alt.loadModel

Used to load a model based on hash. Best when used in tandem with alt.hash.

Declaration

alt.loadModel(modelHash: number): void

Usage

alt.loadModel(someModelHash);

Real World Example

const someModelHash = alt.hash('cheetah');
alt.loadModel(hash);

You should definitely use async for loading models and spawning objects, you want to ensure that the model is loaded before creating the object

Alternative Implementation

Personally, I have had issues with use alt.loadModel so I've opted for using natives for loading models. Here's a raw implementation using natives.

export async function loadModel(hash: number): Promise<boolean> {
    return await new Promise((resolve: Function) => {
        native.requestModel(hash);
        let count = 0;

        if (native.hasModelLoaded(hash)) {
            resolve(true);
            return;
        }

        const interval = alt.setInterval(() => {
            if (count >= 100) {
                resolve(false);
                alt.clearInterval(interval);
                return;
            }

            if (!native.hasModelLoaded(hash)) {
                count += 1;
                return;
            }

            alt.clearInterval(interval);
            resolve(true);
        }, 100);
    });
}

These examples assume you have imported alt from alt-client.
