Client

This snippet removes all VLO atomics of a custom vehicle model if LOD rendering is disabled. This is done to increase engine performance as the LOD atomics are considered useless.

local myVehicleCollision = engineLoadCOL( "vehicle.col" );
local myVehicleModel = engineLoadDFF( "vehicle.dff", 0 );

if not ( isVehicleLODRenderingEnabled() ) then
    -- Scan the vehicle model for all frames containing "_vlo" and remove them
    local rootFrame = myVehicleModel.getFrame();

    local function removeVLOFrames( frame )
        local childFrames = frame.getLinkedFrames();

        for m,n in ipairs( childFrames ) do
            if ( string.find( n.getName(), "_vlo", 1, true ) ) then
                n.destroy();
            else
                removeVLOFrames( n );
            end
        end
    end

    removeVLOFrames( rootFrame );
end
