Launch together. Detach on your terms. Survive the fall.
SL Rocket Drop is a configurable multiplayer activity for FiveM roleplay servers. Players gather at a Rocket Drop station, join a shared lobby, confirm they are ready and launch vertically as a group before separating into freefall.
Each station supports 1 to 6 players. The first participant becomes the host and can begin the launch once every joined player has confirmed they are ready.
During the ascent, players experience a synchronized countdown, continuous engine audio, centered exhaust effects, takeoff camera shake and a brief cinematic blur. They can remain attached until the automatic release or detach early and begin freefall on their own terms.
Once released, each player controls their fall and decides when to deploy their parachute manually.

In-Game Administration
The included ox_lib administration menu allows authorized owners and administrators to manage the activity without editing coordinates manually.
Using /slrocketdrop, authorized staff can:
- Add a new Rocket Drop station at their current position.
- Install the complete calibrated composition automatically.
- Rename existing stations.
- Relocate stations using the administrator’s current position and heading.
- Enable or disable individual stations.
- Teleport to a configured station.
- Permanently delete a station.
- Reset all active Rocket Drop sessions safely.
- Manage up to 32 configurable locations by default.
Every new location uses the protected master layout containing the rocket, exhaust origin, host NPC and six player positions.
