How It Works

Players venture into designated hunting zones to find spawned animals. After successfully hunting an animal, they approach the carcass and use the interaction menu to harvest meat and leather. These materials are automatically added to their ESX inventory and can be sold at configured sell points or used in crafting systems. The script handles everything from animal spawning to sales transactions.

Installation

1. Extract the esx_hunting folder to your resources directory
2. Import the included SQL file to create database tables
3. Configure spawn zones and pricing in config.lua
4. Add start esx_hunting to your server.cfg
5. Restart your server and begin hunting

Configuration Options

The config file allows you to customize every aspect including animal spawn coordinates, respawn timers, harvest item amounts, sell prices, and weapon restrictions. You can create multiple hunting zones across the map, set different animal types for each zone, and adjust the economy balance to match your server's needs.

Requirements

• ESX Framework (v1.2 or newer)
• MySQL database (oxmysql or mysql-async)
• Basic ESX inventory system

What Makes It Stand Out

Unlike basic hunting scripts that just spawn animals randomly, this system provides a complete hunting economy with configurable zones, multiple animal types, and proper ESX integration. The anti-exploit measures ensure fair gameplay, while the lightweight code won't slow down your server. With 84+ sales and proven reliability, this hunting script delivers exactly what roleplay servers need without unnecessary complexity.
