set Vehiclecolor to White only.

[ajunong1]

Hi, I'm making a race map in gamemode race only.

I have created a custom paintjob which replaces one file in the sultan.txd.

When I try my map, the paintjob appears, however, there's an overlay of the game's random coloring, it's a random color each time it's spawned.

What I want to do is make it so that all players see the same white color, so that the paintjob is properly displayed.

I can't figure out what to do.

I've tried this, but it still doesn't work...

 addEventHandler ("onClientPlayerVehicleEnter", 
    function ( ) 
        setVehicleColor ( source, 255, 255, 255 ) 
    end 
) 

Any vets able to help?

It doesn't works because the source of the onClientPlayerVehicleEnter is "the player that entered the vehicle", To set the color of the vehicle you'll need something like this:

addEventHandler ("onClientPlayerVehicleEnter", 
    function ( vehicle ) 
        setVehicleColor ( vehicle, 255, 255, 255 ) 
    end 
)

Just tried your script.

That didn't work either.

My spawns are still giving random colors.

btw, I'm putting the code in a separate .lua

then having it executed in the race map's meta.xml in the same dir.

if it helps troubleshooting.

That event is triggered when a player enters the vehicle, not when it spawns. Try using onClientResourceStart instead and loop through all the spawned vehicles. You'll need to use this getElementsByType.

What does it mean, loop through all the spawned vehicles?

My map currently has 10 spawnpoints.

I'm really newbie at scripting.

I just want a script which makes all race cars white when the map loads.

You can use the "onMapStarting" event to loop through the vehicles.

addEvent('onMapStarting') 
addEventHandler('onMapStarting', root, function() 
 for index, vehicle in pairs(getElementsByType('vehicle')) do 
  setVehicleColor(vehicle, 255, 255, 255) 
 end 
end)

The most efficient way would be to find the createVehicle function within the race resource and add the white color as parameters to that, (or set the color directly after it's created). Try an editor like Atom from Github which let's you search through multiple files at once.

The difference would be a matter of few milliseconds, so the difference is barely worth mentioning. Whichever is more convenient.

What's wrong with black? you're a racist or something ?

That's true, although you would also get all the relative stuff in one place which is an advantage as well.

Aye. Though I would argue unless you're able to understand the Race resource - you would be better off creating it externally in your own resource. Either way works!
