Overview

Metal Detecting

Every script Lation makes ends up #1 in its category, and Metal Detecting is no exception. Players grab a detector, follow the beeps, and dig up whatever is buried beneath them. Out of the box you get 50+ preconfigured items to discover, a built-in leveling system, 5 custom metal detector props and a shop to sell the loot. Criminal scripts get all the attention, but a social activity like this is what keeps players logged in between heists.

Detector tiers that actually matter

The 5 detectors are not reskins. Each one is assigned to a level you choose, and each carries its own loot pool, its own cooldown and its own search radius. A fresh player on the starter detector digs up different loot than someone who has leveled into the top tier.

Leveling and stats

You set how much XP every item rewards and how much experience each level requires. Players can check their stats and progress at any time, and the script tracks their total items found and money earned.

Make it yours

  • Add an unlimited amount of items
  • Set the quantity rewarded for each item
  • Set what each item sells for
  • Tune the chance to find each item
  • Configure which soil types can be detected on
  • Customize all animations and props
  • Disable keys of your choosing while detecting
  • Highly detailed Discord webhook logs

Open source where it counts

The bridge and function files ship open source, so wiring the script into your setup or changing core behavior is straightforward. Works with ESX, QBCore and Qbox.
