☀️ Weather & Time Controller

Weather & Time Controller is an open-source FiveM client script that allows players to dynamically change the in-game time and weather through an intuitive menu system. This script provides real-time environment control with seamless integration into ESX, making it perfect for roleplay servers and custom gameplay scenarios.

✨ Features

• Change time of day with presets: Morning, Afternoon, Evening
• Change weather conditions on the fly with multiple weather types
• Freezes time at chosen hour/minute for consistent gameplay atmosphere
• Smooth weather transitions and persistent weather effects
• Easy-to-use ESX menu integration with clear notifications
• Commands to open the menu (changetime and changeweather)
• Minimal performance impact with efficient threads
• Planned future enhancements and customization options

⚙️ How it works

The script hooks into ESX menus to provide a user interface for selecting time and weather presets. It uses native FiveM functions to override the server clock and weather, applying changes immediately and persisting them until changed again.

currentHour = 12
currentMinute = 0
freezeTime = true
NetworkOverrideClockTime(currentHour, currentMinute, 0)
PauseClock(true)

Tip

Use the commands /changetime or /changeweather in-game to open the environment control menu quickly.
