Installation

Follow these steps to properly install the script on GTA 5.

  • A functioning FiveM server (local or hosted).
  • Access to server files (via FTP or directly on your machine).
  1. Download the script
    Retrieve the script folder (usually in .zip or .rar format) from the official source.

  2. Unzip the folder
    Use a tool like WinRAR or 7-Zip to extract the script folder onto your computer.

  3. Place the folder in the resources directory
    Copy the script folder into your FiveM server’s resources folder (for example: resources/[myServer]/electric_brass_knuckles).

  4. Declare the script in server.cfg
    Open the server.cfg file at your server’s root and add the following line: ensure 'electric_brass_knuckles'

  5. Configure the script
    Modify the configuration file config.lua. Change it according to your needs before starting the server. (See Configuration)

  6. Add the weapon to your inventory
    Make sure to do this via your inventory system. The weapon name is found in /client/weaponName.lua => WEAPON_EKNUCKLE. The weapon image is in the /shared/ folder.

  7. Restart the server
    Restart your FiveM server so that the script is properly loaded.


Check that the script folder contains a fxmanifest.lua file — this is essential for FiveM to recognize the script.
