Why is the Spy Detector not working?

If your Spy Detector (Digiscanner) is not working, the most common reason is that your inventory system is blocking or hiding the weapon.

Many inventory systems (including ox_inventory) automatically filter out certain weapons to prevent misuse, confusion, or clutter. Unfortunately, this can also affect the Digiscanner, since it may be treated as a restricted or unusual weapon.

🔧 For ox_inventory users

By default, ox_inventory blocks the Digiscanner, which prevents it from functioning properly.

How to fix it:

1. Navigate to your inventory.cfg file

2. Add the Digiscanner as an ignored weapon:

setr inventory:ignoreweapons ["WEAPON_DIGISCANNER"]

This ensures the Digiscanner is not filtered out and can be used correctly in-game.

📦 Using a different inventory system?

Even if you are not using ox_inventory, the issue may still occur.

Many inventory systems:

• Hide certain weapons automatically

• Flag uncommon items as illegal or restricted

• Prevent specific weapons from being equipped or used

What you should check:

• Make sure the Digiscanner is not blacklisted

• Ensure it is allowed to be equipped

• Disable any filters that treat it as an illegal or hidden weapon

👉 In short: If your inventory system interferes with weapons, you will likely need to whitelist or explicitly allow the Digiscanner.

✅ Summary

If the Spy Detector is not working:

• It’s usually not a script issue

• Your inventory is blocking the Digiscanner

• Fix it by whitelisting or ignoring the weapon in your inventory config

If you're unsure how to configure your specific inventory, check its documentation or look for options related to:

• weapon filtering

• ignored weapons

• blacklists / whitelists
