This template is no longer in use as it results in poor readability.

This function replaces the given model in the given model ID with the DFF file passed. This function supports vehicles and objects at the moment.

As of 1.1.1 This supports Ped and Weapon models. For replace weapon models you can't use weapon ID's, you should use object ID's. All weapon model ID's here: Weapons.

Note: Due to a bug, when replacing models with built in collisions (i.e. vehicles), the collision may not get replaced correctly. The current work around is to load the dff again and do another replace after a short delay.

[[{{{image}}}|link=|]] Note: Replacing models in the original GTA map may not work correctly. See here for some work arounds.

Syntax

bool engineReplaceModel ( dff theModel, int modelID [, bool alphaTransparency = false ] )
