Advanced Vehicle Changing  Pickup

Alot of helpful in race events mixed with bikes,  cars and boats and people have to exit the car which takes alot of time and sometimes people don't even take the cars or boats,  since disabling Seaways isn't possible so this might come helpful.  These display the name of a vehicle above them. As soon as you drive over a pickup your vehicle will be changed.


Ghostmode
I requested angel about this but he forgot about it xd. So gonna post here. In races you already know there are alot of ramming and crashes and some of maps are small which requires ghostmode , in a prop we can disable or enable Ghostmode whenever we want by typing the command. So What does it do? It prevents your vehicle from colliding with another vehicle.

Script - setElementData( thePlayer, "overrideCollide.uniqueblah", 0, false ) -- Collide 'off' for this player
    setElementData( thePlayer, "overrideCollide.uniqueblah", nil, false ) -- Collide 'default' for this player
    setElementData( thePlayer, "overrideAlpha.uniqueblah", 120, false ) -- Alpha '120 maximum' for this player
    setElementData( thePlayer, "overrideAlpha.uniqueblah", nil, false ) -- Alpha 'default' for this player
Here's the video with proper explaining. It's done in MTA



Hope y'all like my suggestions. I don't know if they are possible or not. So good bye and take care.

1. Eject the player out of the vehicle.
   
2. Destroy the previous vehicle and add the new one.
   
3. Finally, use the CPlayer::PutToVehicleSlot() class member to put him inside the vehicle.

Thank you for demonstrating your creativity and helping us out. About the first suggestion, I'd love to change vehicles immediately to change the race's style, however, it isn't possible to just change the model of the vehicle. You would have to...

1. Eject the player out of the vehicle.
   
2. Destroy the previous vehicle and add the new one.
   
3. Finally, use the CPlayer::PutToVehicleSlot() class member to put him inside the vehicle.
   

As a result, it'd take time to change between vehicles and not instantly, possibly what you were expecting to. Regarding the second suggestion, I understand how you feel of the pain where there is 20 cars in the race and have to get through them, without harm. Fortunately, there's a CVehicle::IsGhost class  property where you can avoid collision and pass through vehicles freely. Therefore, it is a must. +1 on this one.

About the first, yea, its easily possible. Asimilar thing I did that on pressing key "V", the car's model will change is a second. I remember scripting one for altair and it was successful. All over, these both are possible and if ang agrees, I'll send the scripts to him.

+1 for all

Wait a minute, is the CVehicle::Model property a read-write?

Chuck Norris wrote:Ghostmode is something I had forgotten about I'll add it to my list, but it will most likely only be in properties because driveby + ghostmode isn't very good.

About the other suggestion: It is possible to do this by deleting and creating a new vehicle (since Vehicle.Model is a readonly) unfortunately that means that the player gets ejected from the vehicle. I could make it so that the player gets teleported back onto the vehicle, but VC-MP sometimes glitches out when you do that. In my racing script I originally did that (created a bunch of car and then put players in them) unfortunately due to lag sometimes players didn't get put into the cars.
A similar problem might occur here.

Can you enable ghost mode for all the vehicles?
