Displaying Cars when name clicked in Gridlist...

[Mann56]

Hey guys,

I am working on a vehicle-system. I have seen many servers having vehicle shops have images of the car when clicked to preview before buying the car.

I have made a gridlist and i want to do like : Whenever a guy clicks a car he can see the car in the background.

I thought of using images but they would be too static... Is there any way to also make vehicles visible when their name is clicked upon and if possible some rotation to them to make a feel like a real showroom?

use createVehicle when the user clicked a vehicle or even setElementModel to change the vehicle's model once they select a new one. Then simply add a rotation timer to it that makes it rotate every 50ms.

Thanks tosfera!

The script i made is working fine but it blows up vehicles when i try to get rid of em. blowVehicle doesn't allow silent blowing up and explodes... Is there any other way to prevent explosion? My code

function click() 
            local getName = guiGridListGetItemText ( grid.car, guiGridListGetSelectedItem ( grid.car ), 3 ) 
            if not vehView then 
                 vehView = createVehicle(getName,-1952.0537109375,263.626953125,41.047080993652) 
            else 
                local modelType = getElementModel(vehView) 
                if getName == modelType then 
                return  
                else  
                    local blow = blowVehicle(vehView) 
                    vehView = createVehicle(getName,-1952.0537109375,263.626953125,41.047080993652) 
                end 
            end 
                     
            setCameraMatrix(-1956.177734375,263.4619140625,41.047080993652,-1952.0537109375,263.626953125,41.047080993652) 
        end 

EDIT : Solved , used destroyElement instead of blowVehicle. Silly me, i forgot destroyElement...

Anyway thanks tosfera for the wonderful idea!
