engineReloadVehicleAudioConfig

Client-side
NEON APIResource-owned vehicle audio

Available in Neon, not standard MTA

Reparses the current owner's definitions and schedules a clean lazy restart of the vehicle-audio banks.

Syntax

bool engineReloadVehicleAudioConfig()

Returns

true when the calling resource owns a loaded configuration and it reparsed successfully; false otherwise.

Ownership and lifecycle

One client resource owns the global vehicle-audio lease. Reloading replaces its definitions and restarts the lazy bank state; unloading, resource shutdown, or client teardown stops active audio, restores GTA's vehicle sound, and releases the lease.

Important behavior
  • Reload stops active events, clears and reindexes banks, then lets the next client pulses initialize them again.
