Emote
Menu
-- 3 code blocks · 1 min read
The main menu lets you browse, search, preview and play emotes through a React-based interface.
Opening the menu
| Action | Default |
|---|---|
| Key | M |
| Command | /emote_menu |
Players can move while the menu is open (
Config.Menu.AllowMovement = true).
Playing an emote by command
/e [name] Play an emote by its ID
/emote [name] Alias
/e c Cancel the current emote
/cancel_emote Cancel (X key by default)
Categories
The menu is organized in tabs. Each category can be disabled in the config:
| Category | Description | Config key |
|---|---|---|
| Emotes | General animations | Config.Categories.Emotes |
| Dances | Dance animations | Config.Categories.Dances |
| Props | Emotes with attached objects | Config.Categories.Props |
| Expressions | Facial expressions | Config.Categories.Expressions |
| Walks | Walk styles | Config.Categories.Walks |
| Shared | Two-player emotes | Config.Categories.Shared |
| Animals | Animal emotes | Config.Categories.Animal |
| History | Recently played emotes | Config.Categories.History |
| Playlists | Saved emote sequences | Config.Categories.Playlists |
Preview
When you hover over an emote in the menu, a clone of your character appears on screen and plays the animation as a live preview.
For shared emotes, a partner ped is also spawned to preview both sides of the animation.
Config.Preview = {
Enabled = true,
PartnerModel = "a_m_m_business_01", -- Model used for the partner preview
}
Right-click context menu
Right-clicking any emote in the menu opens a context menu with:
- Play the emote
- Add to favorites
- Bind to numpad slot (0-9) -- also appears in the emote wheel
- 3D Placement -- position the emote in the world with a gizmo
