setPedTattoos

The setPedTattoos export allows you to apply a list of tattoos to a ped and store them internally for later use. This is essential for preserving character identity, especially for freemode peds using custom tattoo layers.

How to Use

To apply tattoos to a ped, use the following code:

local ped = PlayerPedId()
local tattoos = {
    { collection = "mpbusiness_overlays", name = "MP_Buis_Face_01_M" },
    { collection = "mpchristmas2_overlays", name = "MP_Xmas2_M_Tat_005" }
}

exports['qs-appearance']:setPedTattoos(ped, tattoos)

This export takes:

• ped: The ped entity to apply tattoos to

• tattoos: A table of tattoo entries, where each tattoo contains:

  • collection: The overlay dictionary name

  • name: The specific overlay name

Internally, this function saves the tattoos in PED_TATTOOS for reuse (e.g., when switching hair or models) and applies them using the internal setTattoos logic. It is designed to maintain visual consistency across customization changes.
