MDT

The MDT (mobile data terminal) is the police computer: records, warrants, reports. ai-core's MDT layer opens the one the server runs, so a radial item, a key or a vehicle laptop in your script opens the right screen. Supported MDTs that can be opened from another script: tgiann-mdt, ps-mdt, wasabi_mdt.

OpenMdtCopy Anchor Link

Opens the active MDT's screen for the local player. The MDT checks the player's job itself and refuses a player who may not use it.

Side: Client · Waits: no

OpenMdt(): boolean

local opened = exports['ai-core']:OpenMdt() -- or aiLib.mdt.open()

ParametersCopy Anchor Link

None.

ReturnsCopy Anchor Link

boolean: true when the active MDT was asked to open. false when no supported MDT runs, or the running one cannot be opened from another script. true does not mean the screen showed: the MDT may still refuse the player's job.

import { RADIAL_VEHICLE } from "@aicore-fivem/shared";
import { Locale } from "common";

// A laptop entry in the vehicle sub menu for on-duty police.
radial.add({
  id: "myscript_mdt",
  label: Locale("RADIAL_MDT"),
  icon: "laptop",
  parent: RADIAL_VEHICLE,
  canShow: () => cache.vehicle !== false && getPlayerData("duty") === "police",
  onPressed: () => {
    if (!mdt.open()) notify(Locale("NO_MDT"), "error");
  },
