[.NET] How to fix infinite Load Loop when changing skin?

[frodzet]

            new GTA.MenuButton("Set player skin", () => {                Model test = new Model(PedHash.Chimp);                test.Request(500);                if (test.IsInCdImage && test.IsValid)                {                    while (!test.IsLoaded) Wait(100);                    Function.Call(Hash.SET_PLAYER_MODEL, player, test.Hash);                    Function.Call(Hash.SET_PED_DEFAULT_COMPONENT_VARIATION, player);                }                test.MarkAsNoLongerNeeded();            })

Works just as intended, however as soon as the character die the game ends up in some kind of infinite loop. How can i work around this issue? :-)

Couldn't you just check in your if statement about the player being alive?

if (test.IsInCdImage && test.IsValid && Game.Player.Character.IsAlive){     while (!test.IsLoaded) Wait(100);     Function.Call(Hash.SET_PLAYER_MODEL, player, test.Hash);     Function.Call(Hash.SET_PED_DEFAULT_COMPONENT_VARIATION, player);}

The way its done in native trainer and I copied that way was to have it revert back to Trevorr Michael or Franklin on death.

So in C# land, something like this (this is a direct translation from the cpp in native trainer) :

if (Function.Call<bool>(Hash.IS_ENTITY_DEAD, player)) ||   Function.Call<bool>(Hash.IS_PLAYER_BEING_ARRESTED, player, true)) {if (Game.Player.Character.Model != PedHash.Michael &&   Game.Player.Character.Model != PedHash.Trevor &&   Game.Player.Character.Model != PedHash.Franklin) {UI.Notify("Turning to normal");Wait(1000);ChangePlayer(PedHash.Franklin, false);}}

That won't work, unfortunately :-) That will only prevent you from changing while dead, you need to make sure that you will change back to normal skin when you die, are being arrested and what not :-)

Thank you :-)

By the way, small suggestion:

Model test = new Model(PedHash.Chimp);if (test.IsInCdImage && test.IsValid && test.Request(500)){		Function.Call(Hash.SET_PLAYER_MODEL, player, test.Hash);	Function.Call(Hash.SET_PED_DEFAULT_COMPONENT_VARIATION, player);} 

Request() method returns true if model was loaded in time specified by you.
