FiveM VFX Creator
A FiveM particle effect is a .ypt file the game draws in real time, like an aura, a portal or fireworks. This browser tool builds new ones from scratch: pick one of 22 effects, describe one to the AI or stack your own layers, then download a resource with a /vfx command.
Give your server effects no other city has. Pick a ready effect, describe a new one in a sentence or build it layer by layer, without CodeWalker or a particle editor. You see it live on the freemode ped, and the download is a real .ypt that the game draws itself.
How it works
- 1
Start from an effect
Choose from 22 effects made from scratch, like Power Aura, Portal, Hearts, Fireworks or Money Rain, or describe a new one and let the AI write it.
- 2
Shape every layer
Up to 6 layers, each with its own texture or your logo, colours, amount, size, where particles appear and how they move.
- 3
Watch it on the ped
The preview runs on the freemode ped, man or woman, by day or by night, so you can judge the scale before you download.
- 4
Download and use /vfx
Put the resource in your server and add ensure to server.cfg. /vfx turns an effect on over a player, or leaves it fixed in a place for everyone.
Features
Real game particles
The download holds a .ypt built from scratch, so effects run in the game's own particle system instead of being a script that fakes them.
Your logo as a particle
Upload a PNG and it becomes a particle, ideal for a server logo floating over an event or an admin.
Effects that light the scene
A layer can cast real light, so a portal or an aura tints the ground and the people standing near it.
Ready for your scripts
Exports let other resources play an effect on a ped or at a position, and placed effects stay after a restart.
Why not make particles by hand
Editing a .ypt usually means learning a particle editor, changing values with no preview and restarting the game to look at the result, and one wrong setting can crash it. Here the limits are built in, so an effect cannot ask for more than the game can handle.
- No particle editor to learn
- Live preview on the freemode ped
- Built-in limits keep the game stable
- Send it straight to your server with ORB Core
Frequently asked questions
How do I add custom particles to FiveM?
Design the effect here, download the resource, put it in your resources folder and add ensure to server.cfg. The .ypt goes in stream/ and the resource loads it for you.
Who can use the /vfx command?
Admins by default. You can allow other groups with add_ace lines, or set Config.Everyone in config.lua so every player can use effects on themselves. The README explains both.
Can other players see the effects?
Yes. An effect on a player is visible to everyone close by, and a placed effect is there for everyone and stays after a restart.
Does the AI cost credits?
Describing an effect to the AI comes with every paid plan and the Pro Pass: each effect it writes costs 2 credits, refunded if it fails. Building effects by hand is open to everyone. Each download costs 5 credits on the Free plan and is unlimited on paid plans.
