function map() 
    txd = engineLoadTXD ( "object name.txd" ) 
        engineImportTXD ( txd, Item ID ) 
    col = engineLoadCOL ( "object name.col" ) 
    dff = engineLoadDFF ( "object name.dff", 0 ) 
    engineReplaceCOL ( col, Item ID ) 
    engineReplaceModel ( dff, Item ID ) 
    engineSetModelLODDistance(Item ID, 2000) 
end 
  
setTimer ( map, 2000, 1) 
addCommandHandler("reloadmap",map) 
  
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStop", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), 
    function() 
        engineRestoreCOL(Item ID) 
        engineRestoreModel(Item ID) 
        destroyElement(dff) 
        destroyElement(col) 
        destroyElement(txd) 
    end 
) 
  

this is the .map

"race,editor_main"> 
    "object (cen_bit_19) (1)" interior="0" collisions="true" alpha="255" doublesided="true" model="Item ID" scale="1" dimension="0" posX="0.00" posY="0.00" posZ="0.00" rotX="0.00" rotY="0.00" rotZ="0.00">

im new to mta,can you please give me some more detailed instruction,and i cant find the .col for the object,i thought i only need dff and txd,can you help me to find the .col for the object?and where to put the script please?

[spoty]

dff = object ----- is the model

txd = textures ------ gives texture to the model

col = collison ------- makes je allow to walk / drive on object

if you dont have the .col file you need to make one idk how

you need to make a folder and put there the objects and lua client script and .map file

and make a meta.xml that loads the scripts map and files

1. make a folder in your resource how ever you want to call it

2. put there your .txd .dff .col in

3. copy the scripts

4. edit the scripts [object name = how your txd dff col are called] [ item id = the object id you wanne replace with it]

if you wanne also have a maded meta.xml ask it

this is the client.lua

change object name to your file name from .txd .dff .col

change item id to the item id you wanne replace with it

function map() 
    txd = engineLoadTXD ( "object name.txd" ) 
        engineImportTXD ( txd, Item ID ) 
    col = engineLoadCOL ( "object name.col" ) 
    dff = engineLoadDFF ( "object name.dff", 0 ) 
    engineReplaceCOL ( col, Item ID ) 
    engineReplaceModel ( dff, Item ID ) 
    engineSetModelLODDistance(Item ID, 2000) 
end 
  
setTimer ( map, 2000, 1)

Do i have to create a new file?

Do i have to create a new file?

Yes, you have to create a new text file for each of them and save them accordingly.

If you're just getting started, I highly recommend you to check out the official MTA Wiki. It will explain you how to set up a new resource and how .xml files work.

It can be any name you want. If you're interested in mapping then you I suggest you try the official map editor.
