This function can be used to set the numberplate text of a car. It now also changes the numberplate text of any vehicle that has visual numberplates.

Syntax

bool setVehiclePlateText( element theVehicle, string numberplate )

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Method: vehicle:setPlateText(...)

Variable: .plateText

Counterpart: getVehiclePlateText

Required Arguments

theVehicle: the vehicle whose numberplate you want to change.
numberplate: a string that will go on the number plate of the car (max 8 characters).

Returns

Returns true if the numberplate was changed successfully, or false if invalid arguments were passed

Requirements

Minimum server version	1.3.3
Minimum client version	1.3.3

Note: Using this feature requires the resource to have the above minimum version declared in the meta.xml <min_mta_version> section. e.g. <min_mta_version server="1.3.3" client="1.3.3" />

Example

function PlateText(thePlayer,commandName,text)
	local Vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(thePlayer)
	if Vehicle then
		if text then
			setVehiclePlateText( Vehicle, text )
		else
			outputChatBox("You must enter a message.",thePlayer)
		end
	else
		outputChatBox("You must be in a Vehicle.",thePlayer)
	end
end
addCommandHandler("setplate",PlateText)
