Mac, on behalf of noob modelers everywhere, I can't begin to thank you enough for taking the time to make these videos. It's surprisingly difficult to find *anything* to get you started on modeling, and I know zero about it. Made my first skin a few days ago and really want to try for my own car. I have a few specific but simple questions - would you consider sharing your discord so I could ask there? Any chance you're taking future video requests? Would love to see some more on ELS - that often makes or breaks a video for me. Specifically how to set up primary vs. secondary vs. warning and what makes it look good!! Again, thank you so much and keep up the great work.
hay thank you very much for taking the time to make this video but this and the previous video are only 50% of how to make a els car for gta 5 below is the rest of the stuff that you neglected to do a video on that needs to be covered in more videos and added to a playlist called how to make a ELS vehicle for GTA V 1. How to make a VCF.xml 2. How to add Traffic Advisory to els light bar 3. How to add take downs to els light bar Also as a helpful suggestion because your stuff on your channel is very unorganized you should start making playlist for different categories so its not so messy and looks more professional regardless of you sub count
Hey dude, first off I really appreciate these two videos for helping me wrap my head around things so thank you. My issue is when I imported my vehicle and went to open it in OpenIV, it wouldn't open and it says the file size is 0kb. I believe the issue is with the User Defined Options section because I deleted the base, but when I try to switch user defined options on and apply it, it just automatically unticks itself. Any idea how I can solve that?
Hey McGinlay, I know you made this a year ago... But I am having trouble exporting the police2_hi.yft. When I do it, I get 0KB. It seems it is because the hierarchy is police2 not police2_hi.... Any idea?
@Matthew Fletcher i found out the problem. Change the name of your car from "police2" to "police2_hi" in Zmodeler and then export!! And when you export type the same "police2_hi" and then it should work, Worked for me. You shouldnt get 0kbs
hay bud i loved the gta 5 police car making tutorials but can you show how to add ram bar and other car extra's and how to make the car support like 8 skins thank you and keep up the good work
What if I wanted to add multiple lights i.e sideburns or something. Would they go in extra 1 2 3 4 and would I create them seperate extras if so assumingly, If they is more then 1 unnamed thing in the extras when I create the copy there will be more do I just add it to the LOD per usual?
when i select the lights then deselect them there isnt a extra light that pops up ive followed everything perfectly same car model, same lightbar please help.
Hello mate! I would be really happy if you could help me with this! This is pretty self explanatory. ELS wont light up/will stay constantly on. ELS worked when I had fewer leds but now as the number of leds incresed, nothing will light up. Also when I put extra_** higher on the hierarchy, body parts will start to act like ELS lights. Any fixes?
@@Chris-dm4uv yes, you need to attach the extras you want to light up at the same time and if you have multiple extras with the same name (ex. Extra_1) the highest in the hierarchy will light up and the others will stay on. Also if you have problem that you body parts flash, attach all objects with the same name to each other. Hope you understood.
@@wtfman5852 Yeah I did. It's the first time i modeled in over a year. I had a duplicate extra_1 from the vehicle i was using, so i renamed it and it worked.
I followed your steps to the letter, but when I spawn my car, it spawns completely destroyed and unusable. The ELS function still works, but the rest of the car is busted. The body panels are nonexistent, the driver doesn't sit in the seat, and the extras aren't visible. Solution?
I get a similar issue. When I spawn the car, it's floating, missing body panels, making crashing noises, and some parts are floating. ELS still works, though. I'd like to see a solution or help if possible, too.
@@lukedev5575 It's probably too late for this but here I go. The same exact thing was happening to me but i fixed it by not doing the last thing he does on the model, when he tells us to use "user-defined options" and remove "base", don't do that, leave "base" alone and your car will work. I don't know why he tells us to remove "base", I haven't seen anyone else do that in any other tutorial video and ignoring that step made my car work and my game didn't crash at all like he said it would happen in the video.
hi i like your videos i am a beginner at making cars and im having lot of difficulty to follow along any tips or suggestion i can import a car and a lightbar and put the lightbar on the car but no sure what to do on the other things needed
hi i got the car working in the game and followed all the instructions given in the videos my lights on the lightbar come on at the back of the bar but not the front any ideas what might cause this and how to fix ? ive exported few times i have also moved up the light emissive file up next to default materials but still not working
i followed everything but after i install the car in the game when i go to any of the third person FOVs the camera goes way far as if im driving a giant vehicle and not a car
Hey so, I have a problem and I don't know why it is happening. So when I spawn my car ingame and use ELS to turn on the lights, none of the lights on the bar light up. I know the lights are on because I can see the enviromentals. Please help.
Neither misc_a or siren_glass1 allow me to drag anything into the default area after they are converted to a compound? Is this because each component is a compound, and if so, how do I fix this?
Myer Flyer on the top left of a window it should say the view, you can only move in 3D and user you can do that by choosing that in the window and then click and hold and move on the direction you want to go
bro why do some of the lights light up and some don't, the lights are functional but only half are emissive the other half are just dull textures that don't light up
well im pretty sure that wont work since i spent almost 3 hours editing and exporting over and over again trying to fix it but still wouldn't fix but thanks for responding
Make sure your base values are deleted also make sure that you do not have any duplicates in your hierachy, It can also be that your metas are incorrect.
Making the model is the same for fivem as it is for singleplayer, installing it is a little bit different, Watch other videos on how to setup a fivem server.

