All languages supported
Fully-animated hostage mechanics for heists and standoffs. Grab, escort, ransom, and negotiate — works with ESX, QBCore, and Qbox.
Transform your FiveM roleplay server with Overflow's premium hostage-taking script. This powerful resource allows players to take NPCs hostage at gunpoint, restrain them with cuffs, use them as human shields, carry them on shoulders, force them to kneel, make them follow, and transport them in vehicles with intelligent seat detection. Designed for QBCore, ESX, and QBox frameworks with automatic detection, this FiveM script seamlessly integrates with popular inventory systems including ox_inventory and qb-inventory, plus dispatch systems like cd_dispatch and origen_police for automatic law enforcement alerts. Featuring proximity and aim-based targeting modes, real-time chunk-based synchronization for optimal performance on high-population servers, dynamic NPC behavior with configurable refusal chances, and a sleek React-powered radial menu with multiple style options including ox_lib context menu support. Overflow's hostage resource is the ultimate solution for roleplay servers looking to enhance criminal gameplay with realistic bank heists, kidnapping scenarios, hostage negotiations, and high-stakes standoffs. Fully configurable with minimum cop requirements, time restrictions, item conditions, ped and weapon blacklists, and complete localization support. Built with modern technologies including React 19, Vite, TailwindCSS, and ox_lib for a polished and immersive experience. Multi-language ready with English and Spanish included.

Overflow Hostage gives players five distinct control states over any NPC: aim at gunpoint, restrain with cuffs, grab as a human shield, carry over the shoulder, or order to follow. Every state triggers the correct animation and syncs across all nearby clients in real time — no glitchy rubber-banding. Ideal for bank heists, kidnapping scenarios, and high-stakes police standoffs.

Overflow Hostage detects your FiveM server's framework and inventory system on startup — no manual config edits. ox_inventory and qb-inventory are supported out of the box for the cuff item requirement. Drop the resource into your server folder, add it to server.cfg, and it works.

All hostage actions — grab, carry, cuff, release — are synchronized for every player within range using a chunk-based netcode approach. NPC entity state persists throughout long roleplay scenarios without desync or entity resets. The script maintains hostage integrity even when players move between network chunks during extended heist sequences.

NPCs don't comply blindly — Overflow Hostage gives each hostage attempt a configurable chance to trigger a resistance animation and flee response. Failed attempts enforce a cooldown to prevent repeated spam. When the NPC cooperates, it transitions into the correct follow or carry animation naturally, without interrupting the scene.
