Random Vehicle colors

[isa_Khamdan]

Hmm I am wondering if I can make the car color change every 0.5 second for a selected player serial . anyway this code works but for all cars how can I bind it for a player serial?

function randomVehColors() 
    for i, car in ipairs( getElementsByType( "vehicle" ) ) do 
        local color = {} 
        color[1] = math.random(0,126)  
        color[2] = math.random(0,126) 
        color[3] = math.random(0,126) 
        color[4] = math.random(0,126)  
        setVehicleColor ( car, color[1], color[2], color[3], color[4] )  
    end 
end 
  
setTimer( randomVehColors, 500, 0 )

Hope that's what you asked for:

local theSerial = "putyourserialhere" 
  
function randomVehColors() 
  
        for _,player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
            if getPlayerSerial(player) == theSerial then 
                if isPedInVehicle(player) then 
                    local car = getPedOccupiedVehicle(player) 
                    local color = {} 
                    color[1] = math.random(0,126) 
                    color[2] = math.random(0,126) 
                    color[3] = math.random(0,126) 
                    color[4] = math.random(0,126) 
                    setVehicleColor ( car, color[1], color[2], color[3], color[4] ) 
                end 
            end 
        end 
end 
  
setTimer( randomVehColors, 500, 0 )

Thanks a lot it works great but how can I choose the car? cuz I don't want it to change the colors randomly in every car that the selected player drive

Here you go:

local theSerial = "" -- put the serial of the player 
local theCar = 411 -- put the ID of the car 
  
function randomVehColors() 
  
        for _,player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
            if getPlayerSerial(player) == theSerial then 
                if isPedInVehicle(player) then 
                    local car = getPedOccupiedVehicle(player) 
                    if getElementModel(car) == theCar then 
  
                        local color = {} 
                        color[1] = math.random(0,126) 
                        color[2] = math.random(0,126) 
                        color[3] = math.random(0,126) 
                        color[4] = math.random(0,126) 
                        setVehicleColor ( car, color[1], color[2], color[3], color[4] ) 
                    end 
                end 
            end 
        end 
end 
  
setTimer( randomVehColors, 500, 0 )

You accidentally put the ID, not variable here.

if getElementModel(car) == theCar then
