# SetVehicleNumberPlate

## Description

Set a vehicle numberplate.

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| vehicleid | The ID of the vehicle to set the number plate of. |
| const numberPlate\[\] | The text that should be displayed on the number plate. |

## Returns

**true** - The function executed successfully.

**false** - The function failed to execute. The vehicle does not exist

## Examples

```c
new
	vehicleid = CreateVehicle(542, 2074.73, 1089.89, 10.51, 0.0, -1, -1, -1);
SetVehicleNumberPlate(vehicleid, "ABCD 123");
```

## Notes

note

-   This function has no internal error checking.
-   The vehicle must be re-spawned or re-streamed for the changes to take effect.
-   There's a limit of 32 characters on each number plate (including embedded colors).
-   The text length that can be seen on the number plate is around 9 to 10 characters, more characters will cause the text to split.
-   Some vehicle models has a backward number plate, e.g. Boxville (498) (as an alternative to this vehicle you can use vehicle model ID 609, which is a duplicated Boxville (aka Boxburg), but with a regular number plate).

tip

-   Do not assign custom number plates to vehicles without plates (boats, planes, etc) as this will result in some unneeded processing time on the client.
-   You can use color embedding on the number plate text.
