Spoiler

I am creating a towtruck at a defined Vector3 point like this:
Vehicle callCar = new Vehicle("TOWTRUCK2", carSpawnPoint);
That works unreliable, because most of the times, the Towtruck spawns without the Hook-attachment:

 

On Discord it was suggested that using a Native would result in spawn with the attachment.
(Why it should idk...)
The method i then tried to use was
// CREATE_VEHICLE
int /* Vehicle */ CreateVehicle(uint modelHash, float x, float y, float z, float heading, bool isNetwork, bool netMissionEntity);

Like this:
Vehicle callCar = NativeFunction.Natives.CreateVehicle<int>(
        NativeFunction.Natives.GetHashKey("TOWTRUCK2"),
        carSpawnPoint.X, carSpawnPoint.Y, carSpawnPoint.Z, 0f, false, false);
        
That fails:

==========================================================================================
 Unhandled exception occurred in console command "ForceDuty"
 Exception type: System.NullReferenceException
 Exception message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
 Stack trace: at System.Object.GetType()

Do i need the actual HASH for Towtruck2, if so -Where can i find that?

OR
Is it not possible to define an object this way
Vehicle callCar = NativeFunction.Natives.CreateVehicle
That 'mix' of API methods..
A solution where the hook-attachment is forced-created, if it is missing, would also work fine

 

 

The native returns a unsigned integer, you cannot cast that to a class of type Rage.Vehicle. Use Rage.World.GetEntityByHandle to convert it.

I am still struggling with this
I has been told to try to force a 'finished build' of the model. That should be done like

             Model MM = new Model("towtruck2");
             MM.LoadAndWait();

             Vehicle callCar = new Vehicle(MM, carSpawnPoint);

 

That still results in a towtruck without hook-attachment

Then back to Natives...
What i have is
             PoolHandle ph = new PoolHandle(
             NativeFunction.Natives.World.GetEntityByHandle(
             NativeFunction.Natives.CreateVehicle<uint>(
             Game.GetHashKey("towtruck2"), carSpawnPoint.X, carSpawnPoint.Y, carSpawnPoint.Z, 1f, false, false)));
It results in an exception
I am dead in the water here

 

 

Swimming again, but only because i have had help from

@alexguirre on Discord.

The solution also has one of the strangest constructors i ever saw- One with no lefthand in the statement?!
-And usage of a RAGE method

public void LoadAndWait()

I did not knew.
But it is how this method is used in the constructor that is mindbogglingly for me

`new Model("towtruck2").LoadAndWait();`

Constructors instantiate an object. That object is the left-hand-side
Like

`Model m = new Model("towtruck2").LoadAndWait();

`
Eg statement has a *left-hand-side*, and it does NOT work!
`<can not convert void to Rage.Model>`

 

Model m = new Model("towtruck2");
MM.LoadAndWait();

That Builds, but evaluates to 00000000
The left-hand-empty statement evaluate to 0000c302
!
It get even more wooot, because the anonymous statement infront of *RAGE Vehicle*-creation syntax:

new Model("towtruck2").LoadAndWait();
Vehicle callCar = new Vehicle("towtruck2", carSpawnPoint);

Does ALSO spawn a towtruck2 WITH hook-attachment!
So Natives was not even needed. It was only needed to have that *wait-for-the-model-to-load* statement eg
LoadAndWait(); !
Wow..
That is going to be a lifesaver again, i am SURE
Lesson learned: Any issues with Model, make sure it has completely loaded

So what about the Natives
That has a rather complicated statement. It is necessary to use a PoolHandle and a cast to uint, furthermorethe statement with   loadAndWait() and no left-hand-side also need to be used again
  

PoolHandle ph = new PoolHandle(
                                            NativeFunction.Natives.CreateVehicle<uint>(
                                                Game.GetHashKey("towtruck2"),
                                                Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Position,
                                                1f, false, false));

furthermore the statement with loadAndWait() and no left-hand-side also need to be used again.
bOTTOMLINE:
Natives was not needed
Constructors can have no left-hand-side 🙃
