Discovery: Script Hook V is a library that enables the utilization of GTA V script native functions in custom *.asi plugins. It’s important to note that this functionality does not extend to GTA Online; attempting to use Script Hook in multiplayer mode will prompt the closure of GTA V. Further details can be found in the readme file.

This distribution package also includes the latest Asi Loader and Native Trainer.

Installation:

1. Copy ScriptHookV.dll to the game’s main folder, where GTA5.exe is located.
2. To load asi plugins, an asi loader must be installed. You can either download it separately or use the latest version included with this distribution (dinput8.dll). If you have a previous asi loader version installed (dsound.dll), it must be deleted.
3. Additionally, the distribution includes a sample asi plugin – the native trainer. If you require a trainer, copy NativeTrainer.asi as well.

Concept: The primary concept revolves around compiled script plugins depending solely on ScriptHookV.dll. Therefore, when the game undergoes updates, users need only update the script hook runtime (i.e., ScriptHookV.dll) to ensure the scripts function correctly.
