023C

   LOAD_SPECIAL_CHARACTER

---

Description

Loads a special character into the specified memory slot

Syntax

023C: load_special_actor [int] '[string]'

023C: load_special_actor '[string]' as [int]

Parameter

[int]

Memory slot (from 1 to 4 in GTA III, 1 to 21 in Vice City, and 1 to 10 in San Andreas)

[string]

Valid character DFF model name (see below)

This opcode loads a special character into the specified memory slot. It is required when using opcode 009A with special models or opcode 02E6 during cutscenes. An interesting thing about this opcode is that the DFF model does not need to be defined in an IDE file. All it needs is a functional character model. Opcode 023D checks if the character has been loaded and opcode 0296 unloads it.

List of valid models

This is a list of all usable in-game characters that are not defined in an IDE file and can be spawned by calling opcode 009A as a special ped. That excludes the ones that can only be used in cutscenes.
