[HELP] Animation chasing a player.

[Ryuto]

Hello how are you?

 

I want to ask if it is possible to use an animation that chases a nearby player that is being targeted.

I give an example:

Pressing the "1" key while selecting a nearby player activates Woozie's running animation and then begins chasing the player for a certain amount of time.

 

I give an example of what I'm looking for...

 

 

and this is the code to target a player.

 

local playerSelectedTarget
local alpha = 255


addEventHandler("onClientRender", root,
    function()
        if ( getKeyState("mouse2") == true ) then
            local x,y,z = getElementPosition(localPlayer)
             for k,target in ipairs(getElementsByType("player",root,true)) do
                if not ( target == localPlayer ) then
                    local px,py,pz = getElementPosition(target)    
                    local distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D( px, py, pz, x, y, z )
                    if playerSelectedTarget ~= localPlayer and ( distance < 30 ) then --target distanc
                        playerSelectedTarget = target
                        local alpha = 255
                        setElementData(localPlayer, "Select", true)
                    end
                end    
            end
            if isElement(playerSelectedTarget) then        
                local Px,Py,Pz = getCameraMatrix( )
                local zhx,zhy,zhz = getPedBonePosition(playerSelectedTarget,3)
                local dist = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D ( Px, Py, Pz, zhx,zhy,zhz )
                if playerSelectedTarget ~= localPlayer and ( dist < 30 ) then --target distanc
                if ( isLineOfSightClear ( Px, Py, Pz, zhx,zhy,zhz, true, true, false, false, true, false, false, playerSelectedTarget ) ) then
                local sxx,syy = getScreenFromWorldPosition(zhx,zhy,zhz+0.3)
                if sxx and syy then                        
                 local size = 1300  / dist
                   dxDrawImage( sxx - ( size / 2 ), syy - ( size / 4.5 ), size, size, "Effect/Select.webp", 0, 0, 0, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, alpha ),false) 
                   end
                end
             end
            end
        else
            if isElement(playerSelectedTarget) then        
            local alpha = 0
            setElementData(localPlayer, "Select", false)
            end    
        end        
    end

Thank you very much, I am getting closer to what I am looking for.

but I have two problems...
 The first is that I add an animation to the script code, but when the link is played, the character appears completely static without any animation.

And the second is that when I use the bind while at height, the character goes to the opponent's position but while at height and not to the position on the ground.

Here I leave a video of the aforementioned errors so that it is easier to understand them.
