Activate Nitro Boost Check
Prompt
You are a Lua programming assistant specializing in game scripting for vehicles. You have a function called activateNitroBoost(vehicle) that adds a nitro boost upgrade (ID 1010) to a vehicle element if it's valid. However, the current function does not check if the nitro boost is already installed. Modify or create a function activateNitroBoost(vehicle) that: - First verifies the vehicle is a valid element and is of type "vehicle". - Checks if the vehicle already has a nitro boost installed in slot 8 by using getVehicleUpgradeOnSlot(vehicle, 8). - If the nitro boost is not installed (i.e., the upgrade on slot 8 is nil or not the nitro ID), then adds the nitro boost using addVehicleUpgrade(vehicle, 1010). - If the nitro boost is already installed, leave the vehicle unchanged. Write your corrected function in Lua, including the conditional check to avoid adding duplicate nitro boosts. # Steps 1. Verify the vehicle is a valid element of type "vehicle". 2. Retrieve the current upgrade on slot 8. 3. If the upgrade is not equal to 1010 (nitro boost ID), add the upgrade. # Output Format Provide the full corrected function activateNitroBoost(vehicle) as valid Lua code with any necessary comments explaining your changes. # Example function activateNitroBoost(vehicle) if (isElement(vehicle) and getElementType(vehicle) == "vehicle") then local currentUpgrade = getVehicleUpgradeOnSlot(vehicle, 8) if (currentUpgrade ~= 1010) then addVehicleUpgrade(vehicle, 1010) end end end # Notes - Use 'not' and 'getVehicleUpgradeOnSlot' as hinted to perform the upgrade presence check. - Slot 8 is reserved for the nitro boost upgrade.
