FREE TOOL · IsControlJustPressed

FiveM controls list

All 361 GTA 5 control indices — 0 to 360, no gaps — with the INPUT_ name, the default keyboard key and the default Xbox binding. Press a key in the panel below and we tell you which control indices sit on it, which is usually the question: you know the key, you need the number. Every row copies out as a finished IsControlJustPressed or DisableControlAction call.

Indices, names and both binding columns come straight from the Cfx.re controls reference — nothing on this page is renamed or invented. 331 controls have a keyboard default, 294 have a pad default, 10 have neither. The nine group labels are ours, derived from the INPUT_ names so that 361 rows can be narrowed to the ones you care about; the game does not publish a category for a control.

-- Lock the player out of a set of inputs while something is open.
-- Only the controls in the list are taken away, so walking, looking around and
-- the pause menu all still work. DisableAllControlActions(0) is the blunt
-- version and it takes the pause menu with it, which players notice.
local BLOCKED = {
    24,  -- INPUT_ATTACK
    25,  -- INPUT_AIM
    37,  -- INPUT_SELECT_WEAPON
    47,  -- INPUT_DETONATE
    140, -- INPUT_MELEE_ATTACK_LIGHT

local locked = false

function SetControlsLocked(state)
    locked = state
end

CreateThread(function()
    while true do
        -- Wait(0) while locked, a long wait otherwise: an idle resource that
        -- runs an empty loop every frame is a measurable cost on a full server.
        if locked then
            for i = 1, #BLOCKED do
                DisableControlAction(0, BLOCKED[i], true)
            end
            Wait(0)
        else
            Wait(250)

1. 01 Find the index, not the key

   Look the control up here by name or by pressing the key in the panel above. From that point on your script talks about the index. A player who moved interact to F still triggers control 51, and you never have to know.

2. 02 Poll it every frame

   All of these checks describe one frame. Put the check inside CreateThread with Wait(0), and keep that loop small — it runs sixty-odd times a second for every player on the server.

3. 03 Pass 0 as the first argument

   The reference calls it padIndex and lists two control types, 0 and 2. The documentation for DisableControlAction states outright that groups 0 and 1 give the same results as 2, so 0 is the honest default and anything else is cargo cult.

4. 04 If you disable it, read the disabled variant

   DisableControlAction makes the plain checks blind to that control. Swap IsControlJustPressed for IsDisabledControlJustPressed in the same loop and the key is yours alone.

5. 05 Stop the loop when nothing is open

   A keybind resource that runs Wait(0) forever costs the same whether a menu is open or not. Gate the fast loop behind a flag and wait 250ms when there is nothing to do.

-- INPUT_CONTEXT — control 51
-- Client side. IsControlJustPressed is true on the single frame the input
-- goes down, so it has to be polled every frame: a thread that waits 100ms
-- will miss presses and feel broken rather than look broken.
CreateThread(function()
    while true do
        Wait(0)
        if IsControlJustPressed(0, 51) then
            print('INPUT_CONTEXT pressed')
        end
    end
end)

• What the reference actually says

  The native signature names that argument padIndex, not a control group. The Cfx.re controls page has a short “control types” table with two rows: 0 is PLAYER_CONTROL and 2 is FRONTEND_CONTROL. There is no published name for 1 — the value people call CONTROL_CAMERA is a community label, not something the documentation gives.

  And the documentation for DISABLE_CONTROL_ACTION states it outright: control group 1 and 0 give the same results as 2. So on PC, with one player and one pad, the three values behave the same for these natives.

  Practical answer: pass 0. A menu snippet that passes 2 is not wrong, it is a habit inherited from the decompiled scripts. If a tutorial tells you 2 is required for frontend input, it is repeating something the reference contradicts.

• IsControlPressed(padIndex, control)

  True on every frame the input is held down.

  Continuous things: a horn, a torch, holding a door open. If you use this for a toggle you get the toggle flipping sixty times a second.

• IsControlJustPressed(padIndex, control)

  True only on the frame the input goes from up to down. The reference describes it as newly pressed since the last check.

  Everything discrete: open a menu, pick something up, fire a one-shot action. This is the one you want nine times in ten.

• IsControlJustReleased(padIndex, control)

  True on the frame the input comes back up.

  Hold-to-act, and anything where you need to know how long the key was down. Pair it with GetGameTimer at the press.

• IsDisabledControlPressed(padIndex, control)

  The same as IsControlPressed, but it still reports a control that your own script has disabled this frame.

  Any key you took away from the game with DisableControlAction and still want to read. The plain check will not see it.

• IsDisabledControlJustPressed(padIndex, control)

  The just-pressed edge, for a disabled control.

  The combination most menus need: the game must not act on E, but the menu must.

• DisableControlAction(padIndex, control, disable)

  Takes one control away from the game for one frame. Its own documentation says it needs to be executed each frame.

  Inside a per-frame loop, never once at startup. Call it once and it is undone before the player notices.

• GetControlNormal(padIndex, control)

  The analogue value of an input as a float rather than a boolean.

  Sticks, triggers and the mouse axes — the inputs a pressed check cannot describe.

• GetControlInstructionalButton(padIndex, control, p2)

  Returns the glyph string for a control, as the pause menu and the help text draw it.

  Showing the player which key to press without hardcoding "E" — it follows their own bindings and their pad.

-- Take INPUT_PICKUP (control 38) off the game and read it yourself.
-- Two things matter here. DisableControlAction has to run every frame — it
-- lasts exactly one frame. And once a control is disabled, IsControlJustPressed
-- stops returning true for it, which is why the check below is the DISABLED
-- variant. Mixing those two up is the single most common reason a keybind
-- "stops working" the moment somebody disables the key.
CreateThread(function()
    while true do
        Wait(0)
        DisableControlAction(0, 38, true)

        if IsDisabledControlJustPressed(0, 38) then
            print('INPUT_PICKUP pressed, and the game never saw it')
        end
    end
end)

-- The analogue inputs are not on/off, so they are read as a normal.
-- GetControlNormal returns -1.0 to 1.0 for an axis and 0.0 to 1.0 for a
-- trigger, on both a pad and mouse-and-keyboard.
CreateThread(function()
    while true do
        Wait(0)
        local lr = GetControlNormal(0, 1)  -- INPUT_LOOK_LR
        local ud = GetControlNormal(0, 2)  -- INPUT_LOOK_UD

        if math.abs(lr) > 0.2 or math.abs(ud) > 0.2 then
            print(('looking %.2f / %.2f'):format(lr, ud))
        end
    end
end)

-- Disabled the control but still want the stick value? There is a separate
-- getter for that too, for the same reason the pressed checks have one.
-- GetDisabledControlNormal(0, 1)
