Hey there, GTAForums.
I've been trying to look for a way to edit vehicle's license plates by going into Debug Mode (SP) and checking out self-vehicle to check out the String for text like 'JE9 892D' or whatever -but I can't seem to find it, and I was wishing that you people may help me find a new way or method into finding out how to edit license plates.
Thanks very much for reading and I hope you may be of help.
P.S. I've been searching the forums for roughly a good half an hour and I can't find any topics relating to this subject.

You can only change the license plate of a car before the car is created. After it is created the license plate can't be changed using coding.

I actually found a way earlier this year (or possibly sometime last year), but I can't even remember how I came to discover the method

CODE

09E2: $PARKED_IMPEXPM_CARS[0] = parked_car_generator_w_numberplate #EUROS -1 -1 0 alarm 50 door_lock 0 0 10000 plate "IMPEXP__" at 0.0 0.0 0.0 angle 180.0

It is possible to alter the plates that will be associated with car generators added to the save using the opcode above. I can dig up the relevant addresses for you if you are interested. However, I suspect you are trying to alter the plates on vehicles that already exist, so I'll hold off unless the information is needed.

Nearly 2 years ago, I found out an ugly way to do such thing:

CODE

{$CLEO} 0000: NOP while true  wait 0  if  00DF:  actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving  then    if    00E1:  player 0 pressed_key 4 // Secondary fire    then      03C0: 0@ = actor $PLAYER_ACTOR car      0441: 1@ = car 0@ model      0674: set_car_model 1@ numberplate "_PLATE_"      0AB1: call_scm_func @refreshVehModel 1 vehicle 0@    end  end end :refreshVehModel {  Parameters:    Passed:      0@ - vehicle (handle)    Result:      none  Example:    0AB1: call_scm_func @refreshVehModel 1 vehicle 0@ } 0441: 1@ = car 0@ model 0A97: 0@ = car 0@ struct 0AA6: call_method 0x6D6410 struct 0@ num_params 0 pop 0 // CVehicle__DeleteRwObject 0AA6: call_method 0x6A6590 struct 0@ num_params 1 pop 0 sIndex 1@ // CAutomobile__SetModelIndex 0AB2: ret 0

Unfortunately, it clears any visible damage cause vehicle's parts get removed and recreated. Vehicle's variations may be affected too. I'm too lazy to fix the script right now.

Thanks for all the help guys.
