Realistic Smoking

Realistic Smoking System - Immersive Roleplay with Joint Rolling Minigame

Transform your FiveM server's roleplay experience with this comprehensive smoking system that brings authentic tobacco and cannabis mechanics to Los Santos. This isn't just another prop script - it's a fully-featured smoking simulation with synchronized effects, interactive minigames, and realistic item dependencies that add depth to your server's economy and player interactions.

Whether players want to light up a cigarette during a tense business meeting, roll and smoke joints for stress relief, or enjoy a celebratory cigar after a successful heist, this script handles it all with polished animations and gameplay mechanics that enhance immersion without breaking performance.

What's Included

You get a complete smoking system with synchronized smoke effects visible to all nearby players, an engaging joint-rolling minigame that requires skill and timing, automatic item consumption with lighter requirements, and vehicle-specific behaviors that place cigarettes directly in your character's mouth when entering a car. The package includes a modified version of esx_crafting specifically configured for rolling papers and joint creation, making this a turnkey solution for your roleplay server.

Key Features

• Interactive Joint Rolling Minigame - Players must complete a skill-based minigame to successfully roll joints from loose cannabis and papers. Adds gameplay depth and makes the process feel earned rather than instant.
• Synchronized Visual Effects - Smoke particles and animations are synced between all players in the area. When someone lights up, everyone nearby sees the realistic smoke trails and glowing embers.
• Item Dependency System - Players need a lighter item in their inventory to ignite cigarettes, cigars, or joints. This creates demand for lighters in your server economy and adds realism to the smoking process.
• Vehicle Auto-Smoke Feature - When a player enters a vehicle while holding a lit cigarette, joint, or cigar, it automatically gets placed in their mouth with proper animations - just like real smokers do.
• Progressive Joint Effects - Smoking joints provides a 50% armor boost, with effects that stack and intensify with each use. Great for creating cannabis-based buff mechanics in your server.
• Walk While Smoking - Players can move freely while smoking - no more being locked in place. Smoke during conversations, walks, or while conducting shady business deals.
• Environmental Awareness - If your character enters water, any lit cigarette, cigar, or joint is automatically extinguished and destroyed. Realistic detail that prevents exploit scenarios.
• Extensive Configuration Options - Customize smoke duration, armor values, item names, minigame difficulty, lighter consumption rates, and animation styles to match your server's balance and theme.
• Performance Optimized - Built with efficiency in mind. Runs at 0.00-0.01ms idle and minimal resmon impact during active smoking, ensuring smooth gameplay even on populated servers.

Perfect For

• Serious roleplay servers wanting authentic smoking mechanics
• Gang/crime servers where characters smoke during deals and meetings
• Casual RP servers looking to add social interaction activities
• Economy-focused servers needing consumable items with demand
• Servers with drug systems wanting cannabis consumption mechanics

How It Works

1. Players acquire cigarettes, cigars, cannabis, and rolling papers through your server's shops or drug dealers
2. For joints: use the rolling papers item, complete the minigame, and successfully craft a joint from cannabis
3. Equip a lighter from inventory (required for all smoking items)
4. Use the cigarette/cigar/joint item - character automatically lights up with animations
5. Smoke effects appear and sync to nearby players in real-time
6. For joints: receive 50% armor boost with progressive stacking effects
7. Items are consumed after use duration expires or if character enters water

3. Import cigarette, cigar, joint, lighter, cannabis, and rolling paper items to your database

Minigame Mechanics

The joint rolling minigame adds an engaging skill-based element to cannabis consumption. Players see a timing-based interface where they must press the correct key at the right moment to successfully roll a joint. Miss the timing, and the rolling papers and cannabis are wasted - adding stakes to the process. This prevents instant gratification and creates memorable moments when players finally nail the perfect roll.

What Makes It Stand Out

Unlike basic smoking scripts that just play an animation, this system creates actual gameplay around the smoking experience. The minigame requirement for joints, the progressive armor stacking for cannabis, the realistic lighter dependency, and the environmental awareness (water destroying lit items) all combine to create a smoking system that feels like a genuine feature rather than a cosmetic addition. The included modified esx_crafting ensures you have everything needed out of the box, while the extensive configuration options let you tune the experience to your server's style - whether that's hardcore realism or casual fun.
