Police job script

[Potato_Tomato420]

I'm scripting a police job for my server, how can i force a player to follow a other player? Like arresting a criminal.

Use

setControlState -- forward, sprint, walk
setPedRotation -- to obviously change player's rotation when the police officer changes his.

With some calculations you may achieve your goal

--Example

function followArrestor(player, cop)
	if (not isElement(player) or not isElement(cop)) then return end
	if (isPedInVehicle(player) or not isPlayerArrested(player)) then return end
	
	local cX, cY = getElementPosition(cop)
	local pX, pY = getElementPosition(player)
	local copangle = (360 - math.deg(math.atan2((cX - pX), (cY - pY)))) % 360
	setPedRotation(player, copangle)
	setCameraTarget(player, player)
	
	setElementInterior(player, getElementInterior(cop))
	setElementDimension(player, getElementDimension(cop))
	
	local dist = getDistanceBetweenPoints2D(cX, cY, pX, pY)
	if (dist > 16) then
			-- Warp
		local x, y, z = getElementPosition(cop)
		setElementPosition(player, x, y, z)
		setTimer(followArrestor, 500, 1, player, cop)
	elseif (dist > 12) then
			-- Sprint
		setControlState(player, "sprint", true)
		setControlState(player, "walk", false)
		setControlState(player, "forwards", true)
		setTimer(followArrestor, 500, 1, player, cop)
	elseif (dist > 6) then
			-- Jog
		setControlState(player, "sprint", false)
		setControlState(player, "walk", false)
		setControlState(player, "forwards", true)
		setTimer(followArrestor, 500, 1, player, cop)
	elseif (dist > 1.5) then
			-- Walk
		setControlState(player, "sprint", false)
		setControlState(player, "walk", true)
		setControlState(player, "forwards", true)
		setTimer(followArrestor, 500, 1, player, cop)
	elseif (dist <= 1.5) then
			-- Stop
		setControlState(player, "sprint", false)
		setControlState(player, "walk", false)
		setControlState(player, "forwards", false)
		setTimer(followArrestor, 500, 1, player, cop)
	end
