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

// set constants
const
CHAR_MODEL = #BFORI
CAR_MODEL = #PONY
CHAR_HANDLE = 0@
CAR_HANDLE = 1@
X_POS = 2@
Y_POS = 3@
Z_POS = 4@
end
 
// load model, required to prevent unnecessary crash!
0247: request_model CHAR_MODEL
0247: request_model CAR_MODEL
// check if model is loaded
repeat
    wait 0
    if and
        0248:   model CHAR_MODEL available
        0248:   model CAR_MODEL available
    then
        break
    end
until false
// spawn car

00A5: CAR_HANDLE = create_car CAR_MODEL at X_POS Y_POS Z_POS
