Vehicle Component Sync Question

[rfmx]

I am using vehicle component functions (for custom visual tuning) but they are client side only.

What is the best way to sync vehicle component manipulation (position, visibility) between players?

Can you show us your code ?

addCommandHandler("vcp", 
    function()
        local theVeh = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer)
        
        local x, y, z = getVehicleComponentPosition(theVeh, "wheel_rf_dummy")
        setVehicleComponentPosition(theVeh, "wheel_rf_dummy", x+0.15, y, z)
        
        local x, y, z = getVehicleComponentPosition(theVeh, "wheel_rb_dummy")
        setVehicleComponentPosition(theVeh, "wheel_rb_dummy", x+0.15, y, z)
        
        local x, y, z = getVehicleComponentPosition(theVeh, "wheel_lf_dummy")
        setVehicleComponentPosition(theVeh, "wheel_lf_dummy", x-0.15, y, z)
        
        local x, y, z = getVehicleComponentPosition(theVeh, "wheel_lb_dummy")
        setVehicleComponentPosition(theVeh, "wheel_lb_dummy", x-0.15, y, z)
        

    end
)

It is just a simple test script. I thought about using setElementData  for vehicles and onClientElementStreamIn for clients to sync it.

I'm just not shure if it's a good aproach or is there a better way of doing this.

Server side:

addCommandHandler("vcp",
function(player)
	local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(player)
	if isElement(vehicle) then
		triggerClientEvent(root, "syncVehicleComponents", vehicle)
	end
end)

Client side:

addEvent("syncVehicleComponents", true)
addEventHandler("syncVehicleComponents", root,
function()
	if isElement(source) and getElementType(source) == "vehicle" then	    
            local x, y, z = getVehicleComponentPosition(source, "wheel_rf_dummy")
            setVehicleComponentPosition(source, "wheel_rf_dummy", x+0.15, y, z)

            local x, y, z = getVehicleComponentPosition(source, "wheel_rb_dummy")
            setVehicleComponentPosition(source, "wheel_rb_dummy", x+0.15, y, z)

            local x, y, z = getVehicleComponentPosition(source, "wheel_lf_dummy")
            setVehicleComponentPosition(source, "wheel_lf_dummy", x-0.15, y, z)

            local x, y, z = getVehicleComponentPosition(source, "wheel_lb_dummy")
            setVehicleComponentPosition(source, "wheel_lb_dummy", x-0.15, y, z)
	end
end)

This should work.

--Add to client side in meta file
addEventHandler("onClientVehicleEnter", getRootElement(),
function()
theVeh = getPedOccupiedVehicle(thePlayer)
--Your following code
end
)
