Need help on custom model script!

[TheSandwich]

Hi guys, I've been wondering if I could use custom ped models for script and not installing as a mod.

Is it possible? I've seen some server loading up custom models as an AI and loading custom objects.

[J.S.]

It's fairly simple actually, just use these functions

engineImportTXD 
engineLoadDFF 
engineLoadTXD 
engineReplaceModel

function replaceModel()  
        txd = engineLoadTXD("androm.txd", 592) 
    engineImportTXD(txd, 592) 
    dff = engineLoadDFF("androm.dff", 592 ) 
    engineReplaceModel(dff, 592) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), replaceModel )

function replaceModel()  
        txd = engineLoadTXD("androm.txd", 592) 
    engineImportTXD(txd, 592) 
    dff = engineLoadDFF("androm.dff", 592 ) 
    engineReplaceModel(dff, 592) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), replaceModel ) 
  

So Extreme123, how do I make the whole script?

Do I have to place a folder with the model inside it?

Also thanks!

aha ok Create the file and name it replace

put this Code

function replaceModel() 
        txd = engineLoadTXD("replace/androm.txd", 592)  
    engineImportTXD(txd, 592) 
    dff = engineLoadDFF("replace/androm.dff", 592 ) 
    engineReplaceModel(dff, 592) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), replaceModel )

addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), replaceModel ) 

Sorry if it took me too long to reply once again.

May I ask if this stream the models to both client and server?

Thanks for your help!

That script is client-sided.

It temprorarily replaces a model in the client's engine.

Which means you need to download the model file to the client before launching script.

After leaving the server, MTA replaces the downloaded file with a backup done BEFORE entering server.

<meta> 
 <file src="model.txd"/> 
 <file src="model.dff"/> 
 <script src="client.lua" type="client"/> 
</meta>

Last question. (Thank you for the help I got it working!)

How do I use this if I'm going to replace the anim/ped.ifp?
