Cancellation of event has no effect. detachTrailerFromVehicle in the event doesn't work either, 50 ms timer is effective.

Canceling doesn't appear to work.

  • theTruck: the truck vehicle that got attached to this trailer.

Code Examples

server

This example removes a trailer from the truck it is attached to. Good if you do not want people attaching trailers to vehicles

function detachTrailer(theTruck)
    --detachTrailerFromVehicle(theTruck, source) --detach the newly attached trailer
    -- Immediate detatchment of the trailer through cancel event or this method doesn't seem to work so requires a timer:
    setTimer(detachTrailer2, 50, 1, theTruck, source)
end
addEventHandler("onTrailerAttach", getRootElement(), detachTrailer)


function detachTrailer2(theTruck, trailer)
    if (isElement(theTruck) and isElement(trailer)) then
        detachTrailerFromVehicle(theTruck, trailer)
    end
end
