class Runtime

package fivem.shared

@:directlyUsed@:native("_G")

Hand-written externs for natives that exist in both the client and server apisets but which FiveM's native database tags per-environment, so they land in fivem.client.natives.* and fivem.server.natives.* separately and never in fivem.shared.natives.*.

Code under fivem.shared can't reach either env-specific copy without breaking the one-classpath split, so the handful that shared code genuinely needs are re-declared here. Like CoreEvents and Citizen, this file is hand-written and kept out of natives/ so regeneration never touches it.

The @:native names are the natives' original SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE spelling, matching every generated extern in this library — not the CamelCase aliases the Lua runtime also exposes. Keeping one convention means a native's compiled call target looks the same wherever it came from. print is the exception: it is a real Lua global, not a native.

Static methods

@:native("GetGameTimer")staticgetGameTimer():Int

Milliseconds since the game (client) or server process started.

The only clock that is meaningful in both environments — use it for timeouts, cooldowns and rate limits rather than wall-clock time.

@:native("GetHashKey")staticgetHashKey(value:String):Int

The Jenkins one-at-a-time hash of value, lowercased first.

This is how models, weapons, vehicles and most other game assets are identified: getHashKey("adder") is what CREATE_VEHICLE wants.

@:native("print")staticprint(message:Dynamic):Void

Writes a line to the server console or the client's F8 console.
