Hashes are the Jenkins one-at-a-time (joaat) hash of the lowercase spawn name, the value GetHashKey returns. The signed column is the same 32-bit number the way FiveM natives print it. Names and classes are checked against a dump of the game's own vehicle data. More on spawn names and model hashes.

How to spawn helicopters in FiveM

FiveM has no built-in spawn command. A resource on the server provides it, so the way in depends on what the server runs:

  • QBCore, Qbox and ESX: type /car buzzard2 in chat. All three register /car followed by the spawn name and limit it to admins by default.
  • vMenu: use "Spawn Vehicle By Model Name" in the vehicle spawner and enter buzzard2, if your permissions allow it.
  • txAdmin: admins with the vehicle permission can spawn by model name from the in-game menu (/tx).
  • Your own script: request the model, then call CreateVehicle with the spawn name or its hash (0x2C75F0DD for buzzard2). The FiveM docs build a /car command this way in Creating your first script.

The /car command in the FiveM docs tutorial creates the vehicle at the player's own position, facing the way the player faces, and puts the player in the driver's seat. A helicopter is much larger than a car, so use it in an open space.

Type the name in lowercase and without spaces. If a name from the table does not spawn, the usual reason is the game build: vehicles added by later game updates only exist on a server whose enforced game build (sv_enforceGameBuild) includes them.

Helicopters spawn codes: questions

What is the spawn code for the Buzzard, the Maverick and the Frogger?

The Buzzard is buzzard2 (model hash 0x2C75F0DD, or 745926877 as a signed number). The Maverick is maverick and the Frogger is frogger. The table on this page has all 31 vehicles of the Helicopters class.

How do I spawn a helicopter in FiveM?

FiveM has no built-in spawn command; a resource on the server adds one. On QBCore, Qbox and ESX type /car buzzard2 in chat (limited to admins by default). vMenu has a Spawn Vehicle By Model Name option, and admins with the vehicle permission can spawn by model name from the txAdmin in-game menu. In a script, request the model and call CreateVehicle with the spawn name or its hash.

What is the police helicopter spawn code in FiveM?

polmav, the Police Maverick. The civilian Maverick is maverick. Both are in the Helicopters class.

Is the Buzzard spawn code buzzard or buzzard2?

Both exist. buzzard is the Buzzard Attack Chopper and buzzard2 is the Buzzard.

Do add-on helicopters use these spawn codes?

No. This page lists vehicles that ship with the game. An add-on vehicle has its own spawn name: the modelName in its vehicles.meta, which matches the .yft file name in the stream folder. It must not be the same as a name in this table, or it replaces that vehicle. A resource made by the converter keeps the mod's own spawn name.

How it works: converting add-on vehicles. After the install: fix an add-on car name that shows NULL. Back to the full list of GTA 5 vehicle spawn codes.
