    Hi, i am the creator of Siren & Horn Mod and i would like to know if someone know how to get the player car configuration.
    I have this code:

    local vehicleNames = scenetree.findClassObjects('BeamNGVehicle')
    for _, name in ipairs(vehicleNames) do
    local veh = scenetree.findObject(name)
    print(veh.partConfig)
    end

    but it return me all vehicle on the map and i want only the vehicle the player is driving.


    I also have this:

    local vehicleName = v.vehicles.vehicleDirectory:gsub("vehicles/", ""):gsub("/", "")
    print(vehicleName)

    but it doesn't return me the config...

    If someone could help me please ? :)

    Use be:getPlayerVehicle(playerNumber)
    Where playerNumber is typically 0 (but can be 1, 2, etc if using multiseat).

    Yep, that's your vehicle.

    be:getPlayerVehicle(0):getField('partConfig', '')
    be:getPlayerVehicle(0):getField('JBeam', '')

    What are you trying to accomplish?
    The quotes don't seem to be correctly matched.
    In addition, you are calling somethingsomething:getField('foo = bar') which makes no sense.

    Then for starters you need to queue it into vehicle lua, but you are literally queuing it into game engine lua ("queueGameEngineLua").
    You must use obj:queueLuaCommand instead.

    But still, I have no idea what you are trying to accomplish. Can you please explain in english (not in code) what you want to do?

    I want to do this "be:getPlayerVehicle(0):getField('partConfig', '')" in lua vehicle
    --- Post updated ---
    obj:queueLuaCommand("drivingSounds.vehicleConfig = be:getPlayerVehicle(0):getField('partConfig', '')") --> return me "attempt to index global 'be' (a nil value)

    be:getPlayerVehicle(0):getField('partConfig', '') --> same

    obj:queueGameEngineLua("drivingSounds.vehicleConfig = be:getPlayerVehicle(0):getField('partConfig', '')") --> return me "attempt to index global 'drivingSounds' (a nil value)

    If you are in vlua already, then you can use:
    partmgmt.getConfig()

    If you want it in text form, you can pass it through serialize()
    serialize(partmgmt.getConfig())

    Please describe what you are trying to accomplish. Describe your end goal, rather than the next detail that you believe is necessary to achieve the greater goal. Otherwise we'll be running in circles chasing the wrong problems.

    That is exactly what you are getting, both pieces of code return the exact same string as the other. One does it from gameengine lua, the other from vehicle lua.

    Hi,
    This is how to get the config as well as other pieces of data.

    Code:
      local vid = be:getPlayerVehicleID(0)
  local vehicle = scenetree.findObjectById(vid)
  if vehicle then
     local model = vehicle.JBeam
     local licenseText = vehicle.obj:getDynDataFieldbyName("licenseText", 0)
     local color = string.format("%0.2f %0.2f %0.2f %0.2f", vehicle.color.x, vehicle.color.y, vehicle.color.z, vehicle.color.w)
     local _, config, _ = path.split2(vehicle.partConfig)
  end
    config, in the 2nd to last line of code, is the vehicle config.

    Good Luck.
