1. Create the Script File
   Navigate to your FiveM server resource folder and create a new resource folder, e.g., crouch-script. Inside it, create a file named __resource.lua (or fxmanifest.lua for newer versions) and a client.lua file.
2. fxmanifest.luaCreate a manifest file with the following content:

fx_version 'cerulean'
game 'gta5'

author 'YourName'
description 'Simple crouch script for FiveM'
version '1.0.0'

client_script 'client.lua'

client.luaAdd the following Lua script:

local isCrouching = false
local crouchKey = 26 -- Default key (C)

-- Function to toggle crouch
local function toggleCrouch()
    local playerPed = PlayerPedId()

    if isCrouching then
        -- Reset to normal
        ResetPedMovementClipset(playerPed, 0)
        isCrouching = false
    else
        -- Set crouch movement
        RequestAnimSet("move_ped_crouched")
        while not HasAnimSetLoaded("move_ped_crouched") do
            Wait(10)
        end
        SetPedMovementClipset(playerPed, "move_ped_crouched", 0.25)
        isCrouching = true
    end
end

-- Monitor key press
CreateThread(function()
    while true do
        Wait(0)
        if IsControlJustPressed(1, crouchKey) then
            toggleCrouch()
        end
    end
end)
