PedDesigner (NPC Designer) is a solution to spawning and designing peds, and optionally, having them appear in your game world automatically. It’s a handy way for server owners, clothing developers, modelers and other developers and designers to quickly and effectively spawn client-sided peds for testing and designing, saving their designs, and even allowing their saved designs to show up in the world exactly as they have designed them, without the use for any other plugins.
Simply fire up Ped Designer, select or spawn a ped, design them, set it to spawn and save. Your ped will now appear in the world exactly as you’ve designed!
A guard who spawns with a rifle and defends LSPD? A dog that wanders around Legion Square? All is possible with Ped Designer.

Made for ALL Users
-
Clothing Designers
It’s as easy as starting up your own local FiveM server, firing up the designer, spawning a ped or two, decorating them with your items, save them to spawn persistently. Everytime you connect, you’ll see your changes on your designed peds, and can always spawn new ones in a matter of minutes. -
Roleplay Developers
Need NPCs for missions, stores and more? Do you need a patrolling bodyguard for your construction sites? Simply design your ped, set their behaviors, and watch your city come to life. -
Map Developers
Need NPCs for your map? Design a ped, and then copy the generated information from the LUA file to see the design of your ped. Create your own script to include with your map for spawning a ped, assign the data that was generated, and your ped will pop into the game exactly as you designed it.
Ped Spawning
The script also includes it’s own built in, server-sided & client-sided ped spawning system. Any peds that are set to spawn will be loaded into the game using an optimized algorithm for spawning relevant peds and designing them. Peds will also act according to the behaviors set for them when they were saved.
To ensure a well optimized and functional spawning process, the following algorithm was used:
-
If any peds exist to be spawned, a loop will start.
-
The distance to the ped is checked, and the ped is spawned/despawned accordingly
-
Server sided peds are spawned as soon as a player is nearby enough to render it
-
The ped is spawned without modifications, and a server request is made to obtain the design as needed. This prevents massive transfer of data when not necessary.
-
The ped’s design is restored upon successful ack message
-
A mutex lock is used to ensure proper array access during the spawn process
-
The loops are terminated if no peds are eligible to be spawned
