Pair: getVehicleWheelScale

This function sets the scale of all the wheels of a vehicle. The wheel scale multiplies the visible height and length (but not width) of all the wheels in a vehicle, without affecting their collisions or the handling, similarly to setVehicleComponentScale. The wheel scale is applied after the model wheel size.

Note

Installing or removing a wheel upgrade from a vehicle resets the wheel scale to the default value.

Tip

The default value for vehicles without wheel upgrades is 1, which renders the wheels in the model as usual. On the other hand, the default value for vehicles with a wheel upgrade is the size of the wheels in the front axle of the vehicle model.

Code Examples

shared

This example adds ashrinkwheelscommand that reduces the wheel scale of a vehicle in half each time it is invoked.

addCommandHandler("shrinkwheels", function()
    local veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer)
    if veh then
        local newScale = getVehicleWheelScale(veh) * 0.5
        setVehicleWheelScale(veh, newScale)
        outputChatBox("Vehicle wheel scale set to " .. newScale .. ".", 0, 255, 0)
    else
        outputChatBox("You must be in a vehicle to use this command.", 255, 0, 0)
    end
end)
