Send DynamicHUD notifications directly or replace ox_lib notifications without changing call sites.

Notifications

notify and Notify are equivalent client exports. Notifications may also be triggered through the client event.

Client export

exports['orbit-dynamichud-v2']:notify({
    title = 'Garage',
    description = 'Vehicle stored successfully.',
    type = 'success',
    duration = 3500
})

Client event

TriggerEvent('orbit-dynamichud:notify', {
    description = 'You do not have the required item.',
    type = 'error',
    duration = 4000
})

A server script targets a client:

Server event

TriggerClientEvent('orbit-dynamichud:notify', source, {
    title = 'Server',
    description = 'Welcome back.',
    type = 'info',
    duration = 3000
})

Payload

Field	Type	Default	Description
`id`	`string?`	generated	Unique ID. A notification with an ID already visible is ignored.
`title`	`string?`	localized by type	Heading. Omit it to use the localized type label.
`description`	`string?`	`""`	Notification body.
`type`	`string?`	`"info"`	`primary`, `inform`, `info`, `warning`, `error`, or `success`.
`duration`	`number?`	`3000`	Display duration in milliseconds.
`icon`	`string?`	type icon	Free Font Awesome icon name or classes.
`color`	`string?`	type color	CSS color for the accent and duration bar.
`iconColor`	`string?`	`color`	CSS color for the notification icon.

When title is omitted, the resource uses notification_info, notification_warning, notification_err, or notification_success from the active locale.

Custom notification

exports['orbit-dynamichud-v2']:Notify({
    id = 'vehicle_locked',
    description = 'Vehicle locked.',
    type = 'inform',
    icon = 'fas fa-lock',
    color = '#71B6F7',
    iconColor = '#FFFFFF',
    duration = 2500
})

ox_lib drop-in replacement

Add this after @ox_lib/init.lua in the resource. Existing lib.notify(data) calls require no changes.

client/orbit_notify.lua

lib = lib or {}

lib.notify = function(data)
    return exports['orbit-dynamichud-v2']:notify(data)
end

Core ox_lib fields (id, title, description, duration, type, icon, and iconColor) map directly. DynamicHUD owns placement and styling, so ox_lib-only fields such as position, nested style, showDuration, and sound do not change the DynamicHUD notification presentation.

See the complete compatibility bridge when replacing all four interfaces.
