populationPedCreating

This event is fired before creating a population ped and allows manipulating population from script. You can also cancel this event with CancelEvent(). Setters contains two function:

setPosition to set the position where the ped is going to spawn at.
setModel to set the model that the ped is going to spawn as.

Parameters

float posX, float posY, float posZ, uint model, object setters

posX: The X position the ped is going to spawn at.
posY: The Y position the ped is going to spawn at.
posZ: The Z position the ped is going to spawn at.
model: The model the ped is going to spawn as.
setters: Object to override what the ped spawns as.
- setModel(string model) - Sets the model of the ped created.
- setPosition(float x, float y, float z) - Adjusts the position of the ped.

Examples

This example illustrates how you can intercept population:

Lua Example:

CreateThread(function()
    RequestModel('s_m_y_cop_01')
end)

AddEventHandler('populationPedCreating', function(x, y, z, model, setters)
    Citizen.Trace(('making cop at %s %s %s plus a bit (was %s)\n'):format(tostring(x), tostring(y), tostring(z), tostring(model)))

    setters.setModel('s_m_y_cop_01') -- you can use a hash as well
    setters.setPosition(x, y, z + 5.5)

    -- you can also CancelEvent() to skip creating the ped
end)

JavaScript Example:

setImmediate(() => {
  RequestModel('s_m_y_cop_01')
})

on('populationPedCreating', (x, y, z, model, setters) => {
    console.log(`Making cop at ${x} ${y} ${z} plus a bit (${model})`);
    setters.setModel('s_m_y_cop_01') // you can use a hash as well
    setters.setPosition(x, y, z + 5.5)
})

C# Example:

const string replacement = "s_m_y_cop_01";
new Model(replacement).Request();

EventHandlers["populationPedCreating"] += new Action<float, float, float, uint, dynamic>(
        ( x, y, z, model, setters ) => {
            Debug.WriteLine( $"Making cop at {x}, {y}, {z} plus a bit ({(PedHash)model})" );
            setters.setModel( replacement );
            setters.setPosition( x, y, z + 5.5f );
        });
