Every other AFK script in FiveM is a punishment: a timer, a warning, a kick. This one does the opposite. A player who sits still in a vehicle has their camera taken over by a cinematic orbit of their car — depth of field, cuts that land on the beat, music underneath. Touch any control and they are back in the driver's seat instantly.

Nobody is kicked, warned, or timed out. Ever.

What you get

A camera, not a kick

Idle in a vehicle and the screen fades, the HUD hides, and the camera moves to a chosen angle on the car. Shots cut from one to the next for as long as the player is away. Any input at all — steering, throttle, even a nudge of the mouse — fades them straight back to gameplay, including part-way through the fade.

Author shots by flying the camera

/tafkedit freezes your car and drops you into a free-fly camera around it. Fly to where the shot should begin and press 1. Move to where it should end and press 2. Press 3 to preview, 4 to save.

Saving pushes it to every connected player straight away. Naming, per-shot toggles, depth of field, and whether a shot is global or locked to that one vehicle model all live in the same overlay.

The director picks the shot, not a shuffle

Before every cut, each candidate shot is raycast — along its path and at both ends. Angles that clip the car, sit too close, are blocked by a trailer, repeat something from the last three cuts, or start far from where the previous shot ended all lose points. Whatever survives goes into a weighted draw.

Shot offsets scale to the vehicle as well, from 0.8× to 2.5× of its bounding box, so one shot frames a motorbike and an articulated truck without being re-authored.

Cuts land on the beat

The interface analyses the playing track in the browser, finds its tempo, and hands the timing back to the game. Each shot is then held for the beat-aligned length closest to a random target, with an anticipation offset so the cut lands with the beat rather than just after it.

The music is yours: drop any .ogg, .mp3, or .wav into audio/ and it joins the rotation on the next restart. No naming convention, no manifest. If a track's tempo can't be read, shot lengths fall back to random and everything else carries on working.

Or point it at a live station

Instead of the folder, tAFK can play a live internet radio stream, and still cut on its beat — it plays a configurable number of seconds behind the broadcast and analyses the audio that has arrived but not yet been heard, so the beats are known before the player hears them.

It is off by default, and switching it on means every AFK player opens their own connection to the station. If the stream cannot be reached or cannot be analysed, tAFK says so once in the console and falls back to the audio/ folder for the rest of the session — never to silence.

Every player owns their settings

/tafk gives each player a master switch, music and volume overrides, a hide-HUD toggle, and per-shot opt-outs. All of it survives a relog. Your server settings are the starting point; a player's own choice wins on their machine.

Vehicles can bring their own shots

A vehicle resource can ship shots for its own model by adding one line to its manifest:

tafk_config 'tafk.json'

Every running resource is scanned at boot and whenever one starts, and matching shots are merged in automatically. Your own edits always win over a pack's.
