Heya!

 

I'm currently working on spawning certain props inside an MLO interior. Most of the time it works great, however sometimes they simply refuse to spawn. RPH even throwing an error stating that "hash ... does not exists"

 

The issue is: Those objects definitely exists since sometimes they do spawn in from the same code without changing anything, and if I spawn them via Menyoo, they work 100% of the time.

 

 

This is one of the objects that occasionally refuse to spawn: v_corp_cd_recseat

 

This is my current code to check if the object does in fact exist before I even try loading the model:

if (NativeFunction.Natives.IS_MODEL_IN_CDIMAGE<bool>(Utils.GetHash(modelname)) && NativeFunction.Natives.IS_MODEL_VALID<bool>(Utils.GetHash(modelname)))

If this check is passed, the object will spawn in normally as expected. If it fails the above test and I try to spawn it in, RPH will throw the "doesn't exist" error message.

 

But why would the same model, in the same playthrough exist in menyoo but not in my code?

I wonder if a specific IPL or other data needs to be requested in order for the model to be actually loaded by the game. I assume after you spawn it once via Menyoo it will return true for your check?

Haven't tested that yet, but it sometimes spawns without using Menyoo first. Just launching the game and then triggering the code. Ans it's not like I'm accidently loading some interior sets first. It's always the same:

 

Start the game, fade screen to black, teleport the player and try go spawn all objects

 

I'll test your theory once I get home and reply back with more info

Coming back to your question.

 

I was able to test it and after spawning the prop with menyoo it also spawned from my script.

 

Some further info: Before spawning it with Menyoo, both IsModelValid and IsModelInCDImage returned false. I found a thread on FiveM forum https://forum.cfx.re/t/ismodelvalid-returns-false-at-high-altitudes-around-z-610-for-some-props/5116232 where a guy explained that not all models are loaded at runtime and are only loaded in specific locations which might explain why some spawnpoints work well and others do not.

 

That still leaves the question how Menyoo is able to spawn those objects in all locations

To narrow it down, you could try spawning the prop named in the thread you linked. If Menyoo can also spawn that, it might have a clean general workaround. If it cannot, then perhaps there is a subset that can be requested through IPLs.
