GTA 5 Roleplay Starter/Beginner Guide! (Basics, Commands, and common rules!) 

In Florida you’d be surprised what people would do at gun point.

imagine trying to type while in a gang war and you get shot.

Your information is on point and not very available on RU-vid, I'm recently trying to get into RP, read some rules and forums but was worried about /me and /do commands, this was the best explanation I've seen. You're channel is underrated, keep up the great work! Thank you

Hey Zez, Great content man, I've searched for tutorials all day and still could not get a understanding of rp elements and fundamentals the way I did by watching your videos. Thank you so very much for the amazing work and dedication you put into your content!

Thank you Zez you are the reason I joined mafia city with my friends joining soon. Are back story is we all used to bank robbers back in liberty city until everything went south and we fled to here. We are living low everyday until we realize we are short on money, and the old life of crime is back

Time to throw this in our tutorial.

After years of pause after playing GTA SA RP at its peak, watching this I feel like WW1 veteran listening to fresh new soldiers. Great introduction, luckily the rules are mostly the same :)

Very clear and precise with your information, thank you for this great video because I’ve always wondered how these cool RP servers worked!

This is great. When I first started rping I new like none of this and had to figure it all out on my own.

Respect you took your time for this!❤️

I already knew all of this from years of SAMP. But, I will say one thing since I quit SAMP and switched to text based RP for a few years. Having Me's and Do's together like you expressed sounds redundant when the other player can, for instance "/me refuses to take the gun" and directly answer the first player's /me.

If you flex your muscles around your hand when handcuffs are being applied, you can slip them later on when you relax the your hand and slide out.

This would be so helpful when I first started. Good vid!

the heeeeeeeeeeelow everyone took 2 seconds and that was my fav part

Been Playing mafia for about a week now and its been a blast, I am glad I found your channel.

only starter guide i found and you explain things very well. thanks for the info :)

Good video for the new players to learn the basics! Well done brother.

Getting the acer nitro 5 so happy I’m gonna be finally be playing gta rp

hey man thank you for this content. Ive been a fan of the gta rp community for a while and finally have my own game pc to interact now. This is a great overview for someone like me looking to start

Dude i really appreciate this video. im a huge gamer and never done a RP game. i was asked to fill out an application and i was really thinking i was being creativity. i believe i was being creative in the wrong way. you have explained how i need to do it. to play with my friends. thanks dude!

i'm new to rp so i appreicate the help bro. i had to write all this down so i can try to use these in a rp cenario

Alternate Title: Watch before applying on whitelisted servers! lol great vid

Bro I’m high af this guys Voice is so soothing ngl ps good Guide 👌🏻

Thankyou this has been very helpful

Spending a couple days deciding on your backstory is wild

I played RP for so long and I dont think I have ever seen anyone use the /me command, wish more people would implement it into they're rp

I may being doing a little too much but I took literal notes to remember these to start. Thanks for making the video though otherwise, super helpful, especially about character creation.

Watched your ads in full and clicked them. I hope that helps! Thanks for the information!

I've only just discovered gtaRP and im interested in the whole role play scenario. Can i just become a biker/chop shop owner and go around buying part's for the bike shop build renovate and sell. If so that's my role play right there

dude really good video we need that for those new players in mafia city

bro you REALLYY helped me join the whitelisted server i wanted to join for a while now!, Thanks soo much dude!

this'll be useful for many, very nice

I feel like Zez would be a wonderful person to RP with This video really got me the spirit to rp again so that's cool

Couldn't a lot of these /me /do's just be done via voice chat? I feel like these would be adding redundant elements, like describing how you hand over a gun or if the guy takes the keys to the car after you ask them to take them and then drop them.

great guide. great outro song!

I've been having a lot of fun with GTA RP. I just started today and my character so far is a garbage man who appreciates the small things. I'm gonna develop him to the point where he can't stop killing Locals. He will become a serial killer and hopefully be shit down by my new friend I made.

Just got a PC for the role play and can't figure out controls or anything this is gonna be a huge learning curve 😂

Thank god these new players are wild

Your voice is so relaxing bro its nice

Ty for the vid. Just started on ProdigyRP and brand new to GTARP.

