A combat-lockout system for FiveM / ESX. After a player is revived or respawns, a configurable combat timeout (default 10 min) prevents them from attacking, auto-disarms if they pull a weapon, applies an injured walking animation, and shows a fade-in on-screen countdown. Admins can clear timeouts individually or in a radius.

​
Features

  • Auto-triggered after respawn (default: esx_ambulancejob:setDeathStatus)
  • Disables melee + aim controls while active
  • Auto-disarm if the player pulls a weapon
  • Injured walking clipset (move_m@injured) applied + prior walkstyle restored on exit
  • Fade-in mm:ss on-screen timer
  • Per-player GlobalState sync — survives relogs, auto-expires server-side
  • Admin commands — /removetimeout [playerId] + /removetimeoutarea [radius]
  • Exempt hook — FFA / duel / combat modes bypass the timeout
  • en/de localization
