[Help]Import elegy1.txd and tuning parts

[igthomas]

Hi I'm new in the MTA Community but not very new in scripting so I know some basics.

What I want is to import elegy1.txd, elegy2.txd,... And tuning parts like bumper, exhausts, etc

Is that possible?

It is. As you know, upgrades are -objects- (at least as far as I know?). You need to replace the objects.

And if I was wrong, you should make a script that attaches upgrades to your car (objects) and they're replaced with you .txd's.

Make a script to replace them!

Strange I did everything like in the wiki and still not working

outputChatBox ( "> replacing the uranus vehicle" ) 
  
txd = engineLoadTXD ( "data/uranus.txd" ) 
engineImportTXD ( txd, 558 ) 
dff = engineLoadDFF ( "data/uranus.dff", 558 ) 
engineReplaceModel ( dff, 558 ) 
  
outputChatBox ( "> replacing paintjob1" ) 
paintjob1 = engineLoadTXD ( "data/uranus1.txd" ) 
engineImportTXD ( paintjob1, 558 ) 
  
outputChatBox ( "> replacing paintjob2" ) 
paintjob2 = engineLoadTXD ( "data/uranus2.txd" ) 
engineImportTXD ( paintjob2, 558 ) 
  
outputChatBox ( "> replacing paintjob3" ) 
paintjob3 = engineLoadTXD ( "data/uranus3.txd" ) 
engineImportTXD ( paintjob3, 558 ) 
  
outputChatBox ( "> replacing exh_a_u" ) 
exh_a_u = engineLoadDFF ( "data/exh_a_u.dff" ) 
engineImportDFF ( exh_a_u, 1089 )

You should read the scripting tutorial before even continuing! Well anyway, here:

  
function cars() 
outputChatBox ( "> replacing the uranus vehicle" ) 
  
txd = engineLoadTXD ( "data/uranus.txd" ) 
engineImportTXD ( txd, 558 ) 
dff = engineLoadDFF ( "data/uranus.dff", 558 ) 
engineReplaceModel ( dff, 558 ) 
  
outputChatBox ( "> replacing paintjob1" ) 
paintjob1 = engineLoadTXD ( "data/uranus1.txd" ) 
engineImportTXD ( paintjob1, 558 ) 
  
outputChatBox ( "> replacing paintjob2" ) 
paintjob2 = engineLoadTXD ( "data/uranus2.txd" ) 
engineImportTXD ( paintjob2, 558 ) 
  
outputChatBox ( "> replacing paintjob3" ) 
paintjob3 = engineLoadTXD ( "data/uranus3.txd" ) 
engineImportTXD ( paintjob3, 558 ) 
  
outputChatBox ( "> replacing exh_a_u" ) 
exh_a_u = engineLoadDFF ( "data/exh_a_u.dff" ) 
engineImportDFF ( exh_a_u, 1089 ) 
end 
addCommandHandler("replacecars", cars) 

Type /replacecars to replace the skins.... And also you need to add the .txd's to your meta.

ok my brain is getting hot now :@

Well here's how I did my structure:

Resources

-Parts

----data

------elegy1.txd

------elegy2.txd

------elegy3.txd

------exh_a_l.dff

----script.lua

----meta.xml

script.lua:

function replaceModel() 
outputChatBox ( "> replacing the elegy vehicle" ) 
  
outputChatBox ( "> replacing paintjob1" ) 
paintjob1 = engineLoadTXD ( "data/elegy1.txd" ) 
engineImportTXD ( paintjob1, 562 ) 
  
outputChatBox ( "> replacing paintjob2" ) 
paintjob2 = engineLoadTXD ( "data/elegy2.txd" ) 
engineImportTXD ( paintjob2, 562 ) 
  
outputChatBox ( "> replacing paintjob3" ) 
paintjob3 = engineLoadTXD ( "data/elegy3.txd" ) 
engineImportTXD ( paintjob3, 562 ) 
  
outputChatBox ( "> replacing exh_a_l" ) 
exh_a_l = engineLoadDFF ( "data/exh_a_l.dff" ) 
engineImportDFF ( exh_a_u, 1034 ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), replaceModel) 
addCommandHandler("replacecars", replaceModel) 

meta.xml:

    type="script" description="Car parts" author="Thomas" version="1.0.0" name="parts" /> 
    

When I start the resource I do /replacecars then I show me that it has replaced the car parts and it even rejects me from my car when I'm in and when I tune it. It doesn't show me the paintjobs and the exhaust is like from the original elegy

Xeno@ Thanks man, I've read the entire scripting guide even from other sites and other tutorials and all functions and events and it didn't help me with this problem

That may mean the files are bugged or dont work.
