ox_inventory edits (optional)

This section is completely optional. The script will still work perfectly fine even if you choose not to edit ox_inventory. The point of this edit is to rotate the model that the customDrops spawns so they sit correctly on the ground instead of upright every time.

Without Edit	With Edit

We can achieve this by editing the code responsible for customDrops by passing in a rotation and offset to be used when spawning the model. If you run into any issues and need help please open a ticket in our discord as ox_inventory does not handle support for modified code of their inventory.

Steps

---

1. Go to modules/inventory/server.lua and edit the CustomDrop function.

   local function CustomDrop(prefix, items, coords, slots, maxWeight, instance, model, rot, offset)
   	local dropId = generateInvId()
   	local inventory = Inventory.Create(dropId, ('%s %s'):format(prefix, dropId:gsub('%D', '')), 'drop', slots or shared.dropslots, 0, maxWeight or shared.dropweight, false, {})
   
   	if not inventory then return end
   
   	inventory.items, inventory.weight = generateItems(inventory, 'drop', items)
   	inventory.coords = coords
   	Inventory.Drops[dropId] = {
   		coords = inventory.coords,
   		instance = instance,
   		model = model,
   		rot = rot,
   		offset = offset,
   	}
   
   	TriggerClientEvent('ox_inventory:createDrop', -1, dropId, Inventory.Drops[dropId])
   
       return dropId
   end

2. Go to client.lua where you will need to edit both the onEnterDrop and createDrop functions.

   local function onEnterDrop(point)
   	if not point.instance or point.instance == currentInstance and not point.entity then
   		local model = point.model or client.dropmodel
   
   		lib.requestModel(model)
   
   		local entity = CreateObject(model, point.coords.x, point.coords.y, point.coords.z, false, true, true)
   
   		SetModelAsNoLongerNeeded(model)
   		PlaceObjectOnGroundProperly(entity)
   		FreezeEntityPosition(entity, true)
   		SetEntityCollision(entity, false, true)
   
   		if point.rot then 
   			SetEntityRotation(entity, point.rot.x, point.rot.y, point.rot.z, 5, true)
   		end 
   
   		if point.offset then 
   			SetEntityCoords(entity, point.coords.x + point.offset.x, point.coords.y + point.offset.y, point.coords.z + point.offset.z)
   		end 
   
   		point.entity = entity
   	end
   end

   local function createDrop(dropId, data)
   	local point = lib.points.new({
   		coords = data.coords,
   		distance = 16,
   		invId = dropId,
   		instance = data.instance,
   		model = data.model,
   		rot = data.rot,
   		offset = data.offset,
   	})
   
   	if point.model or client.dropprops then
   		point.distance = 30
   		point.onEnter = onEnterDrop
   		point.onExit = onExitDrop
   	else
   		point.nearby = nearbyDrop
   	end
   
   	client.drops[dropId] = point
   end
