[Script] Replace Objects

[Miyuru]

How to replace like this 2 replacement to same model.

If you refer to the spoiler you could put it on a default spoiler of the game and use attachElements or implement it as a variant on infernus which is a bit complicated if you are a beginner

[Tut]

See above advice it will help get you started. Another way of doing it is add all custom parts in the DFF and hiding the components with a shader or setting unused elements position to somewhere far out of view.

How to use custom variants?

 

[Tut]

They are components that are children of dummy chassis_dummy and a maximum of 6 can be spawned. They are named extra0 through extra5. These components have static positions and rotates along the vehicle, so you can't make them child of trunks or specific vehicle parts.

You can add vehicle variants through a modeling software.

[Miyuru]

is there a function to replace or something like this?

Replacing model is handled by engineReplaceDFF and spawning variants is handled by setVehicleVariant.

I'm not able to offer any advice on a scripting level.

I made variants using Blender.
Thanks!

But can I use only 5 variants for each vehicle?

[Tut]

You can use 6. extra0, extra1, extra2, extra3, extra4, extra5.

If your project needs more than 6 you would want to use one of the above methods.

I Found a Method "setVehicleComponentVisible" but it's only show local player?

This is because setVehicleComponentVisible is a client-side only function.
It's actually possible to combine 2 models into the same file and run them without ID's, or make a custom system for ID's.
I've successfully added different vehicles to MTA without replacing anything.
Note it's not advised because the file size just gets insane, textures get jumbled up, and other things.

Is there a way to use like vehicle upgrades(AddVehicleUpgrade)?

[Hydra]

Use: setVehicleVariant(arg1, arg2)
