Vehicle components server-side

[ARYDER]

Hello!

Imagine that a vehicle has several body kits in the form of vehicle components. I can edit their visibility on the client side (setVehicleComponentVisible), but how do I do this on the server side for all players? Move client-side operations to server then back to client-side for all players? Or is there an easier way?
Or is it possible to turn components (body kits) into upgrades? (Which have shared function addVehicleUpgrade)

I have found one of the solutions here:

Is there a simpler solution?

Client side

addDebugHook ("postFunction", function(sourceResource, functionName, isAllowedByACL, luaFilename, luaLineNumber, ... )
	if sourceResource == getThisResource() then return end
	
	local args = {...}
	
	local veh = args[1]
	local comp = args[2]
	local visible = args[3]
	
	local compVisible = getElementData(veh, "component_visible") or {}
	
	compVisible[comp] = visible
	
	setElementData(veh, "component_visible", compVisible)
end, {"setVehicleComponentVisible"})

addEventHandler ("onClientElementStreamIn", root, function()
	if getElementType(source) ~= "vehicle" then return end
	
	local compVisible = getElementData(source, "component_visible") or {}
	
	for comp, visible in pairs (compVisible) do
		setVehicleComponentVisible (source, comp, visible)
	end
end)

addEventHandler ("onClientElementDataChange", root, function(db, _, visible)
	if db ~= "component_visible" then return end
	if getElementType (source) ~= "vehicle" then return end
	
	local compVisible = getElementData(source, "component_visible") or {}
	
	for comp, visible in pairs (compVisible) do
		setVehicleComponentVisible (source, comp, visible)
	end
end)

Hope it works! I can't even test it with other players, but code looks RELIABLE,  TY

Am I supposed to use this outside of the resource, where I change the visibility of components?

No, you can use this code in outside resource
