engineReplaceModel Glitch

[masgoku]

I have made a script for replacing vehicle models in my server, it work fine for the first four vehicles and now it won't work at all but script is the same all the way through out.

This is the script below and before you ask I do have everything in the meta for the models.

function ReplaceVehicle ( ) 
  
txd = engineLoadTXD ( "monster3.txd" ) 
engineImportTXD ( txd, 557 ) 
dff = engineLoadDFF ( "monster3.dff", 0 ) 
engineReplaceModel ( dff, 557 ) 
end 
addEvent ( "replaceVeh", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "replaceVeh", getRootElement(), ReplaceVehicle ) 
  
function ReplaceVehicle ( ) 
  
txd = engineLoadTXD ( "infernus.txd" ) 
engineImportTXD ( txd, 411 ) 
dff = engineLoadDFF ( "infernus.dff", 0 ) 
engineReplaceModel ( dff, 411 ) 
end 
addEvent ( "replaceVeh", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "replaceVeh", getRootElement(), ReplaceVehicle ) 
  
function ReplaceVehicle ( ) 
  
txd = engineLoadTXD ( "cheetah.txd" ) 
engineImportTXD ( txd, 415 ) 
dff = engineLoadDFF ( "cheetah.dff", 0 ) 
engineReplaceModel ( dff, 415 ) 
end 
addEvent ( "replaceVeh", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "replaceVeh", getRootElement(), ReplaceVehicle ) 
  
function ReplaceVehicle ( ) 
  
txd = engineLoadTXD ( "hustler.txd" ) 
engineImportTXD ( txd, 545 ) 
dff = engineLoadDFF ( "hustler.dff", 0 ) 
engineReplaceModel ( dff, 545 ) 
end 
addEvent ( "replaceVeh", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "replaceVeh", getRootElement(), ReplaceVehicle ) 
  
function ReplaceVehicle ( ) 
  
txd = engineLoadTXD ( "comet.txd" ) 
engineImportTXD ( txd, 480 ) 
dff = engineLoadDFF ( "comet.dff", 0 ) 
engineReplaceModel ( dff, 480 ) 
end 
addEvent ( "replaceVeh", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "replaceVeh", getRootElement(), ReplaceVehicle )

local vehicls = { 
-- [carID] = "car file name", 
[557] = "monster3", 
[411] = "infernus", 
[415] = "cheetah", 
[545] = "hustler", 
[480] = "comet", 
} 
  
function ReplaceVehicle ( ) 
    for id,name in pairs(vehicls) do 
    txd = engineLoadTXD ( name..".txd" ) 
    engineImportTXD ( txd, id ) 
    dff = engineLoadDFF ( name..".dff", 0 ) 
    engineReplaceModel ( dff, id ) 
    end 
end 
addEvent ( "replaceVeh", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "replaceVeh", getRootElement(), ReplaceVehicle )

If it truly doesn't work, I guess it could be some memory issue. Avoid using a lot of ridiculously over-sized models and textures.

However, that said, there is something wrong with model replacing for sure. I've modded in a few vehicles into MTA myself, and randomly(albeit rarely) they will sort of lose their suspension setting or something. They just slide along on the ground. Similar to when you give hydraulics to the monster truck - except the wheels look fine.

Absolutely no clue what causes it.

Hey I tried this the same issue is still happening not sure why, but thanks I will use this method in the future much more clean looking.

I tried ALw7sh's method still same issue think it might just be a weird issue with MTA honestly.

Would be helpful if you could link us to the same models you are using so we could test this on our end and maybe find the cause.

Hey, here are the vehicle models in a zip for you guys to download and work with.

Vehicles.zip

I uploaded the file to dropbox for more convenience. So enjoy and maybe we can resolve the issue I am having.

I uploaded on 4Shared, so you can make an account or use Facebook and various other things to download the file.

I'd recommend you look into setting up an account with Dropbox, or one of the many other cloud storage solutions available, so users don't have to surrender all of their personal information to download a file.

Yeah good Idea I just changed the link and here it is https://www.dropbox.com/s/x115kys320mlav3/Vehicles.zip?dl=0

Now when you click the one above it is also dropbox.
