Have a question or encounter an issue while running fs_placeables? Check the common questions and error solutions below.

❓ Q: "Attempt to index a nil value (field 'FWB')" on server start?

Cause

This occurs when fs_bridge is missing, stopped, or started after fs_placeables in your server.cfg.

Solution

1. Ensure fs_bridge is present inside your resources/[fs]/ directory.
2. In your server.cfg, ensure fs_bridge is started before fs_placeables:

   ensure fs_bridge
   ensure fs_placeables

❓ Q: Why does /placeprop show an empty menu?

Cause

The player has no items in their inventory that match the names defined in Config.Items in config/config.lua.

Solution

1. Open fs_placeables/config/config.lua.
2. Ensure the item names configured in Config.Items (e.g. cash, money, burger, water_bottle) match your framework/inventory item names exactly.
3. Give your character that item in-game and try /placeprop again.

❓ Q: Props spawn as a default cardboard box instead of the item model?

Cause

The prop model name specified in Config.Items is invalid, misspelled, or failing to load in GTA V. The script automatically falls back to Config.defaultprop (hei_prop_heist_box) to prevent crashes.

Solution

1. Verify the model hash name in Config.Items (e.g. prop_cash_pile_01, prop_ecola_can).
2. If using custom streamed addon props, ensure the prop's .ydr and .ytyp are loaded on the server before fs_placeables.
