Blip Names

Introduction

With our phone, all GTA 5 map blips are shown on the phone in the Maps application. But there is no native way of getting blip names, so in order to achieve real names of blips, you have to either call an export, OR import a LUA file in the resource that creates blips.

Adding the import to a resource

Find the resource

Find the resource that adds the blips, and open the fxmanifest.lua file.

Edit the resource manifest

Add the following line into the manifest file

client_script '@high-phone/imports/blips.lua'

Voilà, you have working blip names!

Don't forget that you have to repeat this for all resources that add blips. Currently this is the only way, due to there not being any way of getting blip names with the game native functions.

Using an export

You can use this export to set a blip name on the phone's map.
