## Syntax

```lua
table engineGetModels([string kind = nil])
```

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `kind` | `string` | Only models of this kind: `object`, `vehicle`, `ped` or `weapon`. Without it, every model. *(default: `nil`)* |

## Returns

A table keyed by model name. Each value has `origin` (`"engine"` or `"content"`), `owner` (the pack or resource that brought it), `kind`, `drawable` (who gives the drawable it draws) and, for a model made with `engineCreateModel` from a parent, `parent`. Raises an error if `kind` is unknown.

## Example

```lua
for name, info in pairs(engineGetModels("vehicle")) do
    if info.parent then
        print(name .. " is based on " .. info.parent)
    end
end
```
