Replacing ESX notify

This page will contain information about how to replace the ESX notifications with orbit-dynamichud's built-in notification system.

🔁 Replacing ESX Notify (New esx_notify Based Version)

If your ESX installation uses:

ESX.ShowNotification(...)

inside:

es_extended/client/functions.lua

you need to override that logic and redirect it to orbit-dynamichud.

---

📂 File Location

Open:

es_extended/client/functions.lua

Locate:

---@param message string The message to show
---@param notifyType? string The type of notification to show
---@param length? number The length of the notification
---@param title? string The title of the notification
---@param position? string The position of the notification
---@return nil
function ESX.ShowNotification(message, notifyType, length, title, position)
	return IsResourceFound('esx_notify') and exports['esx_notify']:Notify(notifyType or "info", length or 5000, message, title, position)
end

---

✏️ Replace It With

Replace the entire function with:

---@param message string The message to show
---@param notifyType? string The type of notification to show
---@param length? number The length of the notification
---@param title? string The title of the notification
---@param position? string The position of the notification
---@return nil
function ESX.ShowNotification(message, notifyType, length, title, position)
    local data = {
        title = title or nil,
        description = message,
        duration = length or 5000,
        type = notifyType or "info",
    }

    TriggerEvent('orbit-dynamichud:notify', data)
end

---

🧠 What Changed?

Before:

ESX.ShowNotification → esx_notify export → ESX UI

After:

ESX.ShowNotification → orbit-dynamichud notification system

This completely bypasses esx_notify.

All scripts using:

ESX.ShowNotification("Vehicle stored")

or

ESX.ShowNotification("You don't have enough money", "error", 5000, "Bank")

will now use Orbit Dynamic HUD notifications automatically.

---

⚠️ Important Notes

• position is no longer used (Orbit controls its own positioning).

• You can safely remove the IsResourceFound('esx_notify') logic.

• It is recommended to apply this before server start.

• Restart es_extended after making the change.

• If ESX updates, you will need to reapply this modification.

---

🎯 Result

After this modification, your entire ESX server will use:

Orbit Dynamic HUD notifications

while maintaining full compatibility with all existing ESX-based scripts.
