and help_text.

Your on_change function will be called with the option's index, the option's menu_name, and previous option's index, and click_type as parameters.

CommandRef|CommandUniqPtr menu.list_action(CommandRef parent, Label menu_name, table<any, string> command_names, Label help_text, table<int, table> options, function on_item_click)

Your on_item_click function will be called with the option's index, the option's menu_name, and click_type as parameters.

CommandRef|CommandUniqPtr menu.text_input(CommandRef parent, Label menu_name, table<any, string> command_names, Label help_text, function on_change, string default_value = "")

Your on_change function will be called with the string and click type.

CommandRef|CommandUniqPtr menu.colour(CommandRef parent, Label menu_name, table<any, string> command_names, Label help_text, Colour default, bool transparency, function on_change)

Your on_change function will be called with a Colour as parameter.

CommandRef|CommandUniqPtr menu.colour(CommandRef parent, Label menu_name, table<any, string> command_names, Label help_text, number default_r, number default_g, number default_b, number default_a, bool transparency, function on_change)

Your on_change function will be called with a Colour as parameter.

CommandRef|CommandUniqPtr menu.rainbow(CommandRef colour_command)

CommandRef|CommandUniqPtr menu.action_slider(CommandRef parent, Label menu_name, table<any, string> command_names, Label help_text, table<int, Label> options, function on_click)

We highly recommend using menu.list_action instead of this, unless the options are really unimportant.

Your on_click function will be called with the option's index, the option's value, and click_type as parameters.

CommandRef|CommandUniqPtr menu.slider_text(CommandRef parent, Label menu_name, table<any, string> command_names, Label help_text, table<int, Label> options, function on_click)

We highly recommend using menu.list_select instead of this, unless the options are really unimportant.

Your on_click function will be called with the option's index, the option's value, and click_type as parameters.

void menu.apply_command_states()

Loads state & hotkeys for commands you've created without needing to yield, although note that your script is always expected to create all (stateful) commands in the first tick.

Additionally, if you AND the type with COMMAND_FULLTYPEFLAG, you may find the result to equal one of the following:

COMMAND_FLAG_LIST
COMMAND_FLAG_LIST_ACTION
COMMAND_FLAG_TOGGLE
COMMAND_FLAG_SLIDER

table<int, CommandRef> menu.get_children(CommandRef list)

int menu.collect_garbage()

void menu.set_help_text(CommandRef|CommandUniqPtr command, Label help_text)

void menu.set_name_for_config(CommandRef|CommandUniqPtr command, string name_for_config)

If empty (which is the default), the name for config is the English (UK) translation of the menu_name, but if you change the menu_name of a command or have multiple commands in the same list with the same name, this will help the state and hotkeys system to keep the association.

void menu.set_visible(CommandRef command, bool visible)

void menu.set_value(CommandRef command, int|bool|string value)

void menu.set_min_value(CommandRef command, int min_value)

void menu.set_max_value(CommandRef command, int max_value)

§ DirectX Functions

Any X and Y value must be between 0.0 to 1.0.

The draw functions are in the HUD coordinate space, which is superimposed 1920x1080. You can also append _client to any draw function, e.g. draw_line_client to draw in client coordinate space, which is based on the game window size.

int directx.create_texture(string path)

An absolute path is recommended, e.g. by using filesystem.resources_dir().

void directx.draw_texture(int id, number sizeX, number sizeY, number centerX, number centerY, number posX, number posY, number rotation, Colour colour)

void directx.draw_texture(int id, number sizeX, number sizeY, number centerX, number centerY, number posX, number posY, number rotation, number r, number g, number b, number a)

void directx.draw_text(number x, number y, string text, int alignment, number scale, Colour colour, bool force_in_bounds = false)

alignment can be any of:

ALIGN_TOP_LEFT
ALIGN_TOP_CENTRE
ALIGN_TOP_RIGHT
ALIGN_CENTRE_LEFT
ALIGN_CENTRE
ALIGN_CENTRE_RIGHT
ALIGN_BOTTOM_LEFT
ALIGN_BOTTOM_CENTRE
ALIGN_BOTTOM_RIGHT

void directx.draw_rect(number x, number y, number width, number height, Colour colour)

void directx.draw_line(number x1, number y1, number x2, number y2, Colour colour)

void directx.draw_line(number x1, number y1, number x2, number y2, Colour colour1, Colour colour2)

void directx.draw_triangle(number x1, number y1, number x2, number y2, number x3, number y3, Colour colour)

number, number directx.get_client_size()

number, number directx.get_text_size(string text, number scale = 1.0)

Returns width and height.

number, number directx.pos_hud_to_client(number x, number y)

number, number directx.size_hud_to_client(number x, number y)

number, number directx.pos_client_to_hud(number x, number y)

number, number directx.size_client_to_hud(number x, number y)

int directx.blurrect_new()

void directx.blurrect_free(int instance)

Frees an instance. This is automatically done for all instances your script has allocated but not freed once it finishes.

void directx.blurrect_draw(int instance, number x, number y, number width, number height, int strength)

Prefer to use 1 instance per region, as any draw with a different size requires the buffers to be reallocated.

strength should be around 4 and can't exceed 255.

