Changing Player model in C#

FiveM Resource Development Discussion

So i want to be able to change player model by command /model [Ped Hash]
I’ve been trying for hours and couldn’t come up with anything.
Also, tried with PlayerPed.Handle too and also didn’t work.

            API.RegisterCommand("model", new Action<int, List<Object>, string>((src, args, raw) =>
            {
                int playerid = Game.Player.Handle;
                var argList = args.Select(o => o.ToString()).ToList();
                Enum.TryParse(argList[0], true, out uint newModel);
                API.SetPlayerModel(playerid, newModel);
            }), false);

You have to always load/request the model before setting it.

However, since you are using C#, a wrapper function already does this for you.

Example

var model = new Model("mp_m_freemode_01");
await Game.Player.ChangeModel(model);

Pardon for my stupidity but I am new to fivem modding. I changed my code to the same thing as Your exampe, added async and still don’t know why this doesn’t work. I expected that after writing /model it would change the character model to the model named “mp_m_freemode_01” but nothing happens.

           API.RegisterCommand("model", new Action<int, List<Object>, string>(async (src, args, raw) =>
            {
                var model = new Model("mp_m_freemode_01");
                await Game.Player.ChangeModel(model);
            }), false);

That’s odd. This code should work fine. Where do you define the command? You could also add a debug line to check if the command code is actually executed.

Something like Debug.WriteLine("/model was executed");
