Warning

Known Bug(s):
  • If a player's skin is set when they are crouching, in a vehicle, or performing certain animations, they will become frozen or otherwise glitched. This can be fixed by using TogglePlayerControllable. Players can be detected as being crouched through GetPlayerSpecialAction (SPECIAL_ACTION_DUCK).
  • Other players around the player may crash if he is in a vehicle or if he is entering/leaving a vehicle.
  • Setting a player's skin when he is dead may crash players around him.
  • Breaks sitting on bikes.


Example Usage:

public OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[])
{
    if(strcmp(cmdtext, "/fireman", true) == 0)
    {
        // Set the player's skin to ID 277, which is a fireman.
        SetPlayerSkin(playerid, 277);
        return 1;
    }
    return 0;
}
stock SetPlayerSkinFix(playerid, skinid)
{
	new
	    Float:tmpPos[4],
		vehicleid = GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid),
		seatid = GetPlayerVehicleSeat(playerid);
	GetPlayerPos(playerid, tmpPos[0], tmpPos[1], tmpPos[2]);
	GetPlayerFacingAngle(playerid, tmpPos[3]);
	if(skinid < 0 || skinid > 299) return 0;
	if(GetPlayerSpecialAction(playerid) == SPECIAL_ACTION_DUCK)
	{
	    SetPlayerPos(playerid, tmpPos[0], tmpPos[1], tmpPos[2]);
		SetPlayerFacingAngle(playerid, tmpPos[3]);
		TogglePlayerControllable(playerid, 1); // preventing any freeze - optional
		return SetPlayerSkin(playerid, skinid);
	}
	else if(IsPlayerInAnyVehicle(playerid))
	{
	    new
	        tmp;
	    RemovePlayerFromVehicle(playerid);
	    SetPlayerPos(playerid, tmpPos[0], tmpPos[1], tmpPos[2]);
		SetPlayerFacingAngle(playerid, tmpPos[3]);
		TogglePlayerControllable(playerid, 1); // preventing any freeze - important - because of doing animations of exiting vehicle
		tmp = SetPlayerSkin(playerid, skinid);
		PutPlayerInVehicle(playerid, vehicleid, (seatid == 128) ? 0 : seatid);
		return tmp;
	}
	else
	{
	    return SetPlayerSkin(playerid, skinid);
	}
