vehicles.ide

[Carl Rayanitch DZ]

is there a way to run the file vehicles.ide trough a script that loads that file? just like we can with handling.cfg.

i feel like there's functions missing for vehicles.ide to even be possiblle to load in an mtasa server.

thoughts?

You can do the loading of the vehicles.ide file as done at Handling Loader by fileOpen, fileRead functioons

tell me more about it, i've never heard about these things, explain breifly pls

[FileEX]

The player places the vehicles.ide file in the mta->mods->deathmatch->resources->your resource directory
Then, from the script level, you open this file and load data from it. Exactly the same as the script above. You can check its source code

If you just want to have the vehicles.ide file on the server, you can upload it to your server's FTP and load it on the server side. I don't know what you want to achieve, but the only option is to manually read the file contents and parse its contents

the problem is how do i load vehicles.ide from server side or whatever...? i don't think there's enough functions for mta to at least read wheel type either.

Upload your vehicles.ide to your server's FTP and load it on the server side with fileOpen and fileRead.

what i mostly want from vehicles.ide is to make vehs load with an 'mtruck'.

[Carl Rayanitch DZ]

mta has to make a function for wheels in vehicles.ide to change vehs wheels type. can't make it work for now...

[FileEX]

What do you mean by wheel type?

Monster Truck and a Bike and a Car don't have the same wheel collider. you can look up 3d wheel collider gtasa on YT

[FileEX]

Use setVehicleModelWheelSize or setVehicleWheelScale

This is what OP shared in discord a while ago (but did not share here) @FileEX

^^ nice video

So could we have that changing of wheel collider in MTA? Probably with some reverse engineering and hooks yes

Using custom physics, maybe. Dynamic objects use whole body colliders too just like the wheel in the video. But you'd have to find a way to use those dynamic objects as your vehicle's wheels instead of its default wheel model and collider

why don't we add vehicles.ide just like handling config in MTA ?
