Death Screen Script for FiveM

Want to replace FiveM’s default black death screen with something more immersive? This free Death Screen Script gives your players a customized respawn experience that fits your server’s theme. Whether you’re running a serious medical roleplay server or a fast-paced action server, having control over what players see when they’re down makes a huge difference in immersion.

The best part? This script works seamlessly with both ESX and QBCore frameworks, so you don’t need to worry about compatibility issues. It’s fully customizable, meaning you can adjust the visual design, timer settings, and even add custom messages or server branding. Let’s dive into what makes this death screen script a must-have for any FiveM server owner.

Que fait ce script ?

When a player gets killed or knocked unconscious, this script replaces the default death screen with a custom interface. You can display information like respawn timers, available medical services, or instructions for calling EMS. The script integrates directly with your framework’s death system, so players experience a smooth transition from alive to downed to respawned.

The interface is clean and modern, designed to keep players informed without blocking their entire view. They can still see what’s happening around them (useful for roleplay scenarios where criminals might finish them off or EMS needs to locate them). The script also handles respawn logic, making it easy to customize respawn times, locations, and conditions.

Conseils de configuration

Respawn Timer: Most roleplay servers use 5-10 minutes to give EMS time to respond. PvP servers often use 30-60 seconds for faster gameplay.

Camera Settings: You can set the camera to stay in place, slowly rotate around the body, or switch to a ragdoll view. Rotating cameras are popular for immersion.

Custom Branding: Add your server logo, Discord link, or donation information to the death screen. Many servers use this as an opportunity to remind players of server rules.

Problèmes courants et solutions

Issue: Death Screen Doesn’t Appear

Solution: Check that you’ve disabled or removed your old death script (like esx_ambulancejob’s default death screen). Only one death screen can be active at a time. Also verify the script started correctly in your server console – look for any error messages.

Issue: Players Can’t Respawn After Timer Ends

Solution: This usually happens if the script isn’t properly connected to your framework’s death events. Make sure the framework is set correctly in config.lua and that you’re using the latest version of ESX or QBCore.

Issue: Screen Appears But Shows Errors/Broken Text

Solution: Check that all files from the download are present, especially the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files in the html folder. A missing file can break the UI.

Issue: Conflicts with EMS Job Script

Solution: You may need to disable the death screen portion of your ambulance job script (esx_ambulancejob or qb-ambulancejob) to prevent conflicts. Look for death-related events and comment them out.

Issue: Timer Doesn’t Count Down Properly

Solution: Clear your FiveM cache and reconnect. Sometimes cached JavaScript files cause timer issues. Also check that your server’s system time is correct.

FAQ

Q: Can I use this with my existing ambulance job?

R: Yes! This death screen script is designed to work alongside esx_ambulancejob or qb-ambulancejob. It just replaces the visual interface – all the EMS revival mechanics stay the same.

Q: Can players hear what’s happening around them while dead?

R: This depends on your voice chat settings. The death screen script doesn’t control voice proximity – that’s handled by your voice resource (pma-voice, mumble, etc.). You can configure those separately.

Q: How do I change the text and messages shown?

R: Open the config.lua file or the HTML files (usually index.html) and edit the text strings. Most scripts have translation support for multiple languages.

Q: Can I add images or videos to the death screen?

R: Absolutely! You can edit the HTML/CSS to include background images, server logos, or even embedded videos. Just keep file sizes reasonable to avoid long loading times.

Q: Does this work with custom death animations?

R: Yes, the death screen script is separate from death animations. It just controls the UI overlay – your framework handles the actual death animation and ragdoll.

Q: Can I disable respawning completely (force EMS revival only)?

R: Most death screen scripts have a config option to disable the respawn button entirely, requiring EMS to revive players. This is popular on hardcore roleplay servers.

Q: Will this work on OneSync?

R: Yes, death screen scripts are client-side UI modifications and work perfectly with OneSync enabled servers.

Q: How do I update the script when a new version comes out?

R: Back up your config.lua and any customized HTML files, then replace the old script folder with the new one. Copy your config settings back into the new config.lua file.
