Communication

Communication is essential to the gameplay; whether you prefer text or voice chat, we got you covered.

Text Chat

Press T to show the chatbox.

Global

To send a message to the whole server, just type it and press enter.

Commands

If your text starts with a slash (/), it will be ran as a command. Please, refer to the commands page for details.

DMs

To send a direct message to someone, you can prefix your message with the /dm command. A ping sound will be played on the computer of the other player. Sometimes you may be unable to send a DM because players may have disabled their DMs with the /dms command, or they may have blocked you.

Colors, Emojis and GIFs

You can pick colors, emojis and even send GIFs from Tenor from within the chatbox. Some of these options may be available only to Premium Members.

Mentioning

You can mention other players by typing @ followed by their id. For example, Hello @2, what's up, will become Hello @Sasino (2), what's up, and it will play a ping sound on the computer of the mentioned player, unless they have blocked you.

Scrolling

You can scroll up and down using PgUp and PgDn while the chatbox is open.

HUD Layout

You can change the position of the chatbox in M > Options > Display > HUD Layout. In the standard layout, the chatbox is at the top-left as in SA-MP, while in the inverted layout, the chat will move to the middle-right of the screen, as in GTA Online.

Voice Chat

By default, it's disabled. You can change this by pressing Esc and navigating to Settings > Voice chat.

Indicator

If someone has voice chat disabled and can't hear anyone, you will see an indicator over their gamertag, showing a striked headset.

Push-to-Talk

If you choose to use push-to-talk, the default key is N. You can change this hotkey under Esc > Settings > Keybinds > Voice chat. This is the best option for privacy.

Voice-Activated

If you choose the voice-activated mode, everything you say in your mic will be heard in-game directly. This option is recommended if you have an easily accessible mute switch on your headset, or a hotkey.

Proximity

The default voice chat mode is proximity, meaning that only nearby players can hear you. The closer you are to a player, the louder their voice.

Radio

When you are on certain jobs or in a party, you are equipped with a radio that allows you to talk with distant players.

To view your radio menu, type /radio. In this menu, you are able to turn your radio on and off, change the volume, and change the channel.

Voice

To talk on the radio, hold the radio key. By default it's Alt, but you can change it in Esc > Options > Keybinds > FiveM. There is no voice-activated mode for the radio.

Text

You can also type on a radio channel. To do this, simply open your chatbox and prefix your message with an exclamation mark !.
