Configuring Skills in Fivemon

This guide explains how to configure Monster Skills (Fly, Ride, Surf, Dive, Carry) using the monsters-wrappers script in your Fivemon server.

File Location

Skill configuration files are located at data/

You will find:

• fly.json
• ride.json
• carry.json
• surf.json
• dive.json

Each file defines the configuration for a specific movement skill.

Ped Type — ⚠️ Important

Each Monster model has a ped type that determines which animation dictionaries it supports.
If you use animations not supported by the ped type, the skill will not work correctly or will bug out.

How to check the ped type:

1. Open:

   [assets]/monster_models/peds.meta

2. Search for the model name of your Monster (e.g., charizard, slowpoke, etc.).

3. Inside the entry, look for this tag:

   <PoseMatcherName>deer</PoseMatcherName>

   Common values:

   • Male

   • deer

   • pug

   • cat

4. Make sure the monster animations you choose (e.g., skydive@freefall, creatures@boar@move) are compatible with the ped type.

Common Concepts

Each skill configuration contains entries per Monster, specifying how the player is attached to the model, which animations are used, and more.
The fields vary slightly depending on the skill.

These control how the Monster animates during various phases of flight:

You can customize each animation set to make flying look more dynamic or unique.

Flight Speeds

These define movement limits and feel of the flying controls.

Acceleration / Deceleration

These affect how responsive the flight feels.

Rotation Speed

Flight Movement Curve

These parameters control the natural movement "bobbing" of the Monster while flying.

Example Entry

{
    "id": 6,
    "name": "charizard",
    "attachPosX": 0.2,
    "attachPosY": -0.3,

}

Real-time Testing

• Add a basic boilerplate for the monsters you want to configure and restart monsters-wrapper and then uri-core.

• Use /testMoveSkillValue [key] [value] while mounted to adjust values live.

• Use /testMoveSkillExport while mounted to export current settings to console.

  1. Paste exported values into the correct JSON.

  2. Validate formatting.

  3. Restart monsters-wrapper and uri-core.

• Tip use a console command (F8) and use healTrainerTeam me; testMoveSkillValue [key1] [value1]; testMoveSkillValue [key2] [value2]; testMoveSkillValue [key3] [value3] adding all the commands you want. We use healTrainerTeam me to heal the PPs to avoid skill not being able to start.
