Tool

The process for adding new presets for Peds and MP Peds is similar, and only deviates at the end.
Follow the process below to create new Torch Presets.

Enable the tool​

To enable the tool, type the following command: /torch tool.

Select the Mount Type​

In the top left of your screen, the tool will prompt you to select from either a Chest or Head torch.

Mount Type

Select Corona Position​

Use the controls listed in the top left of your screen to move the gizmo to the position you want the corona to appear from.

Movement ControlsCorona Position

For example, this corona has been positioned in front of the head torch.

Confirm Corona Position​

Use the controls listed in the top left of your screen to confirm you are happy with the position of the corona.
If not, you can go back and move it again.

Confirm or ChangeCorona Confirmed
tip

View the preview corona from multiple angles to ensure it is positioned correctly.
If not, you can go back and move it again.

Select Light Source Position​

Use the controls listed in the top left of your screen to move the gizmo to the position you want the light source to appear from.
Generally, this will be the same as your Corona Position; however, sometimes due to clipping you may need to move the source further away from the ped.

For example, this light source has been positioned in front of the head torch.

Select Cloth Type​

note

This step is only for MP Peds; for Peds, skip to this step.

Use the controls listed in the top left of your screen to select which cloth type to attach this preset to.

For example, if you're setting up a head torch for a specific helmet, you would select Prop.
Another example, if you're setting up a chest torch for a specific jacket, you would select Component.

Prop or Component

Select Cloth Item​

Use the controls listed in the top left of your screen to select which cloth item to attach this preset to.

Using the previous example, for a helmet torch, you would select Hats / Helmets.
For the jacket torch, you would select Shirt Overlay / Jacket

Change SelectionHatsJackets

Copy Preset JSON​

After final confirmation, you will see this notification:

Done

Press F8 to access your client console, there you will see JSON.
For example, it may look like this:

Console 1

Select all the JSON like you would select any other text.

Console 1

After selecting it, copy it either by pressing Ctrl + C, or right-clicking in the console and selecting Copy.

You will now have something like this in your clipboard:

{
  "collectionName": "mp_m_smuggler_01",
  "localIndex": 6,
  "isProp": true,
  "variationId": 0,
  "mountType": "Head",
  "source": {
    "X": 0.15,
    "Y": 0.065,
    "Z": 0.13
  },
  "corona": {
    "X": 0.15,
    "Y": 0.065,
    "Z": 0.13
  }
}
tip

Ped and MP Ped presets look slightly different, but the process is the same.

Adding Preset to Config​

Open your config.json and locate the appropriate section.
For Peds, this is the peds section.
For MP Peds, this is the mpped section, and within that, either male or female.

Paste your new preset into the correct section, ensuring proper JSON syntax is used, or the config will break.

warning

JSON syntax is important: missing ,s, []s, etc. will break the file. Check your JSON syntax with this website.
