Game Events

Game events are triggered by the GTA V engine when certain actions occur in the game world. Use AddEventHandler or CEventHandler to listen for these events. Treat event arguments as version-sensitive engine data: verify the event name and payload before using it for gameplay, logging, or enforcement.

Quick Usage

-- Listen for shocking events using a game event handler
AddEventHandler("gameEventTriggered", function(name, args)
    if name == "CEventShockingGunshotFired" then
        print("Gunshot detected!")
    end
end)

// JavaScript equivalent
on("gameEventTriggered", (name, args) => {
    if (name === "CEventShockingGunshotFired") {
        console.log("Gunshot detected!");
    }
});

Source scope and usage notes

These names describe low-level GTA game events surfaced through gameEventTriggered, not a list of custom RegisterNetEvent handlers. Many payloads are undocumented. Do not infer argument positions or security guarantees from an event name; validate payload shape for the game build you run.
