Replacing ox_lib notify

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

🔁 Replacing ox_lib Notify

If your server already uses ox_lib notifications, you can fully redirect them to orbit-dynamichud without rewriting your existing scripts.

This allows all calls to:

lib.notify({...})

to automatically use the Orbit Dynamic HUD notification system instead.

---

📂 File Location

Navigate to:

ox_lib/resource/interface/client/notify.lua

This is the file where lib.notify() is defined on the client side.

---

✏️ What To Change

Find the existing function:

---`client`
---@param data NotifyProps
---@diagnostic disable-next-line: duplicate-set-field
function lib.notify(data)
    -- original ox_lib logic
end

Replace the entire function with:

---`client`
---@param data NotifyProps
---@diagnostic disable-next-line: duplicate-set-field
function lib.notify(data)
    TriggerEvent('orbit-dynamichud:notify', data)
end

That’s it.

You are now redirecting all lib.notify() calls directly to Orbit Dynamic HUD.

---

🧠 What This Does

Before:

lib.notify() → ox_lib UI notification

After:

lib.notify() → orbit-dynamichud notification system

This means:

• No script edits required elsewhere

• Full compatibility with existing resources

• Centralized notification styling

• Orbit HUD sound + design system automatically applied

---

✅ Compatibility

orbit-dynamichud supports the standard ox_lib notification structure:

lib.notify({
    id = 'my_id',
    title = 'Title',
    description = 'Description text',
    type = 'success',
    duration = 5000,
    icon = 'check',
    iconColor = '#22c55e'
})

All supported fields will behave as expected.

---

⚠️ Important Notes

• This change must be done client-side.

• It is recommended that you do this change before server start to prevent unforeseen issues.

• Restart ox_lib after making the modification.

• If you update ox_lib in the future, you will need to reapply this change.

• It is recommended to document this modification internally for your server team.

---

🎯 Result

After completing this step, your entire server will use:

Orbit Dynamic HUD notifications while keeping full compatibility with scripts built around ox_lib.
