Client

This example loads all models from a certain directory

addEventHandler('onClientResourceStart', resourceRoot, function()
    -- get all files from a models directory that exists in the resource root folder (resources/ResourceName)
    local files = pathListDir('/models')
    for _,file in ipairs(files) do
        local filePath = 'models/'..file
        local modelName = tonumber(file:sub(1, -5)) or 0

        if file:endsWith('.col') then
            local colData = engineLoadCOL('models/'..file)

            if colData then
                engineReplaceCOL(colData, modelName)
            end
        end
        if file:endsWith('.txd') then
            local txdData = engineLoadTXD('models/'..file)

            if txdData then
                engineImportTXD(txdData, modelName)
            end
        end
        if file:endsWith('.dff') then
            local dffData = engineLoadDFF('models/'..file)

            if dffData then
                engineReplaceModel(dffData, modelName)
            end
