Player Data

Learn how to access and modify a player's data

Introduction

The Player Data object in qb-core stores all information related to a player's character, such as personal details, job, gang affiliation, metadata, and more. These values are initialized using default values defined in the config.lua file of qb-core. This guide will provide an overview of the structure, default values, and how you can access or modify player data
