Safezone Script - Protected Areas for Your FiveM Server

Create designated safe zones across your FiveM server where combat, weapon usage, and hostile actions are completely restricted. This safezone script provides essential protection for spawn points, government buildings, hospitals, and other locations where you want to ensure player safety and prevent griefing. Perfect for serious roleplay servers that need clearly defined protected areas.

What's Included

A fully configurable safezone system that automatically detects when players enter or exit protected areas. The script disables combat mechanics, prevents weapon drawing, and can optionally enforce speed limits or vehicle restrictions within zones. Each zone is independently configurable with custom radiuses, notification messages, and rule sets tailored to your server's needs.

Key Features

• Unlimited Safe Zones - Define as many protected areas as needed across the entire map
• Combat Prevention - Automatically disables weapon usage and melee attacks within zones
• Customizable Radiuses - Set individual zone sizes from small buildings to entire districts
• Vehicle Restrictions - Optional speed limits or complete vehicle bans in sensitive areas
• Visual Notifications - Clear on-screen alerts when entering or exiting safe zones
• Map Blips - Optional zone markers visible on the map for player awareness
• Performance Optimized - Minimal resource usage even with multiple active zones
• AFK Protection - Optional handling for idle players in safe areas

Perfect For

• Protecting hospital spawn points from spawn killing
• Government buildings like police stations and courthouses
• Shopping districts and marketplaces for peaceful trading
• Garages and vehicle dealerships to prevent theft during browsing
• Community gathering spots like parks or event venues
• Job centers and employment offices

How It Works

The script continuously monitors player positions and compares them against configured zone coordinates. When a player enters a safezone radius, combat abilities are instantly disabled and a notification displays the zone rules. Attempting to draw weapons, attack, or violate zone restrictions triggers warning messages. Upon leaving the zone, normal gameplay mechanics automatically resume.

What Makes It Stand Out

This safezone script strikes the perfect balance between protection and performance. Unlike heavy scripts that cause lag with complex polygon zones, this system uses efficient circular radiuses that deliver instant response with negligible resource usage. The configuration flexibility means each zone can have unique rules - a hospital might only prevent combat while a government building could restrict both weapons and vehicles. The clear visual feedback ensures players always know when they're protected, reducing confusion and support tickets.

Common Safezone Locations

Pillbox Hospital - Protect the main spawn point and emergency services area from attackers targeting respawning players.

Mission Row PD - Secure police headquarters and prevent station raids during officer breaks.

Legion Square - Create a peaceful meeting area in the city center for events and gatherings.

Premium Deluxe Motorsport - Allow vehicle browsing without fear of carjacking or shootouts.

Maze Bank - Protect ATM users and bank customers during financial transactions.

Configuration Options

Each safezone supports extensive customization. Define the exact coordinates and radius size, choose whether to show map blips, set custom entry and exit messages, enable or disable specific restrictions like combat, weapons, or vehicles, and configure speed limits for driving within zones. The notification system is fully translatable for multi-language servers. You can even set job-specific rules, allowing police to carry weapons in zones where civilians cannot.

Anti-Griefing Protection

The script includes smart abuse prevention mechanics. Players cannot exploit safe zones by entering during combat to escape consequences - the system can detect recent combat engagement and apply cooldowns. Optional AFK detection prevents zone camping by idle players. Vehicle ramming can be restricted separately from general vehicle usage, stopping players from using cars as weapons within protected areas.
