Quick Snippet: Create Blip

→ Blip

Use this to create or reference a map blip for this native.

-- Create a blip at the player's position
local coords = GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId())
local blip = AddBlipForCoord(coords.x, coords.y, coords.z)

SetBlipSprite(blip, 1)       -- Standard blip icon
SetBlipColour(blip, 1)       -- Red color
SetBlipScale(blip, 0.8)
SetBlipAsShortRange(blip, true)

BeginTextCommandSetBlipName("STRING")
AddTextComponentSubstringPlayerName("My Blip")
EndTextCommandSetBlipName(blip)

print("Blip created: " .. blip)

Returns

Blip

Returns a blip handle.

Framework Usage

2 examples

Teleport to Waypoint

Clientlua

-- QBCore's waypoint teleport checks for blip existence
-- Triggered by QBCore:Command:GoToMarker
local blipMarker = GetFirstBlipInfoId(8) -- 8 = waypoint
if not DoesBlipExist(blipMarker) then
    QBCore.Functions.Notify("No waypoint set!", "error", 5000)
    return
end
local coords = GetBlipInfoIdCoord(blipMarker)

Blip sprite 8 is the player waypoint. QBCore uses this in the GoToMarker command to read the waypoint position before performing the full teleport sequence with ground detection.
