Installation — ns-target

ns-target replaces ox_target / qb-target / qtarget. The real resources must not run next to it: both would answer the same exports.

1. Remove the old target resource. Delete (or move out of resources/) the folders ox_target, qb-target and qtarget you have. Keep your ensure ox_target line in server.cfg, the shim will use it.
2. Add ns-target. Copy the ns-target folder into resources/ (any category folder works, e.g. [nullsect]).
3. Add the shims you need. They are empty resources with the old names, so scripts that check GetResourceState('ox_target') or declare dependency 'ox_target' keep working. Copy them out of ns-target/compat/ next to ns-target:

   Shim	Copy it when
   compat/ox_target	always (ox_inventory, ox_doorlock, Qbox scripts, NullSect scripts look for it)
   compat/qb-target	you run scripts made for qb-target
   compat/qtarget	you run old scripts that look for qtarget

4. server.cfg order. ns-target after ox_lib and the framework, shims after ns-target, everything that adds targets after the shims:

   ensure ox_lib
   ensure qbx_core
   ensure ns-target
   ensure ox_target     # shim
   ensure qb-target     # shim (optional)
   # ... ox_inventory, ox_doorlock, your scripts
   

   Copy
5. Restart the server (not only the resource: other scripts register their targets when they start).

Verify

1. The F8 console shows no ns-target error. ox_target is running, so ns-target stays inactive ... means the real ox_target is still installed: ns-target then does nothing at all (no key, no exports) so the two never fight.
2. In game hold Left Alt next to an ATM or a shop counter: diamonds appear, the aimed one gets a frame and a menu.
3. Left click, pick an option: the same thing happens as with ox_target.
4. Press 1 while aiming at something with options: the first option runs.
