addEventHandler ( "onPlayerWasted", root,
function ( )
setElementModel ( source, 280 )
outputChatBox ( "You are now a Zombie.", source, 255, 0, 0 )
end
)
^^ Fixed up a bit, and your problem must be that the ped changes it's skin then respawns with another skin or such, just set a timer or change the event handler to "onPlayerSpawn".
setTimer
or
onPlayerSpawn
