Hi there,
I am trying to add police vehicles to FiveM with custom model names such as bmwarv. Now, it works perfect if we use stock handling but as soon as we add our own handling.meta the lights and sirens stop working and it has just a normal civ horn.
Is this a FiveM limitation or am I being stupid?
You have something not configured properly. All of the vehicles on my server are add-on and have custom handling lines (even ones that overwrite defaults) so it’s def possible. Mind sharing your vehicles.meta and handling.metas so I can take a peak?
some1 know with ones you need to change in handling.meta and vehicles.meta so the cars goes faster and lower time to reach top speed?
yeah but w/ ones 
sry for being a retard:ok_man:
Ya’ll really need to learn to use the search button, LOL:
Yes here you go;
vehicles.meta:

These look correct to me. Do you have the carvariations.meta? You need that. Also if you’ve merged w/ existing metas make sure you are clearing your server cache and restarting the sessionmanager. If not the vehicle may not appear when spawned.

Here you go @Dixxycup
They spawn fine but since they are police vehicles the lights and sirens don’t work unless we remove the custom handling.
The handling.meta shouldn’t have anything to do w/ the car class (which you have correct as emergency). The only thing I can see that is different than the ones we run is “srtHandlingFlags” should be 0 (or is 0 on all our police vehicles) but again I don’t think that has anything to do w/ the car classification.
If you wanna zip and upload the model/metas to a google drive and send me a download link I can throw it on one of our test servers and see if I can get it to work. Other than that and what I listed above you appear to have everything done correctly.
I’ll PM you the dropbox link since the forums don’t like anything above a certain filesize.
Anyone else have any solutions also having this issue?
I’m gonna play w/ the files tonight @ItsTimbo (our server had a busy weekend, apologies).
Hey @ItsTimbo ,
So I took the files you sent me and put them on my server exactly as they came over. First I did the vehicle as a separate resource and then merged it into our existing metas. It worked both ways so I’m not really sure what else to do. Is your server streaming the Luxart siren controls? Double check the settings there if you’re using that. Otherwise the vehicle itself is put together and works properly so it has to be some other sort of conflict. Sorry man, wish I could be more helpful.
