Since forming London Studios in April 2020 we've created a number of high quality and premium resources for the FiveM project, focusing on the emergency services and aiming to bring your server to the next level.
Although we made a number of free resources such as this one in the first year, we've now switched to creating paid content, keeping them constantly updated and working along with providing the best possible support to our customers.
Our most popular resources now include Smart Fires, Police Grappler and Smart Hose.
With thousands of happy customers we are confident you'll love our resources and our active support team are on hand to help if you have any questions!

Therefore, this resource is now likely out of date and is no longer supported by us. The full source code is available should you wish to make any changes. All of our paid resources however are constantly updated and we invite you to take a look!
SmartTape is a FiveM police tape resource allowing you to secure scenes with different tapes, which we believe is a first for FiveM. You can easily add tape in an area, move tape and set the length all from a simple menu. We've included a police tape model with three variants, a british police tape, inner corden tape and fire tape. You have the ability to customise these textures and change the name for the menu.
This plugin is made by LondonStudios, we have created a variety of releases including TaserFramework, SearchHandler, ActivateAlarm, SmartTester, SmartSounds, CustodyAlarm, SmartObservations and more!

/tape - Open or close the tape management menu. You can press F10 (changeable) to open this menu. You can now change the default keybind used by all players.
This command is configurable in Settings > Keybinds > FiveM. Every player can select their own keybind.
Creating a new tape: To create a new tape, press F10 or use /tape to open the menu. Press "Create new tape" and select the size. Next, press the type of tape, these are configurable in the config.ini.
You are then able to move around and change the position of the tape. Press E to set the tape down. Press UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW to move the tape up and down.
Managing tape: You are only able to move or delete your own tape. This may be changed in a future update. Open the menu using F10 or /tape. Press "Manage Tape", you must be nearby a tape. Next, you can either move the tape or delete the tape from the menu.
- Create a new resource folder on your server.
- Add the contents of "resource" inside it. This includes: "Client.net.dll", "fxmanifest.lua", "config.ini", "SharpConfig.dll", "NativeUI.dll", "stream"
- In server.cfg, "ensure" SmartTape, to make it load with your server startup.
The "config.ini" file allows you to change the names of the tape that they appear in, for the menu. This may allow you to change the tape textures, for example if you wanted to change the fire tape to a police tape.
[SmartTape]
Tape1 = Police Tape
Tape2 = Inner Cordon Tape
Tape3 = Fire Tape
Keybind = F10
On line 2, you can change the name of the first tape. On line 3, you can change the name of the second tape. On line 4, you can change the name of the third tape. On line 5, you can change the default keybind for all players.
You are not able to add more tapes at this time, we may add this in the near future!
Changing textures: You have the ability to change textures of the three police tapes. Texture dictionary file names: Police Tape 1: p_clothtarp_s.ytd Police Tape 2: prop_cordon_tape.ytd Police Tape 3: prop_fire_tape.ytd
Please find the source code in the "src" folder. Please ensure you follow the licence in "LICENCE.md".
We appreciate feedback, bugs and suggestions related to SmartTape and future plugins. We hope you enjoy using the resource and look forward to hearing from people!
If you encounter any bugs or errors with the plugin, we encourage you to report them and we will actively fix them. We are also looking for suggestions on how we can improve this, ensuring all users get the best possible experience.
Please note there are no physics currently with the tapes and they do not move in the wind, we may look into this for the future - stay tuned for more updates!
We could not have made this plugin without the help of a third party modeller. We'd like to thank Adam Fenton for creating the 3D model, and L.Walker for texturing the police tape! We hope to work with them in the future.
We've really enjoyed making this plugin. Take a look at some screenshots of the plugin in action.
