[[{{{image}}}|link=|]] Note: Please note the loading order that is used in the examples as other orders can cause collisions, textures or the DFF not to load due to technical limitations

This function loads a RenderWare Collision (COL 1/2/3) file into GTA. The collisions can then be used to provide collisions for in-game objects.

For vehicles, please omit this function by embedding your COL file into your DFF file. This way, you can be sure that the COL file is correctly (and automatically) loaded when calling engineLoadDFF.

This is a client side function. Be sure to transfer your COL file by including it in the meta file.

[[{{{image}}}|link=|]] Note: Collision libraries (.col files containing multiple collision models) are not supported. See COL for details. Or you can try engineGetCOLsFromLibrary, if you'd like.
