# CFX::_ADD_BLIP_FOR_AREA

- **Hash:** `0x6228F159`
- **Namespace:** CFX
- **Runtime name (Lua/JS):** `AddBlipForArea`
- **Side:** server (Cfx runtime native)
- **Name status:** official
- **Documentation:** described
- **Other names:** `0xCE5D0E5E315DB238`
- **URL:** https://natives.borderlinerp.com/natives/CFX/_ADD_BLIP_FOR_AREA

## Signature

```c
Blip _ADD_BLIP_FOR_AREA(float x, float y, float z, float width, float height);
```

## Parameters

- `x` (`float`) — The X coordinate of the center of the blip.
- `y` (`float`) — The Y coordinate of the center of the blip.
- `z` (`float`) — The Z coordinate of the center of the blip.
- `width` (`float`) — The width of the blip.
- `height` (`float`) — The height of the blip.

## Returns

`Blip` — A handle to the blip.

## Description

*Source: Cfx.re native reference*

Adds a rectangular blip for the specified coordinates/area.
It is recommended to use [SET_BLIP_ROTATION](#\_0xF87683CDF73C3F6E) and [SET_BLIP_COLOUR](#\_0x03D7FB09E75D6B7E) to make the blip not rotate along with the camera.
By default, the blip will show as a *regular* blip with the specified color/sprite if it is outside of the minimap view.
(Native name is *likely* to actually be ADD_BLIP_FOR_AREA, but due to the usual reasons this can't be confirmed)

**This is the server-side RPC native equivalent of the client native [\_ADD_BLIP_FOR_AREA](?\_0xCE5D0E5E315DB238).**

## Usage

### Lua

```lua
local retval = AddBlipForArea(x, y, z, width, height)

-- always available, by hash
local retval = Citizen.InvokeNative(0x6228f159, x, y, z, width, height, Citizen.ResultAsInteger())
```

### JavaScript

```js
const retval = AddBlipForArea(x, y, z, width, height);

// by hash
const retval = Citizen.invokeNative('0x6228f159', x + 0.0000001, y + 0.0000001, z + 0.0000001, width + 0.0000001, height + 0.0000001, Citizen.returnResultAnyway(), Citizen.resultAsInteger());
```

### C#

```csharp
int retval = Function.Call<int>((Hash)0x6228f159, x, y, z, width, height);
```

- Float parameters: Lua integers (`10`, or whole numbers decoded from NUI/JSON) are sent as ints and read as garbage. Write `10.0` or `value + 0.0`. The generated JS wrappers add `0.0000001` to non-zero floats for the same reason.
