OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Variable: .plateText
Counterpart: getVehiclePlateText


Required Arguments

  • theVehicle: the vehicle whose numberplate you want to change.
  • numberplate: a string that will go on the number plate of the vehicle (max 8 characters).

Returns

Requirements

Note: Using this feature requires the resource to have the above minimum version declared in the meta.xml <min_mta_version> section. e.g. <min_mta_version server="1.3.3" client="1.3.3" />

Example

	local Vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(thePlayer)
	if Vehicle then
		if text then
			setVehiclePlateText( Vehicle, text )
		else
			outputChatBox("You must enter a message or the plate is incorrect.",thePlayer)
		end
	else