§ Util Functions

void util.require_natives(int|string version)

Loads the natives lib with the provided version, installing it from the repository if needed.

void util.execute_in_os_thread(function func)

Executes the given function in an OS thread to avoid holding up the game for expensive tasks like using require on a big file, creating lots of commands, or performing expensive calculations. Note that this will hold up your entire script, and calling natives or certain api functions in this context may lead to instabilities.

void util.require_no_lag(string file)

Like require, but in an OS thread, to avoid holding up the game. Might not work for every library.

void util.create_tick_handler(function func)

Registers the parameter-function to be called every tick until it returns false.

void util.try_run(function func)

void util.keep_running()

Prevents Stand cleaning up your script for being idle. This is implicit when you create commands, register event handlers, or use the async_http API.

void util.yield(?int wake_in_ms = nil)

Pauses the execution of the calling thread until the next tick or in wake_in_ms milliseconds.

If you're gonna create a "neverending" loop, don't forget to yield:

while true do
    -- Code that runs every tick...
    util.yield()
end

For simple loops, you should prefer util.create_tick_handler.

void util.set_busy(bool busy)

void util.create_thread(function thread_func, ...)

Creates the kind of thread that your script gets when it is created, or one of your callbacks is invoked, which is just another coroutine that gets resumed every tick and is expected to yield or return.

void util.stop_thread()

Stops the calling thread.

void util.restart_script()

Goes through the script stop process, freshly loads the contents of the script file, and starts the main thread again. Note that the thread scheduler stays as-is, so this restart is different from a stop-and-start.

void util.stop_script()

void util.on_pre_stop(function func)

void util.on_stop(function func)

Script stop process:

on_pre_stop handlers are called.
Default state is applied to all commands (Change callbacks may be called at this point with CLICK_BULK).
on_stop handlers are called.

Note that yielding and creating threads are not available during the stop process.

void util.toast(string message, int bitflags = TOAST_DEFAULT)

Possible bitflags:

TOAST_ABOVE_MAP — Uses Stand notifications if enabled
TOAST_CONSOLE
TOAST_FILE
TOAST_WEB
TOAST_CHAT
TOAST_CHAT_TEAM
TOAST_DEFAULT — Equal to (TOAST_ABOVE_MAP | TOAST_WEB)
TOAST_LOGGER — Equal to (TOAST_CONSOLE | TOAST_FILE)
TOAST_ALL — Equal to (TOAST_DEFAULT | TOAST_LOGGER)

Note that the chat flags are mutually exclusive.

void util.log(string message)

Alias for

util.toast(message, TOAST_LOGGER)

void util.draw_debug_text(string text)

Draws the given text for the current tick using the "Info Text" system.

void util.show_corner_help(string message)

Shorthand for

util.BEGIN_TEXT_COMMAND_IS_THIS_HELP_MESSAGE_BEING_DISPLAYED(message)
if not HUD.END_TEXT_COMMAND_IS_THIS_HELP_MESSAGE_BEING_DISPLAYED(0) then
    util.BEGIN_TEXT_COMMAND_DISPLAY_HELP(message)
    HUD.END_TEXT_COMMAND_DISPLAY_HELP(0, false, true, -1)
end

void util.replace_corner_help(string message, string replacement_message)

Shorthand for

util.BEGIN_TEXT_COMMAND_IS_THIS_HELP_MESSAGE_BEING_DISPLAYED(message)
if HUD.END_TEXT_COMMAND_IS_THIS_HELP_MESSAGE_BEING_DISPLAYED(0) then
    util.BEGIN_TEXT_COMMAND_DISPLAY_HELP(replacement_message)
    HUD.END_TEXT_COMMAND_DISPLAY_HELP(0, false, true, -1)
end

void util.set_local_player_wanted_level(int wanted_level)

Replacement for

PLAYER.SET_PLAYER_WANTED_LEVEL_NO_DROP(PLAYER.PLAYER_ID(), wanted_level, false)
PLAYER.SET_PLAYER_WANTED_LEVEL_NOW(PLAYER.PLAYER_ID(), false)

using pointers to avoid potentially tripping anti-cheat.

int util.joaat(string text)

JOAAT stands for Jenkins One At A Time which is the name of the hashing algorithm used pretty much everywhere in GTA.

string util.reverse_joaat(int hash)

Returns an empty string if the given hash is not found in Stand's dictionaries.

bool util.is_this_model_a_blimp(int|string model)

bool util.is_this_model_an_object(int|string model)

bool util.is_this_model_a_submarine(int|string model)

bool util.is_this_model_a_trailer(int|string model)

table<int, table> util.get_vehicles()

Returns an index-based table with a table for each vehicle in the game. The inner tables contain name and manufacturer.

table<int, table> util.get_weapons()

Returns an index-based table with a table for each weapon in the game. The inner tables contain hash, label_key, category, & category_id. Note that the categories are specific to Stand.
