Snow Winter = Slide

How would I globally decrease the grip of car tires to simulate traction loss in ice/snow?

setModelHandling

Any way to do this globally instead of manually going through and setting the handlings.

Yeah, you can. Use getElementsByType to get all the vehicles, then loop through them and use setVehicleHandling.

Hi codylewiz,

Here's something I wrote just now. It does exactly what you want.

I've added in a function to reset every handling property globally so you can play around with different properties and settings.

This isn't necessary because if you remove one of the properties in the second function then those properties won't get reset to their default values.

Hope this helps,

Tails

  
function resetHandling() 
    for _,veh in pairs(getElementsByType("vehicle")) do 
        local model = getElementModel(veh) 
        local propTable = getOriginalHandling(model) 
        for k,v in pairs(propTable) do 
            setVehicleHandling(veh,k,v) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart",root,resetHandling) 
  
function changeHandling(veh) 
    local model = getElementModel(veh) 
    local propTable = getOriginalHandling(model) 
     
    local prop = "tractionLoss" 
    local value = propTable[prop] 
    setVehicleHandling(veh,prop,value-0.25) 
    outputChatBox("Original "..prop.." value: "..value,source) 
     
    local prop = "tractionBias" 
    local value = propTable[prop] 
    setVehicleHandling(veh,prop,value+0.20) 
    outputChatBox("Original "..prop.." value: "..value,source) 
end
