A modern, configurable airdrop system for FiveM.

Otters Airdrop gives server owners a complete supply drop system with aircraft fly-ins, parachuting crates, configurable loot, KOS zones, live broadcasts and a full admin management panel.

Create airdrops anywhere on the map, choose the loot tier, configure unlock timings and manage every active drop directly through the custom interface.

Aircraft Airdrop System

Otters Airdrop isn't simply a crate spawning command.

When an airdrop is created, a configurable aircraft can fly toward the selected location before releasing the supply crate.

The default aircraft is:

Titan

The aircraft travels toward the drop location before releasing the crate, allowing players to see the airdrop arriving rather than having a supply crate simply appear on the ground.

Server owners can configure:

Aircraft Model • Flight Height • Aircraft Speed • Approach Distance • Fly-Away Distance • Aircraft Blip

The aircraft system can also be disabled completely if your server prefers instant crate drops.

Parachuting Supply Crates

Once the aircraft reaches the airdrop location, the supply crate is released and begins descending toward the ground.

Players can visually follow the crate while it falls before it safely settles onto the surface below.

The crate system includes:

Parachute Descent • Surface Detection • Landing Correction • Flare Effects • Map Blips • Radius Zones • Locked Hologram

The system continuously checks the crate position after landing to help prevent crates remaining incorrectly suspended above the ground.

Configurable Loot Tiers

Create different levels of airdrops using configurable loot tiers.

For example:

Common • Rare • Epic • Military • Event • Custom

Each tier can contain its own selection of items and quantities.

You can configure:

Item Name • Minimum Quantity • Maximum Quantity

This allows different airdrops to offer completely different rewards depending on the event or server economy.

Loot is validated server-side before being awarded.

Active Airdrop Manager

Authorised staff can manage active airdrops directly through the custom interface.

Each active airdrop displays useful information including:

Airdrop ID • Status • Location • Landing Timer • Unlock Timer • KOS Status

Staff can manage drops without needing to restart the resource or manually modify anything through the database or console.

Available management actions include:

Edit • Lock • Unlock • Teleport • Delete

Live Airdrop Status

The management panel displays the current physical stage of each airdrop.

Possible states include:

Inbound • Falling • Locked • Ready

The landing timer updates alongside the actual crate descent, helping ensure the interface accurately represents what players are seeing in-game.

Once the crate has landed, the status automatically changes depending on whether the crate is still locked or ready to loot.

Edit Active Airdrops

Active airdrops can be edited while they are running.

Staff can adjust settings such as:

Unlock Timing • KOS Status • Other Supported Drop Settings

Changes are applied to the active airdrop without requiring the drop to be deleted and recreated.

This allows staff to quickly correct or adjust a live event.

Lock & Unlock Crates

Airdrop crates can be configured to remain locked for a set amount of time after landing.

The unlock duration can be configured when the drop is created.

Staff can also manually:

Lock • Unlock

active crates directly from the management panel.

The system continuously synchronises the crate's latest unlock state so edited timings are applied correctly.

KOS Zones

Airdrops can optionally create a Kill On Sight zone around the drop location.

When enabled, a configurable red radius zone is displayed around the active airdrop.

This makes it easy to clearly identify PvP areas during supply drop events.

Configure your own:

Default KOS Setting • KOS Radius • Zone Behaviour • Post-Loot Removal Delay

After a crate is looted, the KOS zone can remain visible for a configurable number of seconds before disappearing.

Server-Wide Broadcasts

Players can automatically receive notifications when important airdrop events occur.

Broadcasts can be configured for events such as:

Airdrop Incoming • Airdrop Looted

This lets players know when a new supply drop has entered the map and when somebody has successfully claimed it.

Broadcast text can be customised through the configuration.

Notification Integrations

Otters Airdrop supports multiple notification systems.

Choose your preferred integration directly inside the configuration:

Cfg.Integrations = {
    inventory = 'auto',  -- auto | ox_inventory | qb-inventory | qb | qbx | esx | none
    target    = 'auto',  -- auto | ox_target | qb-target | none
    notify    = 'system' -- system | ox_lib | okok | qb | qbx | esx | mythic | chat
}

Supported notification options include:

Built-In System • ox_lib • okokNotify • QBCore • Qbox/QBX • ESX • mythic_notify • Chat

The built-in notification system also supports configurable screen positioning.

Inventory Integrations

Otters Airdrop can automatically detect supported inventory resources.

Supported options include:

ox_inventory • qb-inventory • QBCore • Qbox/QBX • ESX

Inventory integration can also be manually selected through the config if preferred.

Loot rewards are processed server-side and checked before being awarded to the player.

Target Integrations

Crates can be interacted with using supported target resources.

Supported options include:

ox_target • qb-target

Servers that do not use a supported target resource can use the built-in Press E interaction fallback instead.

This allows Otters Airdrop to work across a wider range of server setups without requiring an additional target dependency.

Optional Unlock Requirements

Server owners can configure additional requirements before players are allowed to open an airdrop.

This can include:

Required Item • Unlock Minigame

These options can be enabled or disabled depending on the type of gameplay your server wants.

This makes it possible to create standard supply drops or more difficult high-value drops requiring additional player interaction.

Minimum Players & Cooldowns

Control how frequently airdrops can be created.

Configure:

Minimum Online Players • Airdrop Cooldown

This allows servers to prevent airdrop events from being triggered when player population is too low or too frequently.

Staff Permissions

Access to the Airdrop Management Panel can be controlled using FiveM ACE permissions.

Example:

add_ace group.admin otters_airdrop.admin allow

This keeps Otters Airdrop permissions separate from individual framework admin systems and makes it easy to integrate with your existing server permission setup.

Discord Logging

Keep track of important airdrop activity through configurable Discord webhook logging.

Logs can be sent for events including:

Aircraft Incoming • Crate Ready • Crate Looted

Discord logging can be enabled, disabled and configured directly through the resource.

Multi-Framework Support

Built for:

QBCore • Qbox • ESX

Framework detection can be handled automatically, reducing the amount of setup required when installing the resource.

Manual framework selection is also available if required.

Highly Configurable

Configure your own:

Framework • Inventory • Target • Notifications • Aircraft • Loot Tiers • Item Quantities • Drop Timings • Unlock Timings • KOS Zones • Broadcasts • Blips • Radius Zones • Minimum Players • Cooldowns • Permissions • Discord Logging

The custom UI theme can also be edited separately to match your server's branding.

Standalone Configuration

Otters Airdrop is designed so server owners do not need to modify their framework or other resources to configure the airdrop system.

Framework support, integrations, aircraft settings, loot, permissions, notifications and gameplay options are handled directly through Otters Airdrop.

The following files remain accessible for server owners:

config.lua • theme.css

The remaining supported resource files can be distributed through FiveM Asset Escrow.
