/statusclear |
Everyone | Removes every annotation on you that you are allowed to remove |
A keybind can be added with Config.Keybind; it is empty by default, so the command is the only way in until you set one.
While the panel is open the camera moves to a fixed booth position in front of the ped, the minimap is hidden (Config.Camera.HideRadar) and the ped is frozen (Config.Camera.FreezePlayer) so it cannot walk out of frame.
The character preview
The interface is transparent — what you see behind it is the game, and the character in it is genuinely yours.
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Drag on the character | Spins the ped, as in a clothing menu |
| Front / Back buttons | Snap the ped to face towards or away from the camera |
| Zoom buttons | Move the camera in and out, within the measured limits |
| ESC | Closes the panel (Config.UI.CloseOnEscape) |
The clickable markers are recalculated from the ped's bone coordinates every Config.Camera.HotspotRefresh milliseconds (default 30, roughly 33 times a second), which is why they stay on the shoulder or the knee while the body turns.
Writing an annotation
- Click a region on the body, or pick it from the searchable list.
- Type the note. It is capped at
Config.Limits.MaxTextLengthcharacters — 48 by default, because long text is hard to read floating over a ped. - Choose a type (injury, bandage, note) and a severity (minor, moderate, severe). Both selectors can be hidden with
Config.UI.ShowTypesandConfig.UI.ShowSeverity. - When you are examining another player, a row of duration chips appears. Pick one, or Permanent if
Config.Duration.AllowPermanentis on. - Save. The annotation appears immediately on the body for everyone nearby.
Notes players write on themselves do not offer a duration picker — they use Config.Duration.SelfDefault (0, permanent) since the player can remove them whenever they like.
What other players see
Nearby players see the text floating on the matching body part, drawn straight from the statebag. It is only drawn within Config.Text.ViewDistance (6 m by default), scales with camera distance between MinScale and MaxScale, and is tinted with the severity colour unless ColorBySeverity is off.
On very busy servers set Config.Text.OnlyWhileAiming = true. Annotations are then only drawn while the observer holds the aim key, which keeps a crowded street readable.
Removing annotations
- Remove annotation takes off the selected entry, if you are allowed to.
- Clear all wipes everything the caller is permitted to remove; locked medic documentation is kept.
/statuscleardoes the same thing from chat without opening the panel.
Annotations placed by a medic on a patient are locked. The patient is told "This was placed by a medic — you cannot remove it before it expires." See Permissions & Duration.
