Since MTA Race maps became very "cluttered" with useless objects like hipoly trees and ect. That causes lag / FPS drops for some players. About the idea, is is posibble to hide specified obejcts for player ?

setElementVisibleTo ( element theElement, element visibleTo, bool visible )

Replace theElement with object, replace visibleTo with root of players, remove bool visible with false.

And what if i use: engineSetModelLODDistance ?

It would probably be best to use destroyElement on the client side, that way the game will completely remove it.

Can someone show me an example of destroyElement, i never used this so far.

Thats what i got with setting LOD distance:

function lager(thePlayer) 
for i=600,800 do 
engineSetModelLODDistance(i, 1)   
end 
end 
addCommandHandler("antilag", lager) 

600 - 800 ID's Threes, some plants.

Setting Model Lods, isn't the best way.. Well its working fine, but i think i should better use destroyElement

    function AntiLag() 
    for _, v in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( "object", root, true ) ) do  
      local id = getElementModel ( v )  
      if ( id => 600 and <= 800) then  
       destroyElement(v) 
     end  
    end 
    end

) expected near =, line 4

[Mr.unpredictable.]

Try this it will destroy the object with model id 800

function haha(modelID) 
    local obj = getElementsByType("object") 
    for i,v in ipairs(obj) do 
        if (getElementModel(v) == modelID) then 
            destroyElement(v) 
        end 
    end 
end 
 haha(800) 

[dewu]

He wants to destroy objects from id 600 to 800.

Try now:

 function AntiLag() 
    for _, v in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( "object", root, true ) ) do 
      local id = getElementModel ( v ) 
      if ( id => 600 and id <= 800) then 
       destroyElement(v) 
     end 
    end 
    end

Nah.. I've tested it again, same problem lol

[Gallardo9944]

setElementDimension to anything than 0 will hide an object, setElementDimension to 0 will show it up. Not a new idea though, been using it on my server for half a year already.

[WhoAmI]

function AntiLag() 
    for _, v in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( "object", root, true ) ) do 
      local id = getElementModel ( v ) 
      if ( id >= 600 and id <= 800) then 
       destroyElement(v) 
     end 
    end 
    end 

Try it.
