Issue with PED Not Spawning!

FiveM Resource Development & Modding Discussion

Hello all, I’ve been trying to spawn ped in my one sync server and for some reason it is not spawning at all, even on my local host which is not one sync. Any help would be great on why this is not working.

Client.LUA

local sceneguards = {}

local pedCop = "s_m_y_hwaycop_01"

local crimeReference = ""

Citizen.CreateThread(function()

    TriggerEvent('chat:addSuggestion', '/sceneguard', 'Places a Scene Guard'){
        {name = "Crime ID: ", help = "Provide a FMS Crime ID If Possible"}
    }
end)


 -- Make MP Compatable -// Server Event > Client Event > Function 
RegisterCommand('sceneguard', function(source, args, rawCommand)

    local ped = GetPlayerPed(-1)

    local PC = GetEntityCoords(ped)
    local PH = GetEntityHeading(ped)

    TriggerServerEvent("SG_SV:Create", PC, PH)

end)


RegisterNetEvent("SG_CL:Create")
AddEventHandler("SG_CL:Create", function(coords, heading)

    local playerCoords = coords
    local playerHeading = heading
    
    while not HasModelLoaded(GetHashKey("pedCop")) do
        RequestModel(GetHashKey("pedCop"))
        Wait(50)
    end

    local guard = CreatePed(4, GetHashKey(pedCop), playerCoords.x, playerCoords.y, playerCoords.z, playerHeading, true, true)

    while not DoesEntityExist(guard) do
      print('Waiting')
      Wait(50)
    end  


    TaskSetBlockingOfNonTemporaryEvents(guard, true)
    SetEntityInvincible(guard, true)
    SetPedComponentVariation(guard, 3, 0, 1, 1)
    SetPedComponentVariation(guard, 8, 1, 1, 1)
    SetPedComponentVariation(guard, 9, 0, 0, 1)

    Citizen.Wait(1000)

    SetPedCombatMovement(guard, true)
    FreezeEntityPosition(guard, true)

    TaskStartScenarioInPlace(guard, "WORLD_HUMAN_GUARD_STAND", 0, false)

    local guardBlip = AddBlipForCoord(playerCoords.x, playerCoords.y, playerCoords.z)
    SetBlipSprite(guardBlip, 487)
    SetBlipDisplay(guardBlip, 4)
    SetBlipScale(guardBlip, 1.0)
    SetBlipAsShortRange(guardBlip, true)

    BeginTextCommandSetBlipName("STRING");
    AddTextComponentString("Scene Guard")
    EndTextCommandSetBlipName(guardBlip)
    
    -- Notification W/ Crime Reference
end)

Server.LUA

RegisterNetEvent('SG_SV:Create')
AddEventHandler('SG_SV:Create', function(coords, heading, source)
 
    TriggerClientEvent('SG_CL:Create', -1, coords, heading) -- Pass Source to fixw
 
end)

Hey there!
In my opinion you can change a little bit of your client code.

local cop = GetHashKey("pedCop")
RequestModel(cop)
while not HasModelLoaded(cop) do
        Wait(50)
end

local guard = CreatePed(4, cop, playerCoords.x, playerCoords.y, playerCoords.z, playerHeading, true, true)

The reason the ped might not be spawning is either the ped model is not correct or code that you’ve included is somewhat faulty.

Made the change, still does not work! Not sure why.

4

Change all instances of the following

GetHashKey("pedCop")

to

GetHashKey(pedCop)

Thanks all, it has been fixed!
