[attempt to call global 'engineRequestModel']

4 minutes ago, Addlibs said:

Reference site also mentions that this function is client-only, with the big red "Client-side function" text on the top-right of the page. This means you cannot use this function in a server-side script. "global.lua" is, I assume, both client and server: the server's debug log is telling you that this function is not defined (i.e. is a nil value).

okay yea, you replied to my issue, as I was typing.. basically, I realised my mistake, made it main.lua, fixed up the meta.xml, and now, it works with vehicles, but.. it spawns the same vehicle, and the ID's are always the same, plus you cannot enter the vehicle, or damage it..

the cars do not respond to anything, like trying to enter it, damage, nothing, plus it spawns one model only, I'd like to be able to make multiple ID's of singular SA Models, like one ID, lets say, " 401 " and make it so lets say random_IDs = 401, with 401 being bravura, so you can set .txd and .dff to random_IDs, and it changes random_IDs each car to each .txd and .dff files, with 401 being unaffected but, random_IDs being the same SA model as 401.. I hope you get my point.. like make bravura x5, each having their own ID " F.I. 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 " and being able to set .dff, .txd to each of them..

every time I input cav in chat ( create allocated vehicle ) it spurts out an ERROR, the one above..

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/EngineRequestModel

reference site, used to make this script, at the top it says " After release 1.5.8 r20716 this function supports "vehicle" and "object" too. " so I tried to recreate it with vehicles, because that's what I need, but it didn't really work out.. Any help appreciated..

[different mods on singular SA vehicle model]

Hello,

I am willing to add multiple mods ( .txd .dff ) for example on a ((BMX SA Model : 481)) and I was wondering, how I could accomplish that, because I know that it is possible, another Latvian server had it, but it is currently inactive, and I am trying to make a project of my own, for me and my friends, so we can have fun on our own, so if anyone could help me get that done, I would be highly grateful.. I heard something about shaders, maybe that’s what they had done, if so, could someone explain, walk me through it, on how I could do that? My discord, just in case.. dqlepy#9090

Thanks in advance, for any useful help..

but with the code like this, it says F.I. " 18:4 "

this did also not work.. ^^^

^^^  - This is an active real-time clock that sits in a box on the top right of the screen, that has zone names depending on player position..

I need the 0 in front of the time, but only for the first 9 hours..

I tried this code, but then the whole script doesn't work, and says " undefined " everywhere, I also tried editing, and I can get it to say for instance " 23 " and not the ":" or minutes.

    local time = getRealTime()
    local hours = time.hour
    local minutes = time.minute
-- checks if hours < 10, sets 0 to front
    if (hours < 10) then
        hours = "0"..time.hour
    end
    if (minutes < 10) then
        minutes = "0"..time.minute

Why can't you place the rectangle down there? Also use math.floor to get a integer out of a float:

math.floor(97.2371) = 97

I dont really understand how coordinates work, it took me like 2 hours just to get the " 100% " health window down there, and after that it took me another 40 minutes for the name...  + I dont know how to set the color to change on health for instance for when you are at like 15% health for it to be very redish dark orange..

[[help request] Simple Health % / name HUD resource]

Hello,

I am currently working on my roleplay server project, and I am trying to make a very simple resource, a HUD health / name resource, here is what I am trying to exactly replicate :

https://imgur.com/a/9FxoPEl

(( this is all there is, health and name in bottom left corner ))

https://imgur.com/a/c9BZr9l

(( this is what I currently have made ))

I have gotten the health and name down there, but I cannot place the dxDrawRectangle there, and when you get damaged it doesn't update, and if you update the resource the health shows for instance.. " 97.23712956% " not.. " 97% "

I need help replicating that resource..
