This function changes the lighting value for the specified element. This can be a player, ped, vehicle, object, weapon.

Note

Lighting is calculated in real-time every frame. Therefore, to correctly override the lighting, you should use this function in combination with the onClientPedsProcessed event, not only for peds, but also for vehicles and objects.

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

  • Method:element:setLighting(...)
  • Variable: .lighting

Syntax 

bool setElementLighting ( element theElement, float lighting )
Required Arguments
  • theElement: The element whose lighting you want to change.
  • lighting: The lighting value that you want to set.

Returns

  • bool: value

Code Examples

This example sets the lighting value of all players and vehicles to 10

addEventHandler("onClientPedsProcessed",root,function()
    for _, v in pairs(getElementsByType('player')) do
        setElementLighting(v, 10)
    end
    for _, v in pairs(getElementsByType('vehicle')) do
        setElementLighting(v, 10)
    end
end)
