Change VehicleType State

Command 0xc5: Change Vehicle Type State#

ubyte string ubyte <value_type>
Variable Vehicle Type ID Type of the value New Value

Changes a vehicle type. Because it is possible to change different values of a vehicle type, the number of parameter to supply and their types differ between commands. The following values can be changed, the parameter which must be given are also shown in the table. If a vehicle type is changed all vehicles sharing this type get the new value. If a value mentioned below is changed via the vehicle (see TraCI/Change_Vehicle_State), the vehicle gets a new type and won't be affected by further changes to the original type.
