Animal Riding

Animal Riding - Advanced Horse & Animal Mount System

Bring unique transportation and roleplay opportunities to your FiveM server with the Advanced Animal Riding script, featuring rideable horses and other animals with realistic movement mechanics, inventory systems, and customization options. This comprehensive script transforms animals from static props into functional mounts that players can ride across the map, creating immersive ranch roleplay, western-themed servers, wildlife sanctuaries, and alternative transportation methods beyond traditional vehicles.

What's Included

The Animal Riding system provides complete mount functionality with spawning, riding controls, and animal management features. Players can acquire horses and other animals through configured methods, mount and dismount with proper animations, control their animal mount with realistic movement physics, and store animals when not in use. The script includes an animal inventory system where mounts can carry items, customization options for different animal breeds and appearances, and integration with targeting systems for interaction. A SQL database component tracks animal ownership and stats, while configuration files allow extensive customization of speeds, stamina systems, and available animals.

Key Features

• Multiple Animal Types - Support for horses and potentially other rideable animals
• Realistic Movement - Animal-specific animations and physics for authentic riding
• Mount Controls - Walk, trot, gallop, and directional steering mechanics
• Animal Inventory - Mounts can carry items like saddlebags
• Ownership System - Database tracking for animal ownership and management
• Spawn & Despawn - Summon and store animals as needed
• Breed Variations - Different horse breeds with unique appearances
• Stamina System - Configurable stamina affecting speed and performance
• Target Integration - Works with qb-target or other interaction systems
• Admin Commands - Dev commands for testing and management

Perfect For

• Western-themed roleplay servers with ranches and frontier settings
• Farm and ranch management servers needing horse functionality
• Historical roleplay communities set in pre-automobile eras
• Wildlife and nature-themed servers with animal interactions
• Servers wanting alternative transportation beyond cars and bikes
• Horse racing events and equestrian competitions
• Rural roleplay scenarios with agricultural focus

Technical Details

• Framework: QBCore (qb-core, qb-target, qb-menu or ps-ui required)
• Database: SQL database component (animals.sql included)
• Horse Model: Uses Quechus13 free horse mod from GTA5-Mods
• Performance: Optimized animal spawning and movement systems
• Customization: Extensive config for speeds, breeds, and mechanics
• Notifications: Configurable notification system (default qb-core)
• Dev Tools: /horse command for testing mechanics (unhash in open.lua)

Installation

1. Download the Animal Riding script from your purchase
2. Ensure dependencies are installed: qb-core, qb-target, qb-menu or ps-ui
3. Run the animals.sql file in your database to create required tables
4. Extract the resource to your server's resources directory
5. Configure notification system in open.lua if not using base qb-core
6. Review config file to adjust animal speeds, breeds, and settings
7. Add ensure [resource-name] to server.cfg and restart
8. Optional: Enable /horse command in open.lua for dev testing

Framework Compatibility

• ✅ QBCore - Designed specifically for QBCore framework
• ✅ QB-Target - Uses target system for animal interactions
• ✅ QB-Menu / PS-UI - Supports either menu system for interfaces
• ⚠️ ESX/Other - Requires modification for non-QBCore frameworks

What Makes It Stand Out

This isn't just horse props - it's a complete animal transportation system with depth and functionality. The mount mechanics feel natural with proper animations and movement physics that differ from vehicle handling. The inventory system turns horses into mobile storage, useful for hunting trips or rural roleplay where carrying capacity matters. The ownership and database integration means horses become valued possessions that persist across sessions, not temporary spawns. Breed variations and customization create individual identity for each mount, encouraging attachment and roleplay around specific animals. For western, historical, or rural servers, this provides authentic transportation that fits the setting better than modern vehicles. The admin /horse command makes testing easy, and the extensive configuration allows you to balance speed versus realism for your server's needs.
