Turning off the engine, but not the lights

[Kaltsu]

Hello,

I have noticed that when you are using setVehicleEngineState to turn the vehicle engine off, it automatically turns the lights off aswell.

Is there any way to turn off the engine, but still keep the vehicle lights on?

You spoke about it on IRC, so maybe you'll see some fix for it in the final release or maybe in dp3. Don't be surprised if it won't be fixed at all as I think it's the way GTA was made.

Actually it wasn't me. It was Clooak, my "colleague" as we work with the script development of the same server.

And Stevvo, I don't think it is possible because at the moment we have the light on/off switch set to "L" key, but it is not working while the engine is turned off.

Turning lights off is actually desynced in the GTA, so I don't see a use of it, when only you can see the lights when you turn them on/off ...

It is synced unless set client side..

I think I have a solution for you. I use something similar to this with my vehicle parking script. Basically what you gotta do is something like this.

function shutMeOff ( thePlayer ) 
     vehicle = getPlayerOccupiedVehicle ( thePlayer ) 
     if ( vehicle ) then 
          setVehicleEngineState ( vehicle, false ) 
          setVehicleOverrideLights ( vehicle, 2 ) 
     else 
          outputChatBox ( "You need a vehicle stupid!", thePlayer, 255, 0, 0 ) 
     end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler ( "shutoff", shutMeOff ) 

just do the same essentially with the turning on, you only need to change a couple of values.
