[HustraDev]

Hi i'm looking for Making a new scripts that change cars window color

could any body help me with functions or any way i can use to make it change ?

Thanks

Shaders..

[HustraDev]

can you explain more and what i use from shaders ?

[HustraDev]

anybody can explain how to do it with shaders ??

shader fx:

  
technique tintedWindow 
{ 
    pass P0 
    { 
        DepthBias = -0.0000; 
        AlphaBlendEnable = TRUE; 
        SrcBlend = SRCALPHA; 
        DestBlend = INVSRCALPHA; 
    } 
} 
  
technique fallback 
{ 
    pass P0 
    { 
     
    } 
} 
  

LUA:

  
local tintShaders = {} 
local elementShaders = {}

   [405] = "@hite",

    for _, vehicle in ipairs(getElementsByType("vehicle", root, true)) do 
        local vehicleHaveTintedWindow = getElementData(vehicle, "tuning.tintedWindow") or 0 
         
        if vehicleHaveTintedWindow ~= 0 then 
            setVehicleWindowType(vehicle)

i have tested but it doesn't work could any body help me ?!

[HustraDev]

This Script Drives me crazy

[Captain Cody]

Any thing in debug, and is everything defined right?

[HustraDev]

Any thing in debug, and is everything defined right?

Thanks for reply man but there is nothing in debug and i have a question

this scripts need a Texture ? like a image file with the window color or not?

[HustraDev]

[HustraDev]

i Have been all night trying to fix it but i failed i'm serously need Help

> could any body explain to what this code does

  
engineApplyShaderToWorldTexture(tintShaders[this][1], texture, element) 
  

[G-Stefan]

> could any body explain to what this code does

  
engineApplyShaderToWorldTexture(tintShaders[this][1], texture, element) 
  

This function aplies a shader to a given texrure.For example if you create a shader which contains an image you can use that shader to change a model texture

This is how multiple paintjobs for any vehicles are created

Are you sure you have set vehicle data?

setElementData(vehicle, "tuning.tintedWindow", 1)

Try outputing the value line 11

i do outputing and there's nothing wrong with it

  
if setElementData(vehicle,"tuning.tintedWindow",1) then 
    outputChatBox("Perfect") 
end 
  

Chat : Perfect

[roaddog]

No i mean output vehicleHaveTintedWindow variable line 11 in your script

[HustraDev]

No i mean output vehicleHaveTintedWindow variable line 11 in your script

    local vehicleHaveTintedWindow = getElementData(vehicle, "tuning.tintedWindow") or 0 then 
       if vehicleHaveTintedWindow then 
           outputChatBox("perfect") 
end 

i do this and there is nothing in chatbox

end 

i do this and there is nothing in chatbox

Try this:

local windowData = getElementData(vehicle, "tuning.tintedWindow") 
if windowData then 
outputChatBox("The data exists") 
else 
outputChatBox("Unable to get the data") 
end

First, work from the start. Make one vehicle and apply tinted windows for it.

  
local shader = dxCreateShader("tint.fx", 1, 0, true) -- Create a shader 
local vehicle = createVehicle(411, 0, 0, 4) -- This will create a vehicle on that GTA farm - in center of GTA map 
-- Apply that shader we created to vehicle(s) 
engineApplyShaderToWorldTexture(shader, "vehiclegeneric256", vehicle) -- Apply shader to windows of vehicle 
  

  
technique tint { 
    pass P0 { 
        DepthBias = 0.0000; 
        AlphaBlendEnable = FALSE; // Disable alpha blending 
        SrcBlend = SRCALPHA; // Source blend factor 
        DestBlend = INVSRCALPHA; // Destination blend factor 
    } 
} 
  
// Fallback method 
technique fallback { 
    pass P0 { 
        // Normal drawing 
    } 
} 
  

Note: You don't need to load shaders for each vehicle. Only 1 is required, then you can apply that to many elements.

what is normal drawing !?`

[GTX]

If tint technique won't work, it will trigger fallback and will normally draw shader.

EDIT:

I edited the code and tested it, it works.
