Players can hand items to each other in two ways: a quick give by dragging onto a nearby player, or a two-sided trade where both sides confirm before anything moves.

## Drag and give

Drag an item out of the inventory and release it on a player standing next to you.
A ring under the targeted player shows who will receive it.

- You can also rest the item on the **Give** fast action, hold, and release it on a player.
- **COUNT** decides how many you give; empty gives the whole stack.
- The server checks the distance, 3 metres by default.

| Setting in `give` (`data/obsi/interact.lua`) | Default |
| --- | --- |
| `distance` | `3.0` metres |
| `marker.type` | `25` (ground ring) |
| `marker.color` | `{ 229, 18, 46, 170 }` (Obsi red) |

## Trading

:::::steps
### Send a request

Use the **Trade** fast action, drop an item on **Trade**, or pick **Trade** in the context menu.
The other player must be within 3 metres.

### Accept or decline

The other player gets a request card with a countdown, even with the inventory closed.
They press `Y` to accept or `N` to decline.

### Make offers

The trade window opens for both players.
Each side puts up to 12 different slots on the table.

### Confirm

Both players confirm.
Any change to either offer clears both confirmations, so nobody can swap an item at the last second.

### The swap

The server re-reads every offered stack from the live inventories, checks weight and free slots on both sides, runs the `swapItems` hooks, and moves everything in one step.
If anything fails, every change is rolled back.
:::::

:::hint{type="success" title="Safe by design"}
The client never decides what is swapped.
Every check happens on the server, against the inventories as they are at that moment.

### Trade settings

| Setting in `trade` | Default | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `distance` | `3.0` | Metres to send a request and to keep the trade running |
| `timeout` | `30` | Seconds a request waits for an answer |
| `sessionTimeout` | `300` | Seconds without activity before a trade is cancelled |
| `maxOffers` | `12` | Different slots one player may offer |
| `keys.accept` / `keys.decline` | `Y` / `N` | Answer a request with the inventory closed |

Players can rebind the accept and decline keys in **Settings → Key Bindings → FiveM**.

## Opening another player's inventory

Searching another player, a trunk or a glovebox uses [item discovery](/inventory/features/items-and-rarity#item-discovery): items reveal themselves one by one, by rarity.
Dumpsters and trunks also play a search animation while they are open (`search` in `data/obsi/interact.lua`).
