Custom Variants
With the introduction of vehicle variants we now have the ability to add custom variants using custom models. Variants can be anything from different adverts to additional parts of the model..
How to Add Variants
Adding variants requires modifying your DFF by adding a part of the model you wish to be a variant and naming it extra1, extra2, extra3, extra4 or extra5 then setting it's parent to the chassis_dummy this tells GTA it has variant information and after this your variant will work in MTA.
Spawning Custom Variants
Spawning custom variants is more complicated as we do not know the variants are there so the random variant spawner (TM) will not spawn the added variant.
A way around this is to implicitly specify which variant you require in createVehicle this will bypass our random variant spawner (TM) and allow you to spawn it.
Any invalid variant will show up as the default model with no variation.
