Make a ped sit...

[benwilkins]

  
       giovanna = createPed(258,  2135.662109375, -1739.5107421875, 17.281345367432) 
     
    setElementInterior(giovanna, 0) 
    setElementDimension(giovanna, 0) 
    setPedFrozen(giovanna, true) 
    setPedAnimation (giovanna, "INT_OFFICE", "OFF_Sit_Idle_Loop", -1, false, false, false ) 
    setPedRotation(giovanna, 87) 
    setElementFrozen(giovanna, true) 

He spawns, but wont sit..

EDIT: Woops, beat me to it, haha

Try that..

  setTimer(setPedAnimation, 1000,1,giovanna, "INT_OFFICE", "OFF_Sit_Idle_Loop", -1, false, false, false )

It's important to delay any changes to a ped after creating it, as it seems to take a tiny fraction of a second for the ped to spawn.

[DiSaMe]

It's not about spawning, it's related to streaming in or setting the syncer, as this problem (also preventing the ped from being given the weapon or getting warped into vehicle) also occurs when setPedAnimation/giveWeapon/warpPedIntoVehicle are used on ped which isn't near any player.

[Slothman]

That's correct, you will need to reapply the animation using the event onClientElementStreamIn.
