bool setVehicleModel ( vehicle theVehicle, int model )

Required Arguments

• theVehicle: the vehicle you want to change the model of.
• model: the new model you want to set.

addCommandHandler("changeveh",
    function(thePlayer, command, newModel)
        local theVehicle = getPlayerOccupiedVehicle(thePlayer)  -- get the vehicle the player is in
        newModel = tonumber(newModel)                           -- try to convert the string argument to a number
        if theVehicle and newModel then                         -- make sure the player is in a vehicle and specified a number
            setVehicleModel(theVehicle, newModel)
        end
    end
)

After the above code is executed, a player can get in any vehicle and execute e.g. the command "/changeveh 520" to change it into a hydra.
