how does vehicle variants works ?

[Sowban]

Hi friends
I have a question about how to use vehicle variant in createVehicle() 

example : 

vehicle name  : romero | vehicle id : 442 | variants : coffins: 0 = brown style1, 1 = Black Style2, 2 = Brown Style3 [ref]

thank you

Use https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/SetVehicleVariant on the created vehicle and pass the desired arguments.

Hey taking advantage of this thread to ask a question xD: Has anyone tried adding more than 5 variants to a vehicle model?

The wiki says you can have extra1, extra2, extra3, extra4 or extra5, but would extra6 ... work?

I believe the limit is extra1 through extra6 - I have tried adding extra7, and it would not spawn

This could help you create a custom variant system

Oh nice, you add as many vehicle components as you want right?

That is correct, although be cautious with just how many you add, as each component adds more draw calls which requires more CPU processing time

If you want more vehicle parts just don't use vehicle variants and use setVehicleComponentVisible instead. You can make how many parts you want for a car and when you start the resource use setVehicleComponentVisible(vehicle, theComponent(from the chassis only), state(false/true)) and use ElementStreamIn functions to sync the car parts for everyone
