C# GetAllVehicles argument

FRB_Jop · 2019-04-01T17:37:53.394Z

In C#, the function GetAllVehicles is declared as follows:

public static int GetAllVehicles(ref int vehArray);

Isn’t this supposed to be:

public static int GetAllVehicles(ref int[] vehArray);

As this function is supposed to return the count of vehicles, and push all the different vehicle ID’s into the array. The way this function is currently declared in C#, i am supposed to only send 1 integer by reference.

Anyone who knows how this is supposed to be used?

Kind regards,
Jop

Vehicle[] allvehicles = World.GetAllVehicles();

try that?

That works, but i am puzzeling between Vehicle functions and functions that just require Vehicle IDs (integers). For instance, i can use:

CreateVehicle

And

World.CreateVehicle

Difference is that one returns type Vehicle other returns type Integer. Is it possible to convert the Vehicle type to an integer Vehicle ID?

Are you talking about native methods?

FRB_Jop · 2019-04-01T18:02:14.303Z

Yes, some are based on World natives (Vehicle Type) and some in C# are available in the API which use integer type.

For instance, if i look at the FiveM documentation i find the following:

void SET_VEHICLE_ALARM(Vehicle vehicle, BOOL state);

In C# however i find the following:

public static void SetVehicleAlarm(int vehicle, bool state);

Well sometimes the NativesDB natives can be weird as there are so many of them to get right. Probably just gonna have to wait for them to fix that native to return an int[] by hoping they read this topic and patch it.

In C# I try to stick to using the object structure it has as most of the natives are tied into the classes. You will find times to use the NativeDB API but I have found that it isn’t too much.

since for example the alarm is already nested under the Vehicle object returned from the C# version of GetAllVehicles() so no reason to use the NativesDB API for most of those things.

            Vehicle[] allvehicles = World.GetAllVehicles();
            if (allvehicles[0] != null)
            {
                allvehicles[0].AlarmTimeLeft = 5; // This might need to be after StartAlarm()... Oh well.
                allvehicles[0].StartAlarm();
            }

Alright, thanks for your support. One last question:

The reason i didnt use the Vehicle type, is because i couldn’t figure out how to add mods to vehicles created with this type. Do you know how to add for instance spoilers to this type?

I mean the substitute for:

void SET_VEHICLE_MOD(Vehicle vehicle, int modType, int modIndex, BOOL customTires);

Because in C# it’s:

public static void SetVehicleMod(int vehicle, int modType, int modIndex, bool customTires);

            Vehicle[] allvehicles = World.GetAllVehicles();
            if (allvehicles[0] != null)
            {
                allvehicles[0].Mods[VehicleModType.Spoilers].Index = 0;
            }

Maybe something like that. I have not messed with vehicle mods but following Visual Studio’s IntelliSense it seems that would be the way to do it.

Oh wow, ur totally right, i completely missed that. Thanks man.

xander1998 · 2019-04-01T18:36:03.595Z

Your welcome.

Oh one more question though, as we are at it, have you figured out how to set Neon lights? i only finds functions that retrieve wether the Vehicle has neon or not, but not where i can set it.

            Vehicle[] allvehicles = World.GetAllVehicles();
            if (allvehicles[0] != null)
            {
                allvehicles[0].Mods[VehicleModType.Spoilers].Index = 0;
                allvehicles[0].Mods.SetNeonLightsOn(VehicleNeonLight.Front, true);
                allvehicles[0].Mods.SetNeonLightsOn(VehicleNeonLight.Back, true);
                allvehicles[0].Mods.SetNeonLightsOn(VehicleNeonLight.Left, true);
                allvehicles[0].Mods.SetNeonLightsOn(VehicleNeonLight.Right, true);
                allvehicles[0].Mods.NeonLightsColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(100, 255, 0, 0); // Can use System.Drawing to shorten
            }
