Examples

Simple Interaction

-- Create interaction prompt
Prompt.create("interact", "Pick Up", "INPUT_PICKUP")

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
    while true do
        Wait(0)
        Prompt.displayGroup("interact", "Search Box")

        if Prompt.isCompleted("interact", "INPUT_PICKUP") then

            print("Searching box...")
        end
    end
end)

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
    while true do
        Wait(0)
        Prompt.displayGroup("craft", "Crafting")

        if Prompt.isCompleted("craft", "INPUT_PICKUP") then
            -- Crafting completed
            print("Item crafted!")
