This is the support thread for the riot mod released at https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/net-riot-mod-2020

I'm getting a NullReferenceException at "if (ped.Exists())" line in the following script:

    private Ped SpawnRandomPed(List<Ped> ListPeds, string[] ModelsList, string[] WeaponsList, int Accuracy, int Health, int BodyArmor, int RelationshipGroup)
    {
        string ModelName = RandomChoice<string>(ModelsList);
        string WeaponName = RandomChoice<string>(WeaponsList);

        PedHash pedSpawn;
        WeaponHash weaponGive;

        if (!Enum.TryParse<PedHash>(ModelName, true, out pedSpawn))
        {
            Wait(2000);
            throw new FormatException("Ped name " + ModelName + " does not exist!");
        }

        if (!Enum.TryParse<WeaponHash>(WeaponName, true, out weaponGive))
        {
            Wait(2000);
            throw new FormatException("Weapon name " + WeaponName + " does not exist!");
        }


        Vector3 PositionToUse;
        if (ListPeds == spawnedBodyguard)
        {
            PositionToUse = Game.Player.Character.GetOffsetInWorldCoords(new Vector3(-8, 0, 0));
        }
        else
        {
            if (Game.Player.Character.IsInVehicle())
            {
                PedMinSpawnDistanceReal = PedMinSpawnDistance + 60;
                PedMaxSpawnDistanceReal = PedMaxSpawnDistance + 60;
            }
            else
            {
                PedMinSpawnDistanceReal = PedMinSpawnDistance;
                PedMaxSpawnDistanceReal = PedMaxSpawnDistance;
            }
            RandomDistance = Function.Call<float>(Hash.GET_RANDOM_FLOAT_IN_RANGE, PedMinSpawnDistanceReal, PedMaxSpawnDistanceReal);
            PositionToUse = Game.Player.Character.Position.Around(PedMaxSpawnDistance);
        }

        Ped ped = World.CreatePed(pedSpawn, PositionToUse);

        WritePedDataToFile(ModelName, WeaponName, Accuracy, Health, BodyArmor, RelationshipGroup);

        if (ped.Exists())
        {
            if (ListPeds == spawnedBodyguard)
            {
                Function.Call(Hash.SET_PED_AS_GROUP_MEMBER, ped, relationshipGroupPlayer);
                ped.RelationshipGroup = Game.Player.Character.RelationshipGroup;
                ped.CanBeTargetted = true;
                Function.Call(Hash.SET_PED_AS_GROUP_LEADER, Game.Player.Character, relationshipGroupPlayer);
            }
            else
            {
                ped.RelationshipGroup = RelationshipGroup;
            }
        }
    }

I don't know why this is happening. I even made a log (WritePedDataToFile) to see if there was anything wrong with the values but there is not.

My mod has a ini where users can define the models that a ped will spawn as:

Ini:
[StormtrooperSpawnSettings]
MaxMembers=2
Accuracy=10
Health=140
BodyArmor=100
OnlyAttackPlayer=false
Models=stormtrooper
Weapons=UnholyHellbringer

with vanilla models it works fine. But in the case of addon models it throws a null exception error.
Here's the code:

private Ped SpawnRandomPed(List<Ped> ListPeds, string[] ModelsList, string[] WeaponsList, int Accuracy, int Health, int BodyArmor, bool OnlyAttackPlayer, bool WillAttackSelf, int RelationshipGroup)
{
string ModelName = RandomChoice<string>(ModelsList);

PedHash pedSpawn;

if (!Enum.TryParse<PedHash>(ModelName, true, out pedSpawn))
{
    throw new FormatException("Ped name " + ModelName + " does not exist!");
}

Vector3 PositionToUse;
RandomDistance = Function.Call<float>(Hash.GET_RANDOM_FLOAT_IN_RANGE, PedMinSpawnDistance, PedMaxSpawnDistance);
PositionToUse = Game.Player.Character.Position.Around(PedMaxSpawnDistance);
		
Ped ped = World.CreatePed(pedSpawn, PositionToUse);

}

How can i make the game recognize the models? When i apply them to my character it works.

I'm trying to make the Swat01SMY (NOOSE agent) and Marine03SMY (Fully equipped Marine) always wear their helmets. But when spawned the NOOSE agents never get a helmet/goggles and the marines only get the gas mask and helmet SOMETIMES. How can i do that?
