QUESTIONS

About fbi_2_mcs_3_p1a

What is fbi_2_mcs_3_p1a?

It is one of the 772 cutscene names GTA 5 ships. The leading token, fbi, is the mission or strand it belongs to, which has 29 scenes in total. The name carries the mission segment convention.

How do I play fbi_2_mcs_3_p1a in FiveM?

RequestCutscene("fbi_2_mcs_3_p1a", 8), loop until HasCutsceneLoaded() returns true, then StartCutscene(0). Wait for IsCutsceneActive() to go false and call RemoveCutscene(). The block on this page does all four in order.

Nothing plays. What is wrong?

Almost always the wait: StartCutscene in the same frame as the request plays nothing, because the scene has not streamed in yet. After that, check that the scene has the entities it expects — a scene written around a story character plays to an empty set if nothing is registered for that slot.