1:08 keyword *RECOMMEND*

I'd just RP as my own personality, no need to create one

Thanks bro this really helped

tysm, i was so stumped on what to do

I have i7 4th and 1060gtx and 16gb of ram excited to buy the game

Nice vid even though I’m not a new player any more this a good video because I forgot some of the rules

Thanks dude, Usually I rp on Roblox (not those games the kids play, but like CSOM, ATF, all that) And I wasn't really sure above gta but a lotta the rules are very similar

I will agree on all this beside the last part depending on your person your gonna fight back it’s actually unrealistic to not fight back cause if you look at real life events people who got held up fought back an still come out on top my way around this tho is depending how my day been but also in real life I would be fighting back I rather die defending myself than behind over like a helpless person

I just wanna be chilling like the streamer flight tee grizzled and then

@Zez Has the purpose of /do changed? From a RP perspective I understand why it's in the game (to describe a scene without having your character name as the first noun), but its usage seems pointless to me in the scenarios described. If you wanted to attempt to push someone over a balcony, you would just use OOC chat to ask if it's possible. If you were to describe open carry, you would use /me has a rifle slung around his back. For me /do only seems to have a practical purpose when it comes to describing something that doesn't pertain to your character, /do The room smells of ammonia.

Thanks man really helpful

This dudes driving is immaculate!

One thing you didn't cover is accidentally running someone over and what to do about it. It happens. It isn't automatically VDM if you accidentally run someone over and kill them. What most people do is stop, apologize and explain that it was an accident. Then call EMS or put them in your car and take them to the hospital. Some people still might be shitlords and try to report you for VDM but most legitimate RP servers require some kind of proof like a video ("body cam") of the incident. So as long as you try to help them and try to fix the situation, you should be fine.

I'm new to RP like NEW NEW and I feel like what actually helped me alot more to better understand how to play is just to get on the not so big (popularity wise) servers. I think it's better because you can actually get the hang of it instead of freezing up,ruining the scene and not knowing what to do. Aaaaaaand also it's probly cuz I'm dumb af but for the first 2-3 days I never knew how to use proximity chat, I feel like you should also add that in a future video.

remeber rp on gta san andreas many years ago, was so fun. think ill have to try it on gta 5 allso now.

my question is really basic; which button do I push on my keyboard for the / and which button do I push to confim my character customisation, so it wont go back to male basic, and says as female customise, please?

Not really, in real life if someone pulls a gun on you, you absolutely would run. That's one thing about NVL that's always bothered me. Because the way the rules are, they expect every single person to act exactly the same in every situation, when in reality people respond to different situations differently. I think it should just be reasonably or realistic for your character. Let's say your RPing as an EX Green Beret that's now a hitman (or an off duty police officer), when some criminal scum bag tries to hold you up at the ATM. You left your firearm in your glovebox but you still have a knife on you. It's just one guy and he looks scared. Just putting your hands up and letting him rob you seems a lot more unrealistic for your character. But nope, every person sees a gun and instantly becomes powerless. I mean even if your character is just a normal person, if someone has a gun and you have say a hatchet or knife, you could definitely fight. Most servers just expect you to give up the moment someone draws on you. Another situation, I was in my car parked with the engine running. It's a Neon, a very fast electric sports car, it's really quiet so you can't tell the car is on. Some thug pulls up and from in his car says "Ay yo, gimme that car.". I say, "No". He says "You're either going to give me that car or I'm going to shoot you and take it.". I say "How about neither?" before speeding away. On a lot of servers, I would have been required to give him my car. It was okay on my server though even though the guy tried to claim NVL. In real life if you're in your car, it's on and in gear, then some thug pulls up in his car and tries to car jack you. Most people would do what I did, whether the guy had a gun out or not. In fact, it seems more dangerous to turn your car off, get out and give the thug your car.

This video is very imformative!

I just have a question about power gaming following the /breaks out of handcuffs would /me attempts to break out of handcuffs be acceptable?

the /do commands is so stupid, it doesn't make any sense. As a new person I jus lt Dont get it. Why would the victim who doesn't want to be pushed over the edge say would I be able to?

For the last rule, would this example be allowed? Say me and a friend are in a car, 1 guy comes up to us to try and Rob us. He pulls a gun at the driver (my friend), I get out and show my gun. Would that potentially break that rule? Eventhoigh I'm not the one fearing.

Hey, i would like to add some rules im a profesinall movie RP'er from SAMP . I want to add RK which is revenge killibg killing someone that killed you beacause your memory wipes after that. HGF healing in gun fights is not allowed on moat servers. LTA loging to avoid things like getting aressted or robbed is not allowed. And this with the rules that Zez listed above are the most impotant role playing terms .

I’m new to mod servers and am trying to find a server suite that adds content for my players. I’m having a hard time figuring out what 5M is and isn’t. The site suggests it’s a collection of thousands of mods, but every RU-vid video seems to focus on this “cops and robbers” RP. Is that just a very popular mod like Hunger Games used to be for Minecraft or is that pretty much the main purpose of 5M?

