GetVehicleNumberPlateText RPC not working.

[Demigod916]

What happened?

when calling the Native GetVehicleNumberPlateText on the server, it returns nothing. using the same native on the client returns the correct plate string value.

Expected result

the native should return the plate on both the client and server

Reproduction steps

1. call GetVehicleNumberPlateText(entity) on a vehicle from the server
2. print the result

Importancy

Slight inconvenience

Area(s)

This isn't an RPC native, this was broken with this 02ea63f commit

There's already a PR open to fix this

See: #2834

Though it has a bunch of white space changes which is currently blocking the PR

[Demigod916]

honestly i just assumed it as an RPC not sure why. Thanks for the info!

[AvarianKnight]

Most (if not all) getters are read directly, setters like SET_PED_HEAD_BLEND_DATA are RPC natives.

[Demigod916]

Right right. probably where my confusion was

I create a simple script to temporary fix this.

Install the getplate resource (Link in the end), and add a new line to your fxmanifest.lua for any resource that you want to use the GetVehicleNumberPlateText native.

For example:

server_scripts {
    '@getplate/server.lua', -- Add this line
    'server/main.lua'
}


Then you don't need to do any change of your resources, everything will work as before.

Just wait for FiveM to fix this issue, and then you can remove this line from your fxmanifest.lua.
