RequestAnimDict

FiveM client native documentation with a Lua example.

Summary

Loads an animation dictionary so you can play its animations. Pair with HasAnimDictLoaded in a wait loop before TaskPlayAnim.

Returns

void

Parameters

animDictstringThe animation dictionary name.

Example

local dict = 'amb@world_human_hang_out_street@male_c@base'
RequestAnimDict(dict)
while not HasAnimDictLoaded(dict) do Wait(0) end
TaskPlayAnim(PlayerPedId(), dict, 'base', 8.0, -8.0, -1, 1, 0, false, false, false)

Common pitfalls

  • Wait for HasAnimDictLoaded before playing, or the anim silently fails.
  • Call RemoveAnimDict when done to free memory.
  • Add a timeout so a bad dict name doesn't hang forever.