How do I revive myself I been sitting here for an hour dead

no kap i only wanna play this shit for the cars modded customizations clothes etc

thanks this video helped a lot

so if you do '/me trying to slip out of handcuffs within 60 seconds' still a power game or would that be a legit play or is that even possible?

Awesome info! My only question would be: Couldn't you PM someone under the RP of a text message? I understand the actual voice coms though, obviously nobody would be in a phone call for an hour XD

Sick video mkay

Just started playing yesterday and im having fun but I can’t get into any server unless it’s one where people are just shooting and acting insane lol

Getting a pc at Xmas can’t wait!!!

About the meta gaming thing, I was watching a guy do street races in an RP server, and he said he tweeted abt doing the street race... does this fall into meta gaming?

How do the cars work do you just spawn them in or do you have to work for money and buy them?

I have made a character named Bobby Andersson and this is the backstory/motivations: Bobby loves donuts and will do anything he can if he sees a donut truck. Bobby Andersson has a girlfriend named Emily. Bobby works for the Lspd. Bobby is 22 years old and came to Los Santos when he was 15. He used to live in north yankton

This is dope Zez....is it possible to do a corporation tutorial?

In a nutshell, learn to play counter intuitively the way you would play on vanilla online. lol

How do you save everything you do when you been playing for a while? When I play I always have to start over everytime I login

/me /do are a bit old fashion because they were used in samp. At that time we didn’t have voice chat like these days but I didn’t mean to stop using them. Just apply it in the situation that you cannot do it or when there is no animation for that posture that you want to do Like the example that you gave for us “/me picks the flower from bushes” But when you want to push someone, you can do it by press left-click on your mouse. “/me pushes the man in front of him” It is unnecessary to text when you actually can do it. “/do would he able to do it?” Exactly, you can do it. When you push someone you won’t ask them that your pushing is completed or not. Don’t play like it was SAMP because this is FiveM and we have voice chat now. Use it and your life will be easier.

bruh i got jumped and didnt know how t oput my hands up and they killed me lol

Zez quick question, What if I wanted to be a hitman is it possible?

Can we save our data on the role play or do we start from scratch every time?

Thank you Zez

Fear RP is a point of irritation for me as anyone with self defense knows if they're dumb enough to put a gun into your face, they're capable of being grappled and disarmed. Also after being held up for the twentieth time in a week, I'd say someone may be less willing to play the part of hapless sheep.

I've been here for about 5 days now. I have a car, and a gun. But it's hard to get people to chill with you. :/ a video on good ways of engaging rp would be helpful!

I’ve met some douchebags on rp, I’ve also been banned for not knowing these rules, so much appreciated. I still think the majority of the rules and ways to do things are dumb. Rp is probably the main cause for so many multiple personality disorders lol.

how does dead work in RP ? like when someone kills u... u talk about realisme... so how do u act if u die ? do u need to start a new character with new backstory ? or do u just act like nothing happens? or can u take revenge ?

Seems like a lot of work

Hey man, thanks for the Information I'm a new Player in mafia city

Would drunk driving be a good reason for vehicle deathmatching?

This is super old so I doubt you’ll see my comment, but if by chance you do, I have a few questions that I can’t find the answers to (I’m very new to gta v & RP, so I’m sorry in advance lol). 1: How do you open the circle menu? (This is the most important one) 2: How do you pick up somebody to bring them to the hospital or into a car? 3: How do you pull out your gun, & how do you point & shoot? 4: How do you switch seats in a car? 5: How do you open your trunk or glovebox? 6: How do you open inventory to pick up an item or give someone else an item? Along with that, how do you search &/or rob someone? 7: How do you get into/work your walkie-talkie? - Sorry these are all so basic and there’s so many lmao But like I said, I’m having trouble finding any videos showing how to do any of these things, so hopefully you see this🤞🏼😅

I THOUGHT THIS WAS GONNA BE A HOW-TO VIDEO, IDK WHAT BUTTONS DO WHAT. IM COMPLETELY NEW TO RP AND PC. PLZ SEND HELP

9:31 DiscOoOoOoOrD

I tried to get into it, but as with all RP games on the internet, it's an over complicated death match. Watching right now a bunch of police fighting an ambulance crew while I smoke a joint and drive away.

Great video

First

What is the best begginer server?

I have been stuck for a about a week. Can’t figure out how to “call for transport at any parking lot” I can’t find any info online either. Is this revers really this crappy to get started on?? Hoping someone makes a video about this soon or im giving up.

If you buy a car and leave the server will you still have the car or do you have to do some stuff like saving or something. I really don’t know anything about gta rp
