Restored support after ox_inventory support was restored

QBCore to Ox Conversion Guide

This guide provides a complete step-by-step process to convert a QBCore-based script to work with Ox-related resources such as ox_core, ox_target, ox_inventory, and ox_lib.

Requirements

Ensure you have the following Ox resources installed:

• ox_core: GitHub
• ox_target: GitHub
• ox_inventory: GitHub
• ox_lib: GitHub

---

1. Converting QBCore Functions to ox_core

Player Data Retrieval

Replace QBCore functions with Ox equivalents.

Before:

local Player = QBCore.Functions.GetPlayer(source)
local identifier = Player.PlayerData.citizenid

After:

local Player = exports.ox_core:GetPlayer(source)
local identifier = Player.charid

Checking Player Jobs

Before:

if Player.PlayerData.job.name == "police" then
    -- Do something
end

After:

if Player.getGroup() == "police" then
    -- Do something
end

Getting Money

Before:

local cash = Player.Functions.GetMoney("cash")

After:

local cash = Player.getAccount("cash").amount

Adding/Removing Money

Before:

Player.Functions.AddMoney("bank", 500)
Player.Functions.RemoveMoney("cash", 100)

After:

Player.addAccountMoney("bank", 500)
Player.removeAccountMoney("cash", 100)

2. Replacing qb-target with ox_target

If your script uses qb-target, update it to ox_target.

Before:

exports['qb-target']:AddBoxZone("example", vector3(123.4, 567.8, 9.1), 1.5, 1.5, {
    name = "example",
    heading = 0,
    debugPoly = false,
    minZ = 8.9,
    maxZ = 10.5,
}, {
    options = {
        {
            type = "client",
            event = "example:event",
            icon = "fas fa-box",
            label = "Interact",
        }
    },
    distance = 2.0
})

After:

exports['ox_target']:addBoxZone({
    coords = vec3(123.4, 567.8, 9.1),
    size = vec3(1.5, 1.5, 1.6),
    rotation = 0,
    debug = false,
    options = {
        {
            event = "example:event",
            icon = "fas fa-box",
            label = "Interact",
        }
    }
})

3. Updating qb-menu to ox_lib Context Menus

If your script uses qb-menu, switch to ox_lib's context menu system.

Before:

exports['qb-menu']:openMenu({
    {
        header = "Main Menu",
        isMenuHeader = true
    },
    {
        header = "Option 1",
        txt = "Do something",
        params = {
            event = "example:event"
        }
    }
})

After:

lib.registerContext({
    id = 'main_menu',
    title = "Main Menu",
    options = {
        {
            title = "Option 1",
            description = "Do something",
            event = "example:event"
        }
    }
})
lib.showContext("main_menu")

---

4. Replacing qb-inventory with ox_inventory

Adding Items

Before:

Player.Functions.AddItem("example_item", 1)
TriggerClientEvent("inventory:client:ItemBox", source, QBCore.Shared.Items["example_item"], "add")

After:

exports['ox_inventory']:AddItem(source, "example_item", 1)

Removing Items

Before:

Player.Functions.RemoveItem("example_item", 1)

After:

exports['ox_inventory']:RemoveItem(source, "example_item", 1)

Checking Item Count

Before:

local itemCount = Player.Functions.GetItemByName("example_item").amount

After:

local itemCount = exports['ox_inventory']:GetItem(source, "example_item", false)

---

5. Using ox_lib Notifications

If your script uses QBCore.Functions.Notify, switch to ox_lib notifications.

Before:

QBCore.Functions.Notify("This is a message", "success")

After:

lib.notify({
    title = "Notification",
    description = "This is a message",
    type = "success"
})
