Dialog-information.png This article needs checking.
Reason(s):
  • Numberplates only seem to work for some vehicles, and then only for the front or rear plate only
  • Explain the direction parameter which should always be false and what is the point of having a parameter whose value need to be the same all the time. --MTA SE 20:05, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
  • The numberplates have to contain at least 1 letter. For example "132" will not work and the function will fail but, "13A" or "132A" will work

This template is no longer in use as it results in poor readability. This function creates a vehicle at the specified location.

Its worth noting that the position of the vehicle is the center point of the vehicle, not its base. As such, you need to ensure that the z value (vertical axis) is some height above the ground. You can find the exact height using the client side function getElementDistanceFromCentreOfMassToBaseOfModel, or you can estimate it yourself and just spawn the vehicle so it drops to the ground.


Syntax

vehicle createVehicle ( int model, float x, float y, float z [, float rx, float ry, float rz, string numberplate, bool bDirection, int variant1, int variant2 ] )

Required Arguments

  • model: The vehicle ID of the vehicle being created.
  • x: A floating point number representing the X coordinate on the map.
  • y: A floating point number representing the Y coordinate on the map.
  • z: A floating point number representing the Z coordinate on the map.

Optional Arguments

NOTE: When using optional arguments, you might need to supply all arguments before the one you wish to use. For more information on optional arguments, see optional arguments.

  • rx: A floating point number representing the rotation about the X axis in degrees.
  • ry: A floating point number representing the rotation about the Y axis in degrees.
  • rz: A floating point number representing the rotation about the Z axis in degrees.
  • numberplate: A string that will go on the number plate of the car (max 8 characters). This is only applicable to cars.
  • direction: A boolean which should be set to false. *SERVER ONLY*

Returns

Returns the vehicle element that was created. Returns false if the arguments are incorrect, or if the vehicle limit of 65535 is exceeded.

Using trains

Trains are created using the createVehicle function. They are placed at the nearest point of the GTASA train pathing (railroad tracks) from their spawning point.

Example

Example 1: Server

This script spawns a Rhino on top of one lucky individual. 

function scriptCreateTank ( player, command )
      local luckyBugger = getRandomPlayer() -- get a random player
      local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( luckyBugger ) -- retrive the player's position
      createVehicle ( 432, x, y, z + 10 ) -- create the tank 10 units above them
      outputChatBox ( "You got Tank'd!", luckyBugger )
end
--Attach the 'scriptCreateTank' function to the "tank" command
addCommandHandler ( "tank", scriptCreateTank )
Click to collapse [-]
Example 2: Client

This script spawns a Rhino on top of the local player. 

function scriptCreateTank ( commandName )
      local luckyBugger = getLocalPlayer() -- get the local player
      local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( luckyBugger ) -- retrive the player's position
      createVehicle ( 432, x, y, z + 10 ) -- create the tank 10 units above them
      outputChatBox ( "You got Tank'd!", 255, 0, 0)
end
--Attach the 'scriptCreateTank' function to the "tank" command
addCommandHandler ( "tank", scriptCreateTank )
