Hey guys,
I've looked through the vehicle class methods and properties as well as the native functions and I can't seem to find anything that allows me to spawn an empty vehicle with headlights turned on. Any ideas?

Thank you!

I think SET_VEHICLE_LIGHTS would work best.

 

here are other options depending on what you want:

 

Used http://www.dev-c.com/nativedb/ and did CTRL+F to search for light.

I did the exact same thing before posting, but thanks anyway. The only problem is SET_VEHICLE_LIGHTS explicitly says "not an on off toggle" which is what I'm looking for.
I guess I'll try out SET_ENTITY_LIGHTS and see what it does.

I just thought maybe there would be an easier way that I just missed.

I mean, RPH has functionality for the roof state of convertibles but not for headlights? Talk about priorities! xD
What this appers to mean, is that it's not as easy as it seems.

I will try out those functions and post about the results here, in case anybody has the same question.

Okay, so here's what I've found out:
When SET_VEHICLE_LIGHTS has the following effects:

0 leaves the light out and they can be toggled by the player normally, seems to be default setting for vehicles
1 lights are out and can't be toggled
2 lights are always on and can't be toggled off
3 lights are on and engine is running, can be toggled off by player normally (exactly what I was looking for! xD)

Maybe this helps somebody else as well!

P.S.: SET_ENTITY_LIGHTS didn't seem to have any effect on the vehicle, wether the engine was running or not, so idk what it does...
 

I didn't try the other functions as I am not interested in interior lights or checking the light state.
