Disabling the ESX Ambulance Job Default Death Screen

To remove or disable the death screen in the ESX Ambulance Job, make adjustments to certain functions in client/main.lua. The following instructions guide you through commenting out lines responsible for the visual effects and camera controls associated with the death screen.

---

Step 1: Add esx_ambulancejob:RespawnAtHospital Event

Locate the RemoveItemsAfterRPDeath function and insert the following line below it:

RegisterNetEvent("esx_ambulancejob:RespawnAtHospital", RemoveItemsAfterRPDeath)

Step 2: Modify esx:onPlayerSpawn Event

Locate the esx:onPlayerSpawn event handler. Comment out the lines related to the death screen effects.

Original Code:

AddEventHandler('esx:onPlayerSpawn', function()
  isDead = false
  ClearTimecycleModifier()
  SetPedMotionBlur(PlayerPedId(), false)
  ClearExtraTimecycleModifier()
  EndDeathCam()
  if firstSpawn then
    firstSpawn = false

    if Config.SaveDeathStatus then
      while not ESX.PlayerLoaded do
        Wait(1000)
      end

      ESX.TriggerServerCallback('esx_ambulancejob:getDeathStatus', function(shouldDie)
        if shouldDie then
          Wait(1000)
          SetEntityHealth(PlayerPedId(), 0)
        end
      end)
    end
  end
end)

Updated Code:

AddEventHandler('esx:onPlayerSpawn', function()
  isDead = false
  ClearTimecycleModifier()
  -- SetPedMotionBlur(PlayerPedId(), false)
  -- ClearExtraTimecycleModifier()
  -- EndDeathCam()
  if firstSpawn then
    firstSpawn = false

    if Config.SaveDeathStatus then
      while not ESX.PlayerLoaded do
        Wait(1000)
      end

      ESX.TriggerServerCallback('esx_ambulancejob:getDeathStatus', function(shouldDie)
        if shouldDie then
          Wait(1000)
          SetEntityHealth(PlayerPedId(), 0)
        end
      end)
    end
  end
end)

Step 3: Modify OnPlayerDeath Function

Find the OnPlayerDeath function, then comment out the death screen and camera effect lines.

Original Code:

function OnPlayerDeath()
  ESX.CloseContext()
  ClearTimecycleModifier()
  SetTimecycleModifier("REDMIST_blend")
  SetTimecycleModifierStrength(0.7)
  SetExtraTimecycleModifier("fp_vig_red")
  SetExtraTimecycleModifierStrength(1.0)
  SetPedMotionBlur(PlayerPedId(), true)
  TriggerServerEvent('esx_ambulancejob:setDeathStatus', true)
  StartDeathTimer()
  StartDeathCam()
  isDead = true
  StartDeathLoop()
  StartDistressSignal()
end

Updated Code:

function OnPlayerDeath()
  ESX.CloseContext()
  ClearTimecycleModifier()
  -- SetTimecycleModifier("REDMIST_blend")
  -- SetTimecycleModifierStrength(0.7)
  -- SetExtraTimecycleModifier("fp_vig_red")
  -- SetExtraTimecycleModifierStrength(1.0)
  -- SetPedMotionBlur(PlayerPedId(), true)
  TriggerServerEvent('esx_ambulancejob:setDeathStatus', true)
  -- StartDeathTimer()
  -- StartDeathCam()
  isDead = true
  StartDeathLoop()
  -- StartDistressSignal()
end

Step 4: Modify StartDeathLoop Function

In the StartDeathLoop function, comment out the lines controlling the player's movement restrictions and camera controls. And don't forget to add the Wait(0).

Original Code:

function StartDeathLoop() 
  CreateThread(function()
    while isDead do
      DisableAllControlActions(0)
      EnableControlAction(0, 47, true) -- G 
      EnableControlAction(0, 245, true) -- T
      EnableControlAction(0, 38, true) -- E

      ProcessCamControls()
      if isSearched then
        local playerPed = PlayerPedId()
        local ped = GetPlayerPed(GetPlayerFromServerId(medic))
        isSearched = false

        AttachEntityToEntity(playerPed, ped, 11816, 0.54, 0.54, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, false, false, false, false, 2, true)
        Wait(1000)
        DetachEntity(playerPed, true, false)
        ClearPedTasksImmediately(playerPed)
      end
    end
  end)
end

Updated Code:

function StartDeathLoop() 
  CreateThread(function()
    while isDead do
      -- DisableAllControlActions(0)
      -- EnableControlAction(0, 47, true) -- G 
      -- EnableControlAction(0, 245, true) -- T
      -- EnableControlAction(0, 38, true) -- E

      -- ProcessCamControls()
      if isSearched then
        local playerPed = PlayerPedId()
        local ped = GetPlayerPed(GetPlayerFromServerId(medic))
        isSearched = false

        AttachEntityToEntity(playerPed, ped, 11816, 0.54, 0.54, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, false, false, false, false, 2, true)
        Wait(1000)
        DetachEntity(playerPed, true, false)
        ClearPedTasksImmediately(playerPed)
      end
      Wait(0)
    end
  end)
end

Step 5: Modify esx_ambulancejob:revive Event

In the esx_ambulancejob:revive event handler, comment out the lines that are related to the death screen.

Original Code:

RegisterNetEvent('esx_ambulancejob:revive')
AddEventHandler('esx_ambulancejob:revive', function()
  local playerPed = PlayerPedId()
  local coords = GetEntityCoords(playerPed)
  TriggerServerEvent('esx_ambulancejob:setDeathStatus', false)

  DoScreenFadeOut(800)

  while not IsScreenFadedOut() do
    Wait(50)
  end

  local formattedCoords = {x = ESX.Math.Round(coords.x, 1), y = ESX.Math.Round(coords.y, 1), z = ESX.Math.Round(coords.z, 1)}

  RespawnPed(playerPed, formattedCoords, 0.0)
  isDead = false
  ClearTimecycleModifier()
  SetPedMotionBlur(playerPed, false)
  ClearExtraTimecycleModifier()
  EndDeathCam() 
  DoScreenFadeIn(800)
end)

Updated Code:

RegisterNetEvent('esx_ambulancejob:revive')
AddEventHandler('esx_ambulancejob:revive', function()
  local playerPed = PlayerPedId()
  local coords = GetEntityCoords(playerPed)
  TriggerServerEvent('esx_ambulancejob:setDeathStatus', false)

  DoScreenFadeOut(800)

  while not IsScreenFadedOut() do
    Wait(50)
  end

  local formattedCoords = {x = ESX.Math.Round(coords.x, 1), y = ESX.Math.Round(coords.y, 1), z = ESX.Math.Round(coords.z, 1)}

  RespawnPed(playerPed, formattedCoords, 0.0)
  isDead = false
  -- ClearTimecycleModifier()
  -- SetPedMotionBlur(playerPed, false)
  -- ClearExtraTimecycleModifier()
  -- EndDeathCam() 
  DoScreenFadeIn(800)
end)
