FiveM Kidnapping by rainmad - Interactive Hostage & Ransom System

Add intense criminal roleplay to your FiveM server with this comprehensive kidnapping script. Players can abduct others, transport hostages, demand ransoms, and execute tense negotiations — all with realistic mechanics, police alerts, and immersive animations. This script transforms basic hostage situations into fully-featured criminal scenarios that create memorable roleplay moments for criminals, victims, and law enforcement alike.

Dependencies

This script requires ESX framework with game build 2060 or higher for proper object and animation support.

What It Does

FiveM Kidnapping enables realistic abduction mechanics where criminals can restrain victims, place them in vehicles, transport them to hideouts, and demand ransoms. The system includes proper animations, police notification systems, and configurable scenarios that balance realism with gameplay. Whether it's targeted kidnapping for ransom or spontaneous hostage situations, this script handles it all.

Core Features

• Realistic Restraint System - Criminals must have a switchblade (or configured item) equipped before kidnapping. This prevents random abductions and adds realism — attackers need weapons to subdue victims.
• Police Alert Integration - Automatic alerts notify law enforcement when kidnappings occur. Includes location data, suspect descriptions, and situation details. Creates opportunities for rescue operations and pursuits.
• Interactive Animations - Victims display tied-up animations with proper positioning. Kidnappers perform realistic restraining actions. All animations synchronized for immersive scenes.
• Camera Animation System - Dynamic camera angles during kidnapping scenarios create cinematic moments. Viewing angles adjust to show important actions, enhancing roleplay immersion.
• Detailed Configuration - Customize kidnapping locations, painting coordinates (locations where victims can be held), item requirements, time limits between kidnappings, and police job names.
• Multi-Player Compatible - Criminals can work together to kidnap targets, transport hostages, and execute complex operations. Coordinate with friends for bigger scores.
• Language Customization - Easily change script language in config to match your server's primary language. All text strings are editable.
• Performance Optimized - 0.01ms at idle, minimal resource usage even during active kidnappings. No server lag during tense situations.
• No IP Lock - Install on any server without restrictions.
• Not Obfuscated - Clean, readable code allows customization and integration with other scripts.

Perfect For

• Criminal roleplay servers wanting realistic hostage mechanics
• Law enforcement servers needing rescue/negotiation scenarios
• Gang servers where rival abductions create conflict
• Serious roleplay communities with organized crime elements
• Servers wanting alternatives to simple robberies

How It Works

1. Criminal approaches target player
2. Criminal equips switchblade (or configured weapon)
3. Criminal uses kidnap command/interaction on victim
4. Victim is restrained with animations
5. Police receive automatic alert with location
6. Criminal can move victim into vehicle
7. Transport to hideout or ransom location
8. Demand payment from victim's associates or negotiate with police
9. Release victim or face rescue operation

Police Integration

When a kidnapping occurs, the police job automatically receives detailed alerts including GPS coordinates, suspect description if witnessed, and situation type. This creates realistic response scenarios where law enforcement must decide whether to pursue immediately, set up roadblocks, or attempt negotiations. The alert system is fully configurable to work with your server's police notification scripts.

Ransom System

Criminals can demand ransoms from victims or their organizations. Set ransom amounts, negotiate through in-game chat or phone, and arrange drop-off locations. The script doesn't force specific ransom mechanics, allowing flexibility for your server's economic balance and roleplay preferences. Integrate with banking scripts, cash systems, or create custom payment methods.
