Server side setVehicleColor doesn't always work

[Tuna]

Again cause there is no bug reporting system I'm posting here...

After getting a report that my vehicle system was not setting vehicle colours correctly I had to investigate. The vehicle is created on login, and then the model, colours, paintjob, location, rotation, health, upgrades are set.

Yet players are seeing different colours. In runcode the vehicle colour is set correctly on the server, but on the client the colour is not being set the same.

I guess i'll have to make a client event just to set the colour of a vehicle right.

Can you create a simple script that reproduces this?

It may be to do with the paintjob.

  
function reproduceMTABug(player) 
    local createdVeh = createVehicle(535, unpack({getElementPosition(player)})) 
    if (createdVeh) then 
        setVehicleColor(createdVeh, 51, 1, 0, 0) 
        setVehiclePaintjob(createdVeh, 2) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("vehiclebug", reproduceMTABug) 
  

When sat in the same vehicle:

Server side:

getVehicleColor(getPedOccupiedVehicle(getPlayerFromName("yourName")))

Command results: 51 [number], 1 [number], 0 [number], 0 [number]

Client side:

getVehicleColor(getPedOccupiedVehicle(getPlayerFromName("yourName")))

Command results: 97 [number], 1 [number], 0 [number], 0 [number]

It turns out the problem is setVehiclePaintjob.

setVehiclePaintjob gives your vehicle a random colour so the colour has to be set after the paintjob. Would be nice if setVehiclePaintjob got the current colour and set that once it has changed the paint job.
