Description

Get the network id of the given entity

An entity network id represents a given entity for other clients, it's a handle shared between clients, can be reconverted to a client entity handle.
These (entity network IDs) can and will be reused, the network id will not change.
If you need to refer to an entity across machines (clients, or the server), you should use its network id.

Quick Snippet: Get Entity

entity

Use this to obtain an entity handle from the player's aim or crosshair.

-- Get the entity the player is aiming at
local ped = PlayerPedId()
local hit, entity = GetEntityPlayerIsFreeAimingAt(PlayerId())

if hit and entity ~= 0 then
    print("Entity: " .. entity)
    print("Model: " .. GetEntityModel(entity))
    print("Type: " .. GetEntityType(entity)) -- 1=Ped, 2=Vehicle, 3=Object
end

Spawn Vehicle with Network Setup

Clientlua

-- SpawnVehicle internally sets up networking:
QBCore.Functions.SpawnVehicle("sultan", function(veh)
    -- Already done internally:
    -- local netid = NetworkGetNetworkIdFromEntity(veh)
    -- SetVehicleHasBeenOwnedByPlayer(veh, true)
    -- SetNetworkIdCanMigrate(netid, true)
    -- SetVehicleNeedsToBeHotwired(veh, false)
    -- SetVehRadioStation(veh, "OFF")
    -- SetVehicleFuelLevel(veh, 100.0)
    print("Vehicle ready with network ID setup")
end)

QBCore.Functions.SpawnVehicle automatically calls NetworkGetNetworkIdFromEntity and SetNetworkIdCanMigrate(netid, true) so the vehicle ownership can transfer between clients as needed.
