KnifeArch is a free FiveM resource we released in 2020. It is now archived and no longer supported.
If you want a modern, maintained knife arch (and a full set of police equipment alongside it), get Police Tools from our store:
Since forming London Studios in April 2020 we've created a number of high quality and premium resources for the FiveM project, focusing on the emergency services and aiming to bring your server to the next level.
Although we made a number of free resources such as this one in the first year, we've now switched to creating paid content, keeping them constantly updated and working along with providing the best possible support to our customers.
With thousands of happy customers we are confident you'll love our resources and our active support team are on hand to help if you have any questions!
Police Tools is the successor for knife arch operations. It includes an improved Knife Arch with temporary or permanent placement, weapon and item scanning, and a cleaner placement flow, plus a full toolkit for everyday policing.
Place temporary or permanent metal detection arches, position and rotate them in-world, then scan players walking through for configured weapons and items. Ideal for knife arch operations, checkpoints and station security.

Archived / unsupported. This free resource is likely out of date and is no longer supported. The full source code remains available if you wish to maintain it yourself. For an updated knife arch with ongoing updates and support, use Police Tools.
KnifeArch is a FiveM resource coded in C# allowing you to setup walk-through metal detectors which can be triggered by other players, alerting you and playing an external, custom sound as it is activated.
The time has come, you are now able to run knife arch operations and ensure that players are not carrying anything they shouldn't be!
The included model has been taken from the DLC Casino Heist, and re textured.
This plugin is made by LondonStudios. Join our Discord here for support on our paid resources and exclusive plugin previews.
Video demo (legacy): here.
/arch [setup/remove] - Setup or remove a knife arch at your location. /archdetect [true/false] - Set whether you will activate the arch when walking through. If DetectedWeapons is not empty in the configuration, it will detect the specified weapons regardless if this is turned on or off.
The /arch command is able to use AcePermissions, this must be enabled in "config.ini".
The included Activation sound will play upon another player activating the metal detector.
You are only able to remove knife arches you have created and you may only setup one at a time.
- Create a new resource folder on your server.
- Add the contents of "resource" inside it. This includes: "Client.net.dll", "Server.net.dll", "fxmanifest.lua", "html", "stream", "config.ini", "SharpConfig.dll"
- In server.cfg, "ensure" KnifeArch, to make it load with your server startup.
The "config.ini" file allows you to enable permissions for the /arch command, which means you will have to give players access in your Server.cfg or another whitelisting method.
[KnifeArch]
PermissionsEnabled = false
SoundVolume = 0.6 # This must be below 1.0
SoundRadius = 30.0 # We recommend 30.0
DetectedWeapons = { weapon_dagger, weapon_machete, weapon_knife }
On line 2, you can set PermissionsEnabled to "true" or "false. The /archdetect command is not included in this. On line 3, you can set the SoundVolume, this must be below 1.0. On line 4, you can set the SoundRadius, we recommend keeping this at 30.0. On line 5, you can set the DetectedWeapons, this is an array of weapon names. Set to { } to disable detection of weapons automatically.
Please find the source code in the "src" folder. Please ensure you follow the licence in "LICENCE.md".
