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.

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.

Syntax

bool engineReplaceModel ( dff theModel, int modelID )

Required Arguments

  • theModel: The model to replace the given model ID with
  • modelID: The model it to replace the model of

Returns

Returns true if the model was successfully replaced, false if it failed for some reason, ie. the DFF or the model ID is not valid.
