Default vehicle components

[jplaz5465 5]

Hi all- I've added a great CVPI model to my police vehicle inventory, but most times it spawns, it does as a slicktop rather than with the lightbar. After 4-5 spawns, the vehicle spawns with the lightbar. I can add the lightbar in the "vehicle component" section of the trainer, but I was wondering if there was a way to remove the slicktop from spawning, so the vehicle only spawns with the lightbar. I understanding adding vehicles and skins in OpenIV, but as far as modifying models or anything I've never done anything with it. Can this great community offer any advice? Thanks!

I don't know if it is a carvariations or a vehicles meta file, but one of the two should contain the data for the edit you would like.

You need to modify your vehicles.meta file for that specific model (police I'm assuming).  Open vehicles.meta and find police model.  Then scroll down until you see requiredExtras line.  Find out what extra number the lightbar is then insert the line below (below EXTRA_1 is used as an example only, could be any number depending on what spot the lightbar is).

<requiredExtras>EXTRA_1</requiredExtras>

Please post in the correct location in the future.

There should only be one.  Here's the location:  update.rpf/common/data/levels/gta5/vehicles.meta

looking in that location i only see this line <requiredExtras />

 

if i want to remove all the components can i just delete the line <requiredExtras />

and add this instead ?  <requiredExtras>EXTRA_1</requiredExtras>

 

so my LED bar spawns only ?
