Fast answer:<\/strong> FiveM servers remove the default GTA reticle by running HideHudComponentThisFrame(14)<\/code> every frame in a client script. The call must run on the client, inside a loop, because HUD components return on the next frame.<\/p>\n

Copyable client script<\/h2>\n

Create a small client resource and put this in client.lua<\/code>:<\/p>\n

CreateThread(function()\n    while true do\n        Wait(0)\n        HideHudComponentThisFrame(14)\n    end\nend)<\/code><\/pre>\n
The official Cfx.re native reference lists HideHudComponentThisFrame<\/a> as the native for hiding HUD components. Component 14<\/code> is the reticle\/crosshair.<\/p>\n
Minimal fxmanifest.lua<\/h2>\n
Place this next to client.lua<\/code> in a resource folder, for example resources\/[local]\/no-crosshair\/<\/code>:<\/p>\n
fx_version 'cerulean'\ngame 'gta5'\n\nclient_script 'client.lua'<\/code><\/pre>\n
Then add the resource to server.cfg<\/code>:<\/p>\n
ensure no-crosshair<\/code><\/pre>\n
Why it has to run every frame<\/h2>\n
HUD hiding is frame based. Calling the native once can look like it worked for a moment, but the reticle returns because GTA renders HUD components again on later frames. Keep the loop lightweight and do not add expensive logic inside it.<\/p>\n

local crosshairHidden = true\n\nRegisterCommand('crosshair', function()\n    crosshairHidden = not crosshairHidden\n    print(crosshairHidden and 'Crosshair hidden' or 'Crosshair visible')\nend, false)\n\nCreateThread(function()\n    while true do\n        Wait(0)\n        if crosshairHidden then\n            HideHudComponentThisFrame(14)\n        end\n    end\nend)<\/code><\/pre>\n
