ImGui Vehicle Selector

Overview

Node Name: im Vehicle Selector
Category: once_instant
File: extensions/flowgraph/nodes/ui/imgui/imVehicleSelect.lua

Displays an ImGui vehicle selection window that lets the user browse models, configs, and paint options. Outputs the selected vehicle details when the user clicks "Select".

Pin Schema

Output Pins

Pin	Type	Hidden	Description
`selected`	flow	no	Fires once when the Select button is pressed
`model`	string	no	Model name of the selected vehicle
`config`	string	no	Config name of the selected vehicle
`configPath`	string	no	Full config path of the selected vehicle
`paintName1`	string	yes	First paint layer
`paintName2`	string	yes	Second paint layer
`paintName3`	string	yes	Third paint layer

Node Data

Field	Default	Description
`enableConfigs`	`true`	Show config selection
`enablePaints`	`false`	Show paint selection
`enableCustomConfig`	`false`	Allow custom config paths

Internals

Field	Purpose
`self.util`	Instance of `editor/util/vehicleSelectUtil` - provides the widget and selection state
`self.open`	Whether the window is currently displayed
`self.done`	Whether selection is complete
`self.refresh`	Flag to refresh output pin values

How It Works

_executionStarted() - Creates a vehicleSelectUtil instance with the node's config flags. Resets state.
workOnce() - Sets open = true and triggers a refresh.
work() - While open, calls displayWindow() each frame.
displayWindow() - Renders a 480×300 ImGui window:
- Calls self.util:widget() to draw the vehicle browser.
- On change, copies model/config/paint values to output pins.
- Select button - closes window, fires selected flow output.
- Reset button - resets all selections via self.util:resetSelections().
onNodeReset() - Closes the window and resets all state.

Lua Code Example

-- The node uses vehicleSelectUtil internally:
local util = require("/lua/ge/extensions/editor/util/vehicleSelectUtil")("My Selector##1")
util.enableConfigs = true
util.enablePaints = false

-- In an ImGui draw loop:
if util:widget() then
  print("Selected model:", util.model)
  print("Selected config:", util.config)
end