Do you have a tutorial on how to add additional lights for ELS vehicles?
I would assume its the same thing, however you have to be limited to 12 extras all around the car.

hi i like your videos i am a beginner at making cars and im having lot of difficulty to follow along any tips or suggestion i can import a car and a lightbar and put the lightbar on the car but no sure what to do on the other things needed
i recommend starting easy with a CVPI and an arjent sl all can be found on lspdfr
hi i got the car working in the game and followed all the instructions given in the videos my lights on the lightbar come on at the back of the bar but not the front any ideas what might cause this and how to fix ? ive exported few times i have also moved up the light emissive file up next to default materials but still not working
Spike Hawk it's probably where you detached the lights you maybe moved them back, try re doing the lightbar
hi okies thanks for the quick reply ill try that and see how i get on thanks for the help
Are you able to help me out having trouble with this I follow the steps I get the light bar on but the lights dont work (trying to do it on FiveM)

you need to move the light emissive up in the material browser
follow from 18:13
McGinlay Customs thanks I'll try that
Are there any light bars that come pre-ELS?
i think so but idont know how to make them work
Do the takedowns go in its own extra_?
@McGinlay i dont have the zmodler file i have the program but not the light bar
Does there have to be 4 extras? or can I put more?
You can have 12 extras
McGinlay yea, I’ve figured that out by now. Ty tho
How do you make one light steady burn?
I’ve answered your question, you don’t need to post the same question in multiple videos
how would i change the texture from red to blue for all blue lights
Neither misc_a or siren_glass1 allow me to drag anything into the default area after they are converted to a compound? Is this because each component is a compound, and if so, how do I fix this?
Make sure misc_a is a dummy, and the inside of it are the objects that you are trying to put into Lods
i followed the tutorial step by step and i get an error when i try to spawn it in game, plz help. [im using it for LSPDFR]
If you are looking for extra support head to my discord discord.gg/ZAj62HMBGZ

does anyone know why my car says "ELS - key lock active" ingame?
to anyone watching this in the future, i just restarted my pc and it worked.
It's because you have ELS lock active. It's scroll lock by default.
@@YTSBryce i realized a few hours later
bro why do some of the lights light up and some don't, the lights are functional but only half are emissive the other half are just dull textures that don't light up
try re exporting
well im pretty sure that wont work since i spent almost 3 hours editing and exporting over and over again trying to fix it but still wouldn't fix but thanks for responding
Sorry dont know then, did you change the texture file never had this issue, maybe you have moved the lights back a little into the mesh
i can make the car but when i spawn it it says scripthookv error and crashes my game anyone have this issue
When i Export the _hi File it has a Size of 0 KB and i cant open it in OPEN IV? How can i fix that
im having the same issue, no fix?
@@dev8042 im not sure how i fix it but you can export it as "normal" and only do the High LOD, rename it to_hi and you got it :)
@@reazzorgraphics7489 my issue was my account didnt validate my purchase so i was limited to what i could do thanks tho
Will you do a tutorial on takedowns?
Sure
hey i did everything like in the video but my game keeps crashing pls help
Make sure your base values are deleted also make sure that you do not have any duplicates in your hierachy, It can also be that your metas are incorrect.
How can I convert this into FiveM?
Making the model is the same for fivem as it is for singleplayer, installing it is a little bit different, Watch other videos on how to setup a fivem server.
can you copy a link of the car
what buttom i must push? 9:28
What about the texture file?
The base model should supply a YTD, If not, you need to make one in OpenIV
When i get into game nothing happens with my lights
Make sure you have followed the tutorial, Please make sure your vehicle_lightsemissive materials are at the top of the material browser!
What about rotators¿?
rotators are non els
