setVehicleVariant Function

[..:D&G:..]

Hello, I saw this function

setVehicleVariant 

And I don't know what it does, I tried the wiki but I still don't get it.. Does it sets the speed of a vehicle or something?

No, is not that.

This function sets the variant of a specified vehicle. In GTA SA some vehicles are different for example the labelling on trucks or the contents of a pick-up truck and the varying types of a motor bike.

It is used in 3D modeling for extra object's.

Like i add a spoiler on the infernus and i name it "extra1". InGame the spoiler will not be showed . To make the spoiler visible you need to use "setVehicleVariant" .

This function could be using for a custom car tunning , without using "attachElement" to the car , it makes the tunning a bit easyer

To make it simpler: there are different variations for a vehicle in GTA. Some van variations have boxes in the trunk and some have speakers in the trunk, some have none. These are variations (plain English, use translator).
