SetVehicleVariant

From Multi Theft Auto: Wiki

This function sets the variant of a specified vehicle. In GTA SA 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 GTA SA variant list see: Vehicle variants

[[{{{image}}}|link=]] Tip: Both variant arguments need to be supplied, otherwise random ones will be picked.
[[{{{image}}}|link=]] Tip: If you only want one variant, set 'variant2' to 255. If you want no variants, then set both 'variant1' and 'variant2' to 255
[[{{{image}}}|link=]] 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.

Example

This example lets the vehicle driver set their vehicle variant with setvehvar

function setMyVehiclesVariant(theUser, command, var1, var2)
    local var1, var2 = tonumber(var1), tonumber(var2) -- If anything was passed make sure its number or nil
    local myVeh = getPedOccupiedVehicle(theUser) -- Get the vehicle that they're in
    if (myVeh and getVehicleController(myVeh) == theUser) then -- Make sure they're in control
        local wasSet = setVehicleVariant(myVeh, var1, var2) -- Set what they wanted
        if (wasSet) then
            outputChatBox("Vehicle variant successfully set!", theUser, 0, 255, 0)
        else
            outputChatBox("Vehicle variant unsuccessfully set.", theUser, 255, 255, 0)
        end
    end
end
addCommandHandler("setvehvar", setMyVehiclesVariant) -- Add the command
