Playing around with a callout script and trying to spawn an EUP ped.  Everything is working correctly except that when I try to set the hair (Component #2), the hair shows up as bright green.  Tried searching for similar issues and didn't find any info.  I need the hair to be normal, random colors... black, brown, etc.

 

Code below:

Spoiler

Model policeOfficerModel = new Model("mp_m_freemode_01");
Ped policeOfficer = new Ped(policeOfficerModel, newPosition, newHeading);
policeOfficer.SetVariation(2, 74, 0); // component 2 = hair, drawable 74, texture 0

 

Any ideas how to be able to set the hair style without it turning out bright green?  I really don't want to leave all my spawned peds bald.

 

Apologies if this is not the correct subforum for this question.

Figured this out.  For anybody having a similar issue, the solution is sort of two-step as described below.

 

1) After setting the hair component (Component #2), call the SET_PED_HEAD_BLEND_DATA native method.  Not sure if the order matters for those two actions, but this is what I did and it worked.  Calling the native Head Blend method will set their face shape & skin color, and for some reason it also fixes the green hair issue.

 

2) [OPTIONAL] After calling the Head Blend native method, all hair will be black by default.  If you want to change it to another color, you will then need to call the _SET_PED_HAIR_COLOR native method.

 

Two important notes about the _SET_PED_HAIR_COLOR native method:

• When trying to call the method by name, it was crashing LSPDFR and my game.  I had to use the CallByHash method to call it.
• This method does NOT work until you've called the SET_PED_HEAD_BLEND_DATA method as described in step 1.

 

Sample below for illustration purposes... (read: this specific example not tested, but should work)

 

Spoiler

 

// STEP 1: set the hair component
ped.SetVariation(2, 4, 0);  // Component 2, Drawable 4, Texture 0

 

// STEP 2: call SET_PED_HEAD_BLEND_DATA native method
NativeFunction.Natives.SET_PED_HEAD_BLEND_DATA(ped, 2, 27, 0, 14, 30, 0, 0.4847583f, 0.9027591f, 0.0f, 0);

 

// STEP 3: call _SET_PED_HAIR_COLOR native method by hash
NativeArgument argPed = new NativeArgument(ped.Handle);
NativeArgument argColor1 = new NativeArgument(3); // Primary Color
NativeArgument argColor2 = new NativeArgument(3); // Highlight Color
NativeFunction.CallByHash<int>(0x4CFFC65454C93A49, argPed, argColor1, argColor2);
