Pair: getElementLighting

Added in 1.6.0 r22862

This function changes the lighting value for the specified element. This can be a player, ped, vehicle, object or a weapon.

Note

Lighting is calculated in real-time every frame. Therefore, to correctly override the lighting, you should use this function in combination with the onClientPedsProcessed event, not only for peds, but also for other element types.

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

  • Method:element:setLighting(...)
  • Variable: .lighting

Required Arguments
  • theElement: The element whose lighting you want to change.

Code Examples

client

This example sets the lighting value of all players and vehicles to 10

    for _, v in pairs(getElementsByType('player')) do
        setElementLighting(v, 10)
    end

        setElementLighting(v, 10)
    end
end)
