custom models

[Prieto_Galletini]

ok so my code worked fine so i tried to add another custom car to try it out without looking at the wiki. the first one was using the wiki

heres the code, to see if you guys see something wrong in here, it loads without errors and it loads the elegy new dff and txd but the banshee's do not load

function ReplaceVehicle ( ) 
  
  
-- skyline(elegy) 
    elgtx = engineLoadTXD ( "files/elegy.txd" ) 
    engineImportTXD ( elgtx, 562 ) 
    elgdf = engineLoadDFF ( "files/elegy.dff", 562 ) 
    engineReplaceModel ( elgdf, 562 ) 
     
-- viper(banshee) 
    vprtx = engineLoadTXD ( "files/banshee.txd" ) 
    engineImportTXD ( vprtx, 429 ) 
    vprdf = engineLoadDFF ( "files/banshee.dff" ) 
    engineReplaceModel ( vprdf, 429 ) 
end 
  
  
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getRootElement(), ReplaceVehicle )

Any errors you get?

You don't want to reload new models every time resources start, so change getRootElement() to getResourceRootElement( getThisResource() ).

Output some messages to make sure engineLoadTXD and engineLoadDFF didn't fail.

function ReplaceVehicle ( ) 
  
outputChatBox ( "cargando skyline" ) 
-- skyline(elegy) 
    elgtx = engineLoadTXD ( "files/elegy.txd" ) 
    engineImportTXD ( elgtx, 562 ) 
    elgdf = engineLoadDFF ( "files/elegy.dff", 562 ) 
    engineReplaceModel ( elgdf, 562 ) 
outputChatBox ( "ya se ha cargado el skyline" ) 
  
outputChatBox ( "cargando viper" ) 
    -- viper(banshee) 
    vprtx = engineLoadTXD ( "files/banshee.txd" ) 
    engineImportTXD ( vprtx, 429 ) 
    vprdf = engineLoadDFF ( "files/banshee.dff" ) 
    engineReplaceModel ( vprdf, 429 ) 
outputChatBox ( "se ha cargado el viper" ) 
  
  
end 
  
  
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), ReplaceVehicle ) 

i made it how you said and still the viper ain't showing look

heres meta.xml in case the problem is in there

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>>  author="Prieto" type="script" name="models" />  ="models.lua" type="client" />  ="srv_models.lua" />  src="files/elegy.dff" />  src="files/elegy.txd" />  src="files/banshee.txd" />  src="files/banshee.dff" />>

Thanks in advance.

    vprdf = engineLoadDFF ( "files/banshee.dff" ) 

You didn't specify the model ID in engineLoadDFF for the banshee

nice skyline by the way

Maybe I wasn't clear enough but usually when you debug your script/program you output what functions returned. For instance:

viper = engineLoadDFF( "viper.dff", 560 ); 
outputChatBox( tostring( viper ) ); -- output what is viper, if it is false, then loading failed

thank you both this is what was missing and thank you 50p for teaching me how to output if worked or not thanks again both.

I'm really liking this community a lot. so you guys can play on my Role play GM like in one year when it's finished hahaha

another question does this works for player skins too?

Check this post https://forum.multitheftauto.com/viewtop ... 18#p292835 and see for yourself.

si its basically the same thing right? sorry fir asking too much and this is my skin change ped but it does not work for now so please take a look, if you see some error's let me know

thanks in advance

function ReplaceSkin ( ) 
  
        tiptx = engineLoadTXD ( "skins/bmybar.txd" ) 
        engineImportTXD ( tiptx, 176 ) 
        tipdf = engineLoadDFF ( "skins/bmybar.dff", 176 ) 
        engineReplaceModel ( tipdf, 176 ) 
  
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), ReplaceSkin ) 

and another thing i know this is a dumb question does the word that goes always after

function 

does it have to be something specific or it can be any word i want?

[50p]

Yes, it's the same way to replace textures but you can't replace the models. Only custom objects and vehicles are supported, not pedestrians (characters).

The word after "function" can be anything you like because it's a name of a function. You can then call this function from another functions or attach this function to an event (that's what you do with addEventHandler).
