What is Darts?

Darts or dart-throwing is a competitive sport in which two or more players bare-handedly throw small sharp-pointed missiles known as darts at a round target known as a dartboard. (Wiki) In FiveM roleplay, darts serves as a social activity for bars, pubs, and recreational spaces. Players gather around dartboards to compete, socialize, and pass time during roleplay scenarios. The game combines skill-based aiming with friendly competition, making it perfect for casual interactions or organized tournaments.

How to Play

Players approach a dartboard and interact to join a game. Up to four players can join before the match starts. Once ready, the game begins with the first player's turn. The player aims using directional controls and throws by pressing the designated key. Accuracy determines which section of the dartboard is hit and how many points are scored. After three darts, the turn passes to the next player automatically. The game continues with players taking turns until someone reaches the victory condition (depending on ruleset). Common variants include counting down from 301 or 501 to exactly zero, or cricket mode where players must hit specific numbers. The first to complete the objective wins.

Ruleset Customization

ESX Darts' standout feature is independent ruleset configuration per dartboard. A bar in the city might use standard 301 rules (count down from 301 to zero), while a gang hideout uses 501 for longer games. A pub could have cricket rules (hit each number 1-20 three times), and a private club might create custom scoring. Players can also change rules on-the-fly if given permission, allowing them to choose game variants before starting. This flexibility means one script supports many different dart game experiences.

Common Game Variants

301/501: Players start with 301 or 501 points and count down. Each dart throw subtracts from the total. The goal is reaching exactly zero (must finish on a double). First to zero wins. Cricket: Players must hit numbers 15-20 and the bullseye three times each. Hitting a number more than three times scores points if opponent hasn't closed that number yet. First to close all numbers with equal or higher score wins. Around the Clock: Players must hit numbers 1-20 in order, then bullseye. First player to complete the sequence wins. Configure any of these variants or create custom scoring rules based on your server's preferences.

• ❌ Standalone - Requires ESX framework

Location Ideas

Place dartboards strategically to enhance roleplay locations. Bars and pubs are obvious choices - Yellow Jack, Tequi-la-la, or custom bar MLOs. Gang hideouts benefit from dartboards as leisure activities between criminal jobs. Police station break rooms provide officer entertainment. Mechanic shops, fire stations, and other workplace locations use dartboards for downtime. Private mansions and luxury properties can have game rooms with darts. The flexibility allows dartboards wherever social gathering makes sense.

What Makes It Stand Out

ESX Darts stands out for its simplicity and completeness. Zero dependencies means no troubleshooting conflicts or missing libraries. The multiplayer support (up to 4 players) creates social competition rather than solo mini-games. Independent rulesets per dartboard provide variety without installing multiple scripts. The throwing mechanic requires actual aiming skill, making outcomes feel earned rather than random. With 95+ sales, ESX Darts has proven itself as a reliable, easy-to-install entertainment option.

Roleplay Integration

Use darts for organic roleplay scenarios. Characters meet at the bar and challenge each other to a game while discussing business. Gang members play darts during downtime, building camaraderie. Host dart tournaments as server events with prize money. Create dart league systems where teams compete weekly. Use dart games for betting and gambling roleplay (players wager on outcomes). The social nature of the game encourages interaction and conversation during gameplay.

Server Events and Competitions

Organize dart tournaments as community events. Set up bracket-style competitions with entry fees and prize pools. Host charity tournaments where proceeds benefit server causes. Create dart leagues with seasonal rankings. Run sudden-death competitions with eliminations. The competitive nature makes darts perfect for organized events that bring the community together. Unlike racing or combat events, dart tournaments are accessible to all player types and skill levels.

Performance and Optimization

The script is remarkably lightweight. Dartboards only activate when players are nearby, minimizing idle resource usage. The throwing mechanic uses efficient client-side calculations. Score tracking is simple and doesn't tax the server. Multiple simultaneous games at different dartboards run smoothly without performance degradation. This makes it safe to place dartboards liberally across the map without worrying about resource consumption.
