Example

---  
--- Valentine auctions
ExtraSpawns = {  
[1] = {model="A_C_Cow"}
}
 -- Example 1: Unsafe --
model_hash = GetHashKey(ExtraSpawns.model) 
RequestModel(model_hash )

 -- Example 2: Safe --
model_hash = GetHashKey(ExtraSpawns.model) 
LoadModel(model_hash)
function LoadModel(model) 
    RequestModel(model)
    local emergency_break = 0
    while HasModelLoaded(model) == false or 0 do 
        Citizen.Wait(100)
        emergency_break = emergency_break +1
        if emergency_break > 20 then 
            break   -- no runaway loops here.
        end 
    end
end

Common Errors or Problems

Problem: My model doesn’t load and my ped is invisible. If the model doesn’t load the ped will be invisible. CreatePed will still create it, so in invisible creature will be running around. Solution preload the model using Example 2. Which tests and waits for the model to load before moving on to create the ped.

Problem: I run the code to wait for the model, and it checks to see if the model has loaded, and it just hangs in the loop. See Example 2 for how to include breakout test so your script doesn’t get stuck in a look waiting for the model to load.

Problem: My model loaded, my ped was created, but the ped is still invisible. See information about setting the ped to visible, and setting the peds outfit.
