Build and install

Building and the result

Name the ped, check the options and press Build ped. The build delivers exactly what the last preview showed, with 22 pictures on the result page.

The ped name

The ped name in the Ped Creator becomes the model name of your ped. The folder, the game files, the zip and the chat command all carry it.

  1. 1. Ped name: the model name in game
  2. 2. Ragdoll: Auto picks by body type and height
  3. 3. Options: LODs, Story Mode, 22 pictures
  4. 4. You get: with the chat command of your ped
  • 3 to 32 characters: lowercase letters, numbers and _. It starts with a letter.
  • Capitals become lowercase as you type, and other characters are dropped.
  • Names of GTA's own peds are blocked, so you never replace one. Blocked prefixes: a_m_, a_f_, a_c_, s_m_, s_f_, u_m_, u_f_, g_m_, g_f_, mp_m_, mp_f_, mp_g_, csb_, cs_, ig_, hc_, player_.
  • After an upload the editor suggests sws_ plus the file name, after a picture sws_ped. The empty field shows sws_hero as an example.

A valid name shows Valid name. In game: /sws_mechanic. An invalid one says why:

  • Start with a lowercase letter.
  • Use 3 to 32 lowercase letters, numbers or _.
  • This looks like a GTA ped name. Pick another prefix, for example sws_.
  1. 1. Error line: says why the name is refused

The name does not change the preview, so typing it never asks for a new one. Pick a name you will keep: scripts and ped menus on your server refer to it. To rename a built ped, change the name and build again at the full price.

Ragdoll

Ragdoll sets the body GTA simulates when the Ped Creator ped falls, is hit or is run over. The default is Auto.

  • Auto

    Male or female by Body type, the large version from 2.10 m in the GTA pose. The list names the pick, for example Auto (large male, because 2.20 m).

  • Male

    The male GTA ragdoll.

  • Female

    The female GTA ragdoll.

  • Large male

    The male ragdoll for tall peds.

  • Large female

    The female ragdoll for tall peds.

Override Auto when it picks wrong. It goes by the height in the GTA pose, which can be higher than the height you set. Fused arms and Fit to game proportions both raise it. Ragdoll under the view shows the current pick.

Build options

The Ped Creator has three build options under Options in Name & build. Changing them never needs a new preview.

  • Distance models (LODs)

    Default:On
    What it does:Adds lighter versions of each part for players far away. Leave it on.

  • Story Mode version

    Default:Off
    What it does:Also packs the ped as a single-player DLC for GTA V Legacy with OpenIV. See Story Mode.

  • Render 22 pictures

    Default:On
    What it does:Renders the ped in 10 poses from the front and the side, plus two close-ups of the hands, for your store page.

With Render 22 pictures off, the build only renders the ped standing, from the front and the side, and finishes sooner. The hand checks still run.

You get sums up the download with the chat command of your ped. Below it, the server render of the last preview shows the ped from the front.

When Build ped unlocks

Build ped in the Ped Creator footer unlocks when three things are true:

  • The last preview matches every setting from Source to Materials. No step is yellow.
  • The ped name is valid.
  • You have enough credits.

Until then the line under the buttons says what is missing:

  • Add a model or picture to start.

    Upload a model or a picture in Source.

  • Run the first preview to see your ped.

    Press Update preview.

  • Update the preview first so the build matches what you see.

    A setting changed. Press Update preview.

  • Building is possible once the preview is done.

    Wait for the running preview.

  • Fix the problem above, then update the preview.

    The last preview failed. Its card says why and opens the step to fix.

  • Update the preview to try again.

    The last preview failed and its card offers Try again. Do what the card says, then try again.

  • Give your ped a name. Name & build

    Type a name. The other name errors above show here the same way. The link opens the step.

  • All 30 free previews of this draft are used. Build the ped or start a new draft.

    Build from the last preview, or start a new draft.

  • You need 2,500 credits, you have 800. Top up

    Top up opens the credit options.

  • Previews are free: 28 of 30 left for this draft.

    Nothing is missing: Build ped is ready.

Price and credits

A Ped Creator build costs 2,500 credits. The footer shows the price on the left and your balance on the right, for example “balance 12,400”.

  • Credits are held when the build starts and charged when it succeeds. A failed build releases them, and its message ends with “Nothing was charged.”
  • During a discount the footer shows the lower price.
  • If the price changes between your click and the start, the build does not start. The footer says The price is now 2,000 credits. Check it and build again. Press Build ped again to accept it.
  • Building a ped again, for example after Open in the Ped Creator, is a new build at the full price.

On a phone the button carries the price: Build ped · 2,500.

While it builds

Build ped takes you to the job page of the Ped Creator build. A build usually takes 60 to 120 seconds. Ours took 91 seconds. Story Mode version adds a little to that.

  1. 1. Stages: each stage of the build as it runs

The page lists the stages, from Queued and Reading your model to Rendering pictures and Packaging. You can close it; the ped lands in your assets either way.

The result page

When the build is done, its job page turns into the Ped Creator result page.

  1. 1. Thumbnails: click one to see it large
  2. 2. Height / Triangles / Ragdoll / Bones: the numbers of the built ped
  • The pictures come from the finished game files, posed with vanilla animations. Click a thumbnail to see it large.
  • Height, Triangles, Ragdoll and Bones of the built ped sit below them.
  • Addon ped ready on the right lists the install steps and the chat command, here /sws_mechanic.
  • FiveM .zip at the top right downloads the resource. Download FiveM ZIP under Files does the same.
  1. 1. FiveM .zip: downloads the resource

The 22 pictures, in the order of the gallery. Each pose comes from the front and from the side:

  • Rest

    Standing in the GTA rest pose.

  • Run, Sprint

    Running and sprinting.

  • Car enter, Car sit

    Getting into a car, and sitting in the driver seat.

  • Chair

    Sitting on a chair.

  • Kick

  • Crouch rifle

    Walking crouched with a rifle.

  • Flex

  • Hands peace, Hands rock

    Two close-ups of both hands, front only. The right hand of the ped is on the left.
The two hand close-ups of the example ped: the peace sign and the rock sign.

Below the result, Open in the Ped Creator opens the draft of this build to change joints, parts or textures and build again. New ped starts an empty editor.

  1. 1. Open in the Ped Creator: reopens the draft of this build

Where your peds are kept

Every Ped Creator build stays in your assets. In the sidebar open Assets, then My assets. A finished ped shows as a card marked Ped; it opens the result page with the download.

  1. 1. Ped: opens the result page with the download
  • A model generated from a picture shows as Ped model. Its page offers Continue in the Ped Creator.
  • With other assets in the list, the Peds filter above the grid shows only peds and ped models, with their count.
  • Previews are not listed. Their results live in the draft.
  • Peds cannot go into the Resource Merger. Each one registers its own peds.meta, so it installs as its own resource; the Merger says “Peds install as their own resource”.

Next: install the ped on your server.
