How to stop vehicle spawning with its lights on?

[sambo613]

I put a vehicle in through the editor and when I load up the mod, the vehicles lights are on and I have to manually switch them off. How can I have it spawn without its lights on?

You'd have to have it placed using a script that disables bluelights. Check out other mods like la has lafirestationstart script. OR if you don't need special lights(spotlights, traffic bar), you can make your lights speciallights instead of bluelights.

I've done it before in the editor. I just want to make this change to the Harbor City mod where I'm just adding a vehicle to and not my own mod. Do you know how to do it in the editor?

Do you mean spawning from a script, or spawning from the game menus?

Script. I've already done it, but just need to know how to have it spawn without its lights on, since I then I have to manually turn them off.

Harbor City doesn't have a start script active it's easily doable by making an edited form of the lafirestationstart script, but rather time consuming. Look into that script, focusing on areas around enableBlueLights(false). That is the command that sits the lights off for the given unit.

Add this line to the vehicle sections of the script.

v.EnableBlueLights(false);

Thanks, although I've been having a separate problem. When In game when I press go to fire station button, it crashes? Any ideas what is wrong?
