GTA 3 Definitive Edition car spawning freeze

[mateusz-korbut]

When I spawn a car in async mode then it freezes the whole script:

protected spawnCar(modelId: number) {
        log('spawnCar: loadModel ' + new Date().toTimeString());
        loadModel(modelId);

        log('spawnCar: create car' + new Date().toTimeString());
        // Car.Create this freeze game
        this.currentCar = Car.Create(modelId, this.playerPos.x, this.playerPos.y, this.playerPos.z);
        log('spawnCar: after create car' + new Date().toTimeString());

        log('spawnCar: MarkModelAsNoLongerNeeded ' + new Date().toTimeString());
        Streaming.MarkModelAsNoLongerNeeded(modelId);
        log('spawnCar: end ' + new Date().toTimeString());
    }

I got a stack trace from cleo_redux.log:

It may happen if the model (modelId) was not loaded. Can you show loadModel?
also what do you mean as "async mode"? I don't see any async/await keywords in this code.

[mateusz-korbut]

export const loadModel = (modelId: number) => {
    Streaming.RequestModel(modelId);

    while (!Streaming.HasModelLoaded(modelId)) {
        wait(250);
    }
}

It's ok when it's like:

    while (true) {
        wait(250);

        if (Pad.IsKeyPressed(KeyCode.F1))
           spawnCar(CAR_ID);
    }

but when I use it in an async loop then the game freezes:

(async () => {
    while (true) {
        await asyncWait(250);

        if (Pad.IsKeyPressed(KeyCode.F1))
            spawnCar(CAR_ID);
    }
)();

you can't use wait in async scripts. rewrite loadModel to be an async function and use asyncWait

export const loadModel = async (modelId: number) => {
    Streaming.RequestModel(modelId);

    while (!Streaming.HasModelLoaded(modelId)) {
        await asyncWait(250);
    }
}


async function spawnCar(modelId: number) {
    log('spawnCar: loadModel ' + new Date().toTimeString());
    await loadModel(modelId);

    log('spawnCar: create car' + new Date().toTimeString());
    // Car.Create this freeze game
    this.currentCar = Car.Create(modelId, this.playerPos.x, this.playerPos.y, this.playerPos.z);
    log('spawnCar: after create car' + new Date().toTimeString());

    log('spawnCar: MarkModelAsNoLongerNeeded ' + new Date().toTimeString());
    Streaming.MarkModelAsNoLongerNeeded(modelId);
    log('spawnCar: end ' + new Date().toTimeString());
}

(async () => {
    while (true) {
        await asyncWait(250);

        if (Pad.IsKeyPressed(KeyCode.F1))
            await spawnCar(CAR_ID);
    }
)();

Sorry, I've copied the latest script where I've removed all async methods.

I've copied and pasted your code with asyncWait and the problem still occurs:

Vice City DE and San Andreas DE works correctly 🤔
