This function can be used to disable streaming for an element. This will make sure the element is not virtualized (streamed out from GTA) when the player moves far away from it. This function only works in elements with a physical representation in the world (entities), such as players, peds, vehicles and objects.

Tip

Always use this function with caution . Not doing so can cause the following problems: There is a limit of elements that can be streamed in safely for every GTA entity type. If you bypass said limit by using this function, the client can experience problems of disappearing objects and unstability when trying to stream in new elements of that type. In general, if you disable too many elements (of the same type or not) to stream out, GTA will always try to render them, so it can cause a noticeable FPS drop.
