QB-MultiCharacter - QBCore Guide for FiveM

Introduction

This tutorial turns QB-MultiCharacter into a clean, developer-friendly guide for QBCore/FiveM. You will follow a step-by-step flow, copy the relevant code patterns, and learn the “why” behind the setup.

Requirements

• QBCore installed and running on a dev server
• Basic Lua knowledge and comfort reading FiveM patterns
• A test workflow for iterating safely (dev server, not production)
• Optional: a code editor with Lua/FiveM helpers (VS Code recommended)

Tips & Best Practices

• Keep authority on the server: validate inputs before money/database operations.
• Start with one resource/module at a time, then refactor after you verify it works.
• Use callbacks for request/response flows and events for push/UX updates.
• When you run loops, avoid freezes: always yield with Wait() (client/server) and cache hot values.
