This function sets the variant of a specified vehicle. In GTA: San Andreas some vehicles are different; for example the labelling on trucks or the contents of a pick-up truck and the varying types of a motor bike. For the default variant list see: Vehicle variants.

Note

The fairings on the NRG-500 and BF-400 are both variants, so unless you explicitly ask for 3 or 4, your bike will have no fairings which some people may find offensive.

Tip

Both variant arguments need to be supplied, otherwise random ones will be picked.

Tip

If you only want one variant, set ' variant2' to 255 . If you want no variants, then set both ' variant1' and ' variant2' to 255 .

Code Examples

This example lets the vehicle driver set their vehicle's variant with a command:

function setMyVehicleVariants (thePlayer, commandName, arg1, arg2)
    local variant1, variant2 = tonumber (arg1), tonumber (arg2) -- If anything was passed make sure the arguments are numbers or pass nil
    local myVeh = getPedOccupiedVehicle (thePlayer) -- Get the vehicle that the player is in

    if (myVeh and getVehicleController (myVeh) == thePlayer) then -- Make sure the player is the vehicle driver (controller)
        local wasSet = setVehicleVariant (myVeh, variant1, variant2) -- Set the vehicle variants the player passed as arguments

        if wasSet then
            outputChatBox ("Vehicle variant successfully set!", thePlayer, 0, 255, 0)
        else
            outputChatBox ("Vehicle variant unsuccessfully set.", thePlayer, 255, 255, 0)
        end
    end
end

addCommandHandler ("setvehvar", setMyVehicleVariants) -- Create the command
