CREATE_CAR

This creates a vehicle at a point. Using this opcode requires models loaded through opcode 0247 or else the game might crash. The major script editors like Sanny Builder support using the vehicle's DFF model name and automatically converts those values into integers upon compilation. Some cars are locked by default when spawned, including Enforcer, Police, and Rhino. Those can be unlocked using opcode 020A. All vehicles created by this opcode will become near-permanent in the game until opcode 01C3 is used to release them from memory.

Example

See also: Spawn a vehicle

The following example, using Sanny Builder, will spawn a Pony close to the player character.

// set constants
const
SPAWNED_CAR = 0@
X_POS = 1@
Y_POS = 2@
Z_POS = 3@
CAR_MODEL = #PONY
end
 
// spawn pony
0247: request_model CAR_MODEL
repeat
    wait 0
    if
        0248:   model CAR_MODEL available
    then
        break
    end
until false
00A0: store_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR position_to X_POS Y_POS Z_POS
X_POS += 4.0
00A5: SPAWNED_CAR = create_car CAR_MODEL at X_POS Y_POS Z_POS
