Exports | 0Resmon

CrossLab exposes a few exports so you can interact with it from other resources — useful if you want to open the menu through a different UI, sync crosshair settings with something else, or build on top of the system.

These are called from client scripts in another resource.

-- Open / close the crosshair menu
exports['s4-crosslab']:openMenu()
exports['s4-crosslab']:closeMenu()

-- Check if the menu is currently open
local open = exports['s4-crosslab']:isMenuOpen()  -- returns boolean

-- Get the current crosshair settings table
local settings = exports['s4-crosslab']:getCrosshairSettings()

The settings table returned by getCrosshairSettings is the same structure as Config.DefaultCrosshair:

{
    crosshairEnabled  = true,
    crosshairStyle    = 4,
    size              = 3,
    thickness         = 1,
    gap               = -3,
    fixedGap          = -25,
    csColor           = 1,
    colorR            = 46,
    colorG            = 250,
    colorB            = 46,
    alpha             = 200,
    useAlpha          = true,
    dotEnabled        = false,
    tStyleEnabled     = false,
    outlineEnabled    = false,
    outlineThickness  = 1,
}

These are called from server scripts in another resource.

-- Get the saved crosshair settings for a player (returns nil if not loaded yet)
local settings = exports['s4-crosslab']:getCrosshairSettings(source)

-- Overwrite a player's crosshair and sync it to their client immediately
local ok = exports['s4-crosslab']:setCrosshairSettings(source, {
    crosshairEnabled = true,
    crosshairStyle   = 2,
    size             = 4,
    -- etc.
})

setCrosshairSettings saves the data to the player's file and triggers a client sync right away. It returns true on success, false if you passed a nil data table.

Notes#

Settings are cached in memory on the server as soon as a player loads. getCrosshairSettings reads from that cache, not the file, so it's fast.
If you call setCrosshairSettings before the player has fully loaded, the data will still be saved to file and applied next time they trigger s4-crosslab:playerLoaded.
