LOD Distance

[paksisoma]

Hello!

For some reason, after setting the LOD distance value, I can only reach a maximum of 325. Is there a way to increase the LOD distance to 1500?

outputChatBox(engineGetModelLODDistance(9684)) -- Returns 1500
engineSetModelLODDistance(9684, 1500)
outputChatBox(engineGetModelLODDistance(9684)) -- Returns 325

The object ID you use in your code cannot be used in mta, maybe that is why these inconsistencies

What about this?

outputChatBox(engineGetModelLODDistance(17469)) -- Returns 399
engineSetModelLODDistance(17469, 399)
outputChatBox(engineGetModelLODDistance(17469)) -- Returns 325

I think this function takes into account things like the player's video settings and the size of the object, so try to set a low value.

However, there is a general draw distance limit of 300 units. So engineSetModelLODDistance(1337,400) will mean model 1337 will be visible up to a distance of 300 units no matter what the 'Video' tab says.

Therefore, unless it's really important, engineSetModelLODDistance should not be set to anything greater than 170.
170 will still give the maximum draw distance (of 300 units) on clients that have a 'Video' tab draw distance setting of 100%, and it will help reduce lag for players who chose a lower draw distance in their settings.
