How to Set Up Automated Messages on Your FiveM Server

txAdmin includes built-in announcement and scheduled restart features.

Scheduled Restart Warnings

txAdmin automatically sends countdown warnings before scheduled restarts at 30, 15, 10, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 minutes. Configure restart schedules in txAdmin under Settings → Restart Schedule.

Manual Announcements

From the txAdmin dashboard, use the Announce feature to broadcast a message to all connected players immediately.

Custom Announcement Handling

To use your own announcement UI instead of the default, add to server.cfg:

setr txAdmin-hideDefaultAnnouncement true
setr txAdmin-hideDefaultScheduledRestartWarning true

Your resources can listen for txAdmin:events:announcement and txAdmin:events:scheduledRestart events to display custom notifications.

For timed recurring messages (e.g., "Join our Discord" every 15 minutes), use a dedicated announcement resource.

ensure my_announcement_resource

FiveM has no built-in convar for simple timed chat messages — a resource is required for recurring automated announcements.
