OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Required Arguments
  • theVehicle: The vehicle to add sirens
  • sirenCount: The amount of siren points on the vehicle (8 maximum)
  • sirenType: An integer between 1 and 6 (1: invisible, 2: single, 3+: dual)
Optional Arguments

NOTE: When using optional arguments, you might need to supply all arguments before the one you wish to use.

  • flag360 (default: false): Visible from all directions (applies to single type only)
  • checkLosFlag (default: true): Check line of sight between camera and light so it won't draw if blocked

Code Examples

shared

This example adds a siren for the vehicle, then sets two custom sirens at the top of the vehicle. And then removes the siren when getting out the vehicle.

addEventHandler('onPlayerVehicleEnter', root, function(vehicle, seat)
   if (seat == 0) then
      addVehicleSirens(vehicle, 2, 2)
      setVehicleSirens(vehicle, 1, -0.3, 0, 0.8, 0, 0, 255, 255, 255)
      setVehicleSirens(vehicle, 2, 0.3, 0, 0.8, 255, 0, 0, 255, 255)
      -- You can also make the sirens flash immediately with 'setVehicleSirensOn(vehicle, true)'
   end
end)


addEventHandler('onPlayerVehicleExit', root, function(vehicle, seat)
   removeVehicleSirens(vehicle)
end)
