Notes:

  • (1) Although the vehicle model limit in 0.3 is unlimited, if you use a large amount of vehicle models, you may notice parts of your mode become framey as vehicle models are dynamically loaded/unloaded. Keeping the number of vehicle models below 150 is a good idea.
  • (2) Although the textdraw string limit is 1024 characters, if colour codes (e.g. ~r~) are used beyond the 255th character it may crash the client.
  • (3) It is possible to show all Textdraws at the same time for one player, however this is not recommended.
  • (4) To circumvent these limits, it is possible to use a streamer. Streamers work by only creating the objects/vehicles etc. that are close to players. See here (vehicles not supported, but there are streamers out there for those).
  • (5) Due to client limitations only up to 51 actors may actually be shown at a time.
  • Vehicle IDs start at ID 1 and thus range from 1 to 1999, even if MAX_VEHICLES is 2000. Objects and player objects also start at ID 1.
