Yoda Tasks – Modern Task UI System for FiveM

Transform Your Job Scripts with a Sleek Task Interface

Give your FiveM job systems a professional, modern interface that players will actually enjoy using. Yoda Tasks is a free, standalone task UI system that makes managing jobs, objectives, and missions more intuitive and visually appealing. Whether you’re running delivery jobs, collection tasks, or multi-step missions, this script provides a clean, organized way to display progress and objectives.

Unlike cluttered, text-heavy interfaces that overwhelm players, Yoda Tasks uses a minimal design philosophy. Players see exactly what they need – current task, progress, and next steps – without distracting elements. The smooth animations and responsive design make it feel polished and professional, elevating your server’s overall quality.

What Makes Yoda Tasks Different?

This isn’t just another notification system. Yoda Tasks is specifically designed for job-based gameplay, providing persistent task tracking that stays visible while players work. The system supports both simple single-task displays and complex multi-objective missions, adapting to whatever your job scripts require.

The UI is built with customization in mind. Server owners can adjust colors to match their branding, modify positioning to fit their HUD layout, and configure display styles to suit different job types. Everything is controlled through a straightforward config file – no coding expertise required for basic customization.

Installation Guide

Step 1: Download the Resource

Click the download link below to get the latest version from GitHub. Extract the ZIP file to access the resource folder.

Step 2: Install to Your Server

Copy the yoda-tasks folder to your server’s resources directory (usually server-data/resources/). Make sure all files are present in the folder.

Step 3: Add to server.cfg

Open your server.cfg file and add this line:

ensure yoda-tasks

Step 4: Configure Settings (Optional)

Open the config.lua file to customize colors, positioning, and display options. The default settings work great, but customization options include:

• Gradient color values (primary and secondary colors)
• Border color and thickness
• UI position on screen
• Animation speed and style
• Display mode (simple or detailed)

Step 5: Restart Your Server

Restart your FiveM server to load the new resource. You can verify it loaded by checking the server console for any errors.

Step 6: Integrate with Job Scripts

Use the provided exports to trigger task displays from your existing job scripts. Basic usage example:

exports['yoda-tasks']:ShowTask({
    title = "Delivery Job",
    task = "Deliver package to Vinewood",
    amount = "3/10",
    icon = "fa-box"
})

Integration Examples

Here’s how to integrate Yoda Tasks with common job types:

Delivery Jobs

-- Show delivery task
exports['yoda-tasks']:ShowTask({
    title = "Package Delivery",
    task = "Drop off at marked location",
    amount = deliveriesComplete .. "/" .. totalDeliveries,
    icon = "fa-truck"
})

Collection Tasks

-- Show garbage collection progress
exports['yoda-tasks']:ShowTask({
    title = "Garbage Collection",
    task = "Collect from marked bins",
    amount = binsCollected .. "/15",
    icon = "fa-trash"
})

Simple Message

-- Show simple task without progress
exports['yoda-tasks']:ShowTask({
    title = "Welcome",
    message = "Check your map for the next objective"
})

Common Issues & Solutions

Issue: UI not appearing on screen

Solution: Check F8 console for errors. Verify the resource is started (type ensure yoda-tasks in server console). Make sure you’re using the correct export syntax. Try restarting the resource with restart yoda-tasks.

Issue: Colors not changing after config edit

Solution: After editing config.lua, you must restart the resource completely. Use restart yoda-tasks in the server console. Clear your FiveM cache if changes still don’t appear.

Issue: UI position conflicts with other HUD elements

Solution: Adjust the position settings in config.lua. You can move the task UI to different corners or sides of the screen to avoid overlapping with other interfaces.

Issue: Icons not displaying

Solution: Yoda Tasks uses Font Awesome icons. Make sure you’re using valid Font Awesome 5 icon names (e.g., “fa-box”, “fa-truck”). Check the Font Awesome documentation for available icons.

Customization Tips

• Match Your Server Theme: Use your server’s brand colors in the gradient settings for a cohesive look
• Icon Library: Browse Font Awesome for hundreds of free icons to represent different task types
• Position Testing: Test different positions with various screen resolutions to ensure visibility
• Animation Speed: Adjust animation timing to match your server’s overall UI feel
• Contrast: Ensure text is readable against your chosen background colors
