Ped don't move

[Chlorek]

So, I am scripting bot creator and commands for him. I have problem becouse when I type /moveforward, ped don't move.

My script code:

  
function createBot() 
    local thePlayer = getLocalPlayer() 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition(thePlayer) 
    x = x + 1 
    y = y + 1 
    local destroyOldBot = getElementData(thePlayer, "botData") 
    destroyElement(destroyOldBot) 
    local pedBot = createPed(125, x, y, z) 
    setElementData(thePlayer, "botData", pedBot) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "createbot",createBot ) 
addCommandHandler ( "cb",createBot ) 
  
function onFootForward() 
    local  thisPlayer = getLocalPlayer() 
    outputChatBox("Bot is moving forward!", thisPlayer, 255, 255, 0) 
    local theBot = getElementData(thisPlayer, "botData") 
    setPedControlState(theBot, forwards, false) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "moveforward",onFootForward ) 
addCommandHandler ( "mf",onFootForward )

Is this code client side? because setPedControlState works only client side if i'm right.

Yea, it's on client side.

Because the setPedControlState function is a Client-only function

You have 2 choice :

1- Move your script client-side and it maybe works if you set the state to true and not false

or

2 - Stay in server-side and replace this line: ( recommended if you want that every players can see him )

setPedControlState(theBot, forwards, false) 

by this line:

setPedAnimation(theBot, "ped", "WALK_civi", -1, 1, 1, 0) 

Make your choice

Yea, it's on client side.

so try to set the state to true and not false and don't forget the "" like this:

setPedControlState(theBot, "forwards", true) 

[Chlorek]

O yeah, thanks Citizen. First code: "setPedControlState(theBot, forwards, false)" doesn't work. But secound works very well.

if you want to use the controle states- cteate ped serverside, and use the syncer client to move it
