This function will set the color of a vehicle using either a RGB format, or the standard San Andreas color IDs. Vehicles can have up to 4 colors, most of the vehicles have 2 colors only.

If p1, p2, p3 and p4 are used, MTA will take it as the palette color format, more or less arguments than that will use the RGB format.

Syntax

bool setVehicleColor ( vehicle theVehicle, int r1/p1, int g1/p2, int b1/p3, [int r2]/int p4, [int g2, int b2, int r3, int g3, int b3, int r4, int g4, int b4] )


OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Examples

Example 1 - RGB format

This example implements a serverside random_color console command. 

addCommandHandler( 'random_color',
	function( uPlayer )
		if isPedInVehicle( uPlayer ) then
			local uVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle( uPlayer )
			if uVehicle then
				local r, g, b = math.random( 255 ), math.random( 255 ), math.random( 255 )
				setVehicleColor( uVehicle, r, g, b )
			end
		end
	end
)

Example 2 - palette format

This example implements a serverside command for the player to spawn a red and white Banshee, using the palette colors. 

addCommandHandler("banshee", function(player)
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition(player)
    local rx, ry, rz = getElementRotation(player)
    local vehicle = createVehicle(429, x, y, z, 0.0, 0.0, rz, "PALETTE")
    setVehicleColor(vehicle, 3, 1, 0, 0)-- A red and white Banshee!
    addVehicleUpgrade(vehicle, 1010)
    warpPedIntoVehicle(player, vehicle, 0)
    outputChatBox("You have spawned a red and white Banshee! I also added NOS for you!", source, 50, 168, 82)
end)
