[Solved] Howto create peds tutorial request

FiveM Resource Development & Modding Discussion
1

I would like to ask if someone could make a tutorial on how to create a ped on certain locations.

i tried following below “server.lua”

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
-- Create Peds for all the stores
 function pedLoad (name)
   CreatePed(1706635382, -46.370, -1758.160, 29.421)
 end
 addEventHandler ("onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(), pedLoad)
end)

and in my “client.lua”

storePed = createPed(1706635382, 46.370, 1758.160, 29.005) 
function cancelPedDamage()
	cancelEvent() 
end
addEventHandler("onClientPedDamage", storePed, cancelPedDamage)

However this fails, so i hope someone can help me out.

Something like this should work in your client.lua:

local firstspawn = 0
local peds = { { -46.370, -1758.160, 29.421}, {other}, {locations}, {here} }
local thisPed
local pedCoords = {}
local storedPeds = {}
AddEventHandler('playerSpawned', function(spawn)
	if firstspawn == 0 then
		for i=1, 10, 1 do
			pedCoords = peds[i]
			thisPed = CreatePed(26, 1706635382, pedCoords[1], pedCoords[2], pedCoords[3], 0.0, true, true)
			table.insert(storedPeds, {ped = thisPed})
			SetEntityInvincible(thisPed, true)
		end
		firstspawn = 1
	end
end)

I haven’t had a chance to test it, but it should create 10 peds in different locations. You must add more locations in peds or lower the amount it loops.
There is an easier way but I think that it’s a good idea to keep track of the peds you have created, in case you want to delete or access them later.

As for your code, you have the eventHandlers at the bottom and below the end so that it probably one reason for it not working.

@Cosmo
I have a little script that spawns peds on the new nightclub, but for some reason its spawnning peds per player, for example if there’re 2 players online it’ll spawn 2 peds any way to fix this?

Thanks for yout time

Sup, my last name is CARNERO, so we maybe related or something (¿)

The solution to that is in the 7th comma on CreatePed(), it is “IsNetwork”, this is TRUE or FALSE. True will spawn a NPC for every player on the server, put that on false.

Ahahah maybe :thinking:

Did you solve the problem that NPC are not syncing with all players in scene?, when you put isNetwork to true, every duped npc is sync with every player in the area.

Can you help me with that? i’m tring to make a laboratory zone with guarding NPC. Let me know if you can help me because I’m still getting dual NPC with isNetwork true, and false it will attack each client individual. I’m using npclife script for this, i’m an id1ot on .lua, Thanks!

I’ve tried with and without native SetEntityAsMissionEntity and i dont see a difference.
