Vehicle Selector – Details Interaction

Coordinates vehicle details display with spawn/replace button actions.

Overview

ui_vehicleSelector_detailsInteraction bridges the vehicle specifications panel with the vehicle operations module. It assembles detail data (specs + action buttons) for the selected vehicle and manages custom button callbacks for challenge/freeroam modes.

Internals

getDetails Flow

1. Calls vehicleSpecifications.getDetails(itemDetails) for specs.
2. If customDetailsButtons has entries, builds buttons from those callbacks (with default paint pre-fill from model/config).
3. Otherwise, calls vehicleOperations.makeSpawningButtons(details.configDetails) for standard spawn/replace buttons.
4. Attaches buttonInfo to the details table.

How It Works

1. When a vehicle tile is selected, the UI calls getDetails({model, config}).
2. The module assembles specifications from vehicleSpecifications and action buttons from vehicleOperations.
3. In freeroam mode, standard spawn/replace buttons are used.
4. In challenge mode, customDetailsButtons are used instead (each with a custom callback receiving model, config, additionalData).

Lua Examples

-- Get details for a specific vehicle
local details = extensions.ui_vehicleSelector_detailsInteraction.getDetails({
  model = "pickup", config = "vehicles/pickup/base.pc"
})

-- Set custom buttons for a challenge selector
extensions.ui_vehicleSelector_detailsInteraction.setCustomDetailsButtons({
  { callback = function(model, config, data) print("Selected:", model) end,
    meta = { label = "Select", icon = "car" } }
})
