Allows you to input a vehicleID and return a vehicle name from that ID

Syntax

string getVehicleNameFromID ( int id )

Required Arguments

  • id: This is a vehicle id. See vehicle to see what values will return names (true).

Returns

Returns true if vehicle exists, false otherwise.

Example

This example does... 

addCommandHandler ( "spawnvehicle", "createvehiclecommand" )
function createvehiclecommand ( player, commandName, carid )
--This function is triggered by the text "spawnvehicle" in the console.
--The player must also specify the added varible carid to specify
--what car they wish to spawn.
local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( player )
--Get the position of the player to spawn the car near this location
createVehicle ( carid, x + 5, y, z )
--Spawn the car at x + 5 from the player so it doesn't crush him
carname = getVehicleNameFromID ( carid )
--Get the name of the car the player asked for and store it to the
--varible 'carname'
	if carname == "" then
	outputChatBox ( "That is not a valid car ID" )
	else
	outputChatBox ( "A "..carname.." was created!" )
	end
	--A string is always returned in this situation, so if the car doesn't
	--exist the string has no values. If the string does have any value, we
	--announce it in the chatbox because it is a vehicle.
end
