How can I disable the random skins?

[AlThePhoenix]

Hi there,

I recently moved over to MTA because SA:MP was just annoying me, and now I'm trying to set up my server.

My problem is that the skin that you can select in the menu, which you open with F1 (the resource 'freeroam'), won't be kept until respawn. Instead, you get another random skin. I couldn't find this in any of the loaded resources, now I don't know how to make the game keep the skin.

Maybe someone can help me out.

Regards,

After that didn't work either, I looked up my map script again. I can't describe how incredibly dumb I am.

It was just one freaking line called

repeat until setElementModel(player,math.random(312)) 

in the spawn-function. But thanks for the very fast reply anyway!

Erm... that doesn't help... that just lags your server.

How can this lag your server if setElementModel will return true when the model has been changed? Just for your information there is only a few skin IDs which don't work and the chance that these IDs will be picked 1000 of times one after another is ridiculously low, well, almost impossible. Besides, this line is from "play" which comes with MTA. Do you think MTA would include a gamemode which lags your server?

Well, lil_Toady shouted at me when I told people to do this:

repeat until spawnPlayer(player, x,y,z) 

He said if the player disconnects, then the server is in permanent lag or whatever.
