FiveM Drone Script - Advanced Aerial Surveillance & Reconnaissance System

Elevate your law enforcement and investigative roleplay with this sophisticated drone script that adds realistic aerial surveillance capabilities to your FiveM server. Trusted by 33+ servers, this standalone-compatible system enables police, detectives, and tactical units to deploy drones for suspect tracking, area reconnaissance, crowd monitoring, and evidence gathering from the sky.

What's Included

This comprehensive drone system provides a fully-functional aerial vehicle with realistic flight physics, camera controls, and surveillance features. You get deployable drone units that officers can pilot from a dedicated controller interface, live camera feed with zoom capabilities, thermal imaging for suspect detection, GPS coordinate marking for evidence documentation, and automatic return-to-operator functionality. The script includes configurable permissions so only authorized jobs (police, FBI, tactical units) can access drone equipment, preventing civilian abuse while enabling professional investigative work.

Key Features

Realistic Flight Controls - Smooth drone movement with altitude control, rotation, speed adjustment, and stabilization physics
Live Camera Feed - First-person POV camera view from drone perspective with pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities
Thermal Imaging - Toggle heat-signature vision mode to detect suspects hiding in buildings, vehicles, or dense terrain
GPS Waypoint Marking - Drop location markers from aerial view to coordinate tactical teams and mark evidence sites
Return Home Function - Automatic return-to-operator command brings drone back to deployment location safely
Battery System - Limited flight time creates realistic operational constraints requiring strategic deployment timing
Altitude Restrictions - Configurable maximum height prevents unrealistic long-range surveillance and server performance issues
Permission Controls - Job-based access restrictions ensure only authorized law enforcement can deploy drones

Perfect For

Serious police roleplay servers requiring advanced investigative tools
Tactical units needing aerial reconnaissance before raids and operations
Detective divisions tracking suspects and gathering surveillance evidence
SWAT/tactical teams coordinating entry points and monitoring suspect movement
Servers wanting to reduce meta-gaming with realistic information-gathering mechanics

Technical Details

File Size: Lightweight script (~5-10 MB) with minimal resource footprint
Performance: Optimized camera rendering maintains 50+ FPS during drone operations
Compatibility: Works standalone or integrates with ESX/QBCore/QBOX frameworks
Customization: Configure flight speed, battery life, altitude limits, and job permissions in config file

Installation

Extract FiveM drone script folder to your resources directory
Add ensure [drone-folder-name] to server.cfg
Configure authorized jobs in config.lua (default: police, sheriff, fbi)
Set battery duration, altitude limits, and thermal imaging availability
Restart server and test deployment command (/drone or job-specific command)
Optional: Integrate with MDT systems to log drone surveillance footage and evidence

Framework Compatibility

✅ ESX - Integrates with ESX job system for police/detective/FBI access control
✅ QBCore/QBOX - Compatible with QB police jobs and evidence/MDT systems
✅ Standalone - Functions independently without framework requirements (ACE permission based)

What Makes It Stand Out

This drone script transforms how police investigations and tactical operations unfold on your server. Instead of god-mode admin spectating or unrealistic wallhacks, officers must deploy drones strategically - consuming battery life and requiring someone to pilot while others execute the operation. The thermal imaging creates realistic suspect detection mechanics for nighttime pursuits or building searches. Detectives can gather aerial evidence of crime scenes, drug operations, or illegal racing events without immediately engaging suspects. SWAT teams can scout building layouts and entry points before executing high-risk warrants. The GPS waypoint system enables coordinated multi-unit responses with marked positions visible to entire departments. With 33+ servers using this drone system, it's become essential for serious police roleplay - adding skill-based surveillance mechanics that separate professional investigators from casual cops. The battery limitation prevents drone camping, while altitude restrictions maintain server performance and prevent excessive long-range surveillance abuse.

Tactical Applications

Suspect Tracking: Follow fleeing suspects through complex terrain without direct vehicle pursuit
Raid Planning: Scout building layouts, count suspects, identify weapons before tactical entry
Crowd Monitoring: Oversee large events, protests, or gatherings for officer safety and incident detection
Search Operations: Locate missing persons, crashed vehicles, or hidden evidence in large areas
Traffic Enforcement: Monitor highway speeds, illegal racing, and pursuit routes from aerial perspective
Evidence Documentation: Capture aerial footage of crime scenes for court proceedings and investigations
Perimeter Security: Establish containment zones during active situations by monitoring escape routes
Intelligence Gathering: Observe suspected criminal operations (chop shops, drug labs) without alerting suspects

Operational Mechanics

Realistic drone deployment workflow:

Authorized officer uses deployment command (/drone) or inventory item
Drone spawns at player location, officer enters controller mode
UI displays battery percentage, altitude, GPS coordinates, and camera controls
Officer pilots drone to target area using keyboard controls (WASD + altitude keys)
Toggle thermal imaging to detect heat signatures through walls/vegetation
Drop GPS markers for team coordination and evidence documentation
Monitor battery - return drone before depletion or lose equipment
Exit controller mode returns officer to normal gameplay, drone auto-lands

Configuration Options

Authorized Jobs: Set which jobs can deploy drones (police, sheriff, fbi, detectives)
Battery Duration: Configure flight time limits (default 5-10 minutes)
Altitude Ceiling: Set maximum height to prevent server-wide surveillance
Thermal Imaging: Enable/disable heat vision or restrict to specific units (SWAT only)
Deployment Method: Command-based or inventory item requirement
GPS Markers: Allow waypoint dropping and configure marker persistence time
