engineRequestModelCreates a new model under a new number, shared by every player (also those who join later). An object ("object"/"timed-object", parent 1337 by default) gets a number from the 18631-19999 pool and is a copy of the parent; engineReplaceModel and engineReplaceCOL give it a look and a collision. A vehicle ("vehicle", parent 400), a ped ("ped", parent 7) and a tuning part ("upgrade", parent 1000-1193) get a number 20000-29999 and behave like the parent (seats, sound, handling, tuning), while engineReplaceModel in a client script gives the look. The third argument is a specific number or a name: the same name always gives the same number (stored in the server's model-ids.json), so cars and objects from a database are still that model after a restart, and a named model stays when the resource stops. On the client, the name of a server model returns its shared number. A model requested on the client before the game has loaded its models gets its number at once and is created once loading finishes.
