QB-AmbulanceJob - EMS/Medical System

The qb-ambulancejob resource provides a comprehensive Emergency Medical Services (EMS) system for QBCore servers, featuring hospital locations, injury mechanics, medical supplies, and emergency response operations.

Overview

QB-AmbulanceJob transforms medical roleplay with realistic injury systems, hospital operations, and emergency response mechanics. Players can work as paramedics, doctors, or other medical professionals while others experience dynamic health and injury systems.

Key Features

  • Hospital Locations: Fully functional hospital buildings with medical equipment
  • Injury System: Realistic injury mechanics with different injury types
  • Medical Supplies: Bandages, painkillers, and advanced medical equipment
  • Ambulance Fleet: Emergency vehicles with medical equipment
  • Respawn System: Death and revival mechanics
  • Medical Records: Patient history and treatment logs
  • Pharmacy System: Prescription and over-the-counter medications
  • Surgery Operations: Complex medical procedures

Installation

Prerequisites

  • QBCore Framework
  • qb-target (for interaction system)
  • qb-menu (for medical menus)
  • qb-input (for medical forms)
  • qb-inventory (for medical items)

Installation Steps

  1. Download the Resource
cd resources/[qb]
git clone https://github.com/qbcore-framework/qb-ambulancejob.git
  1. Database Setup
-- Add ambulance job tables
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `player_meds` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `citizenid` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `type` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `amount` int(11) DEFAULT 0,
  `created_at` timestamp DEFAULT current_timestamp(),
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);
 
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `medical_records` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `citizenid` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `doctor` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `diagnosis` text DEFAULT NULL,
  `treatment` text DEFAULT NULL,
  `date` timestamp DEFAULT current_timestamp(),
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);
 
-- Update players table for injury system
ALTER TABLE `players` ADD COLUMN `injuries` longtext DEFAULT NULL;
ALTER TABLE `players` ADD COLUMN `medical_status` varchar(50) DEFAULT 'healthy';
  1. Add Items to qb-core/shared/items.lua
-- Medical Items
['bandage'] = {
    ['name'] = 'bandage',
    ['label'] = 'Bandage',

    ['useable'] = true,
    ['shouldClose'] = true,
    ['combinable'] = nil,
    ['description'] = 'A bandage to treat wounds'
},
['painkillers'] = {
    ['name'] = 'painkillers',
    ['label'] = 'Painkillers',
    ['weight'] = 50,
    ['type'] = 'item',

end)

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Players Not Reviving Properly

-- Check if revival system is working
if not exports['qb-ambulancejob']:RevivePlayer() then
    print("Revival failed - check permissions and player state")
end

Injury System Not Working

  • Verify database tables are created correctly
  • Check if qb-inventory is properly configured with medical items
  • Ensure damage events are being triggered

Medical Bills Not Processing

-- Verify banking integration
RegisterNetEvent('qb-ambulancejob:server:billPatient', function(targetId, amount)
    local target = QBCore.Functions.GetPlayer(targetId)
    if target then
        target.Functions.RemoveMoney('bank', amount, 'medical-bill')
    end
end)

Debug Commands

-- Add injury for testing (server console)
TriggerEvent('qb-ambulancejob:server:addInjury', playerId, 'head')
 
-- Heal player completely
TriggerEvent('qb-ambulancejob:server:healPlayer', playerId)
 
-- Check player injuries
/checkinjuries [player_id]

Performance Optimization

  1. Injury Checks: Limit injury calculations to prevent performance issues
  2. Database Queries: Use proper indexing on medical tables
  3. Event Optimization: Minimize server-client communication for injury updates

Always test the injury system thoroughly as it directly affects player experience and server stability.
