FiveM Blips List

Updated July 2026 | by the Var FiveM team

FiveM uses the native GTA V blip system: 958 sprite IDs you attach to map coordinates with AddBlipForCoord and SetBlipSprite, then tint with one of 86 SetBlipColour values. This page is the full reference, every blip sprite ID and name, every color with its hex code, all DrawMarker types, plus ready-to-use Lua snippets, all sourced from the official FiveM documentation.

How blips work in FiveM

A blip is a 2D icon shown on the pause-menu map and the minimap. You create one client-side with AddBlipForCoord(x, y, z), which returns a handle, then configure it with SetBlipSprite (the icon), SetBlipColour (the tint), SetBlipScale and a name via the text command natives. Blips persist until you remove them or the resource stops, so you only create them once, usually in a loop over a config table when the script starts. Sprites are identified by a numeric ID; the same ID works in every FiveM script, ESX, QBCore or standalone, because the IDs come from the game itself, not from a framework.

Two settings matter more than the rest. SetBlipAsShortRange(blip, true) keeps the icon off the minimap until the player is close, which is what you want for shops and jobs; long-range blips clutter the radar from across the map. And RemoveBlip(blip) deletes a blip by handle, which matters for dynamic blips like GPS routes or mission targets that should disappear when the objective is done. Blips created by a resource are cleaned up automatically when that resource stops.

All FiveM blip IDs

The table below lists all 958 blip sprites available in FiveM, from ID 0 to 957. Names follow the internal radar_* texture naming, which usually describes the icon: radar_safehouse (40) is the house icon, radar_police_station (60) the police badge, radar_hospital (61) the hospital H, radar_barber (71) the scissors, radar_clothes_store (73) the t-shirt, radar_financier_strand (108) the dollar sign used for banks and radar_garage (357) the garage icon. Pass any of these IDs to SetBlipSprite.

A few practical notes: IDs 0 to 16 are engine-level radar icons (waypoint, north, level indicators) that scripts rarely use directly; sprite 8 is the waypoint icon itself. Weapon icons live around 150 to 160, GTA Online business icons in the 470 to 560 range, casino icons at 679 to 684 and the newest DLC sprites run past 900. If a sprite renders as a plain circle in-game, your server build predates that sprite, so pick an older ID.

Blip colors (SetBlipColour)

SetBlipColour accepts an ID from 0 to 85. The most used values are 0 (white), 1 (red), 2 (green), 3 (blue), 5 (yellow), 47 (orange) and 27 (bright purple). Some IDs repeat the same swatch because GTA V reserves them for friendly and enemy states; the hex values below are the base swatches from the FiveM documentation, so you can match your blip color to your UI theme exactly.

Markers vs blips (DrawMarker types)

Markers are 3D shapes rendered in the world with DrawMarker, not icons on the map. Unlike blips, a marker must be drawn every frame inside a loop, so scripts only draw them when the player is close to save performance. The docs list type IDs 0 to 43, of which 42 have documented names (types 41 and 43 are unnamed): the classics are type 1 (vertical cylinder, the standard stand-here zone), type 0 (upside down cone), type 2 (chevron arrow), type 6 (vertical circle), type 25 (thin horizontal circle) and type 29 (dollar sign).

Lua snippets: create a blip and a marker

Creating a blip takes five natives. The snippet below adds a bank blip (sprite 108, green) at the Legion Square Fleeca and names it, short range so it only appears on the minimap when the player is nearby.

-- client.lua | static map blip for a location
CreateThread(function()
    local blip = AddBlipForCoord(150.27, -1040.2, 29.37)

    SetBlipSprite(blip, 108)        -- sprite ID from the table above
    SetBlipColour(blip, 2)          -- color ID from the color table
    SetBlipScale(blip, 0.8)
    SetBlipAsShortRange(blip, true) -- only visible on the minimap nearby

    BeginTextCommandSetBlipName("STRING")
    AddTextComponentString("Bank")
    EndTextCommandSetBlipName(blip)
end)

Most scripts read blips from a config table so server owners can edit sprite, color and coordinates without touching logic. This is the pattern you will find in every well-built resource.

-- client.lua | loop over a config table of locations
local Shops = {
    { name = "24/7 Store",   coords = vec3(25.7, -1347.3, 29.5),  sprite = 52, color = 2 },
    { name = "Clothe Store", coords = vec3(72.3, -1399.1, 29.4),  sprite = 73, color = 47 },
    { name = "Barber Shop",  coords = vec3(-814.3, -183.8, 37.6), sprite = 71, color = 0 },
}

CreateThread(function()
    for _, shop in ipairs(Shops) do
        local blip = AddBlipForCoord(shop.coords.x, shop.coords.y, shop.coords.z)
        SetBlipSprite(blip, shop.sprite)
        SetBlipColour(blip, shop.color)
        SetBlipScale(blip, 0.75)
        SetBlipAsShortRange(blip, true)
        BeginTextCommandSetBlipName("STRING")
        AddTextComponentString(shop.name)
        EndTextCommandSetBlipName(blip)
    end
end)

Markers are drawn per frame. Wrap DrawMarker in a distance check in production; drawing only within 20 to 30 meters keeps the loop cheap.

-- client.lua | 3D marker drawn every frame (type 1 = vertical cylinder)
local pos = vec3(150.27, -1040.2, 28.37)

CreateThread(function()
    while true do
        Wait(0)
        DrawMarker(1, pos.x, pos.y, pos.z,
            0.0, 0.0, 0.0,   -- direction
            0.0, 0.0, 0.0,   -- rotation
            1.5, 1.5, 1.0,   -- scale x, y, z
            80, 200, 120, 120, -- RGBA
            false, false, 2, false, nil, nil, false)
    end
end)

Scripts with configurable blips

If you would rather configure blips than code them, every Var FiveM script that adds map locations exposes its blips in the config: sprite, color, scale and label, no Lua knowledge needed. Var-Bank ships 8 bank locations with teller peds and blips, Var-AutoCarDealer has a configurable dealership blip and ground marker, Var-ClotheShop pre-configures 14 store locations with blips and markers, Var-BarberShop covers 7 barbershops with peds and blips, Var-GardenerJob uses optional markers and prompts across 5 harvest zones, and Var-PosterJob routes players with GPS blips to each poster spot. All of them work on ESX and QBCore.
