    Hi guys,

    Just a random question. Something I like about AI is when vehicles will randomly change colour when respawning, as it helps improve the allusion of more cars on the road.

    I have noticed that some cars do this, while others don't (they stay the same colour every time). I've also noticed this is not strictly limited to vanilla mods, as vehicles like the 200BX do not do this, whereas a bunch of mod vehicles do.

    So my question is this: is there a way to make this happen on a vehicle that it doesn't already happen on, like most modded vehicles?

    No worries if not, just thought it would be a cool trick to learn if possible.

    Thanks

    It actually depends on what kind of vehicle it is. Only factory cars change colors. Custom ones usually look bad in colors different than their default. Obviously also police, service, etc. don't change colors either.

    Ah ok, so whether it's a vanilla mod or one I've downloaded shouldn't make a difference? Is there anything I can do to make it work on others? I'd love to get it working on the 200bx, and also the old Caldera mod would be awesome.

    So is there any way to make factory cars not change colors? While I like the concept of cars changing colors when they respawn, some colors are just unrealistic and I'd prefer them not to be changed (e.g. pink, green, brown, etc). Or is there any way to make AI vehicles only change to certain colors?

    This is also a good point I was going to mention

    I don't think there is an easy way to do it unfortunately

    Even for simply disabling color changing?

    You would either have to redo the configs to make them seen as custom and not change color, or edit the colors to remove the ones you don't want, or edit the traffic LUA so they don't change color... All of it is quite some work
