Help with police

[xXMADEXx]

How can i make it, so that when a player gets hit that they follow the police officer when they get hit? Or, like how can i make it so that they have no control over they player, and the player follows the other player.

Why do you need to reinvent the wheel? Just use the old community script or see and learn how it's done there.

[DiSaMe]

If that means reinventing, then I spend a lot of time reinventing. There is one thing which can only exist as long as it's reinvented: originality.

I have made this script:

function arrest(weapon, _, _, _, _, _, hitElement) 
    local job = getElementData(source,"Job") 
    if (hitElement) and (getElementType(hitElement) == "player") and (weapon == 3) then 
        if (job=="Swat") or (job=="Military") or (job=="Police") or (job=="FBI") then 
            showCursor(hitElement, true) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerDamage",root,arrest) 
  

but it won't work, and nothing will show in debugscript...

Thanks, but what is the function to make the source follow the attacker?

It's not a function, you have to script it yourself and it's not an easy script if you want to do it properly.

K, i got this fixed, but i'm not sure what function to use to make the source follow the attacker.

function arrest ( attacker, weapon, bodypart, loss ) 
    local job = getTeamName(getPlayerTeam(attacker)) 
    local wanted = getPlayerWantedLevel(source) 
    if (source) and (getElementType(source) == "player") and (weapon == 3) then 
        if (job=="Swat") or (job=="Military") or (job=="Police") or (job=="FBI") then 
            if wanted > 0 then 
                showCursor(source, true) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerDamage",root,arrest)

There is no function for that, unless you make it yourself.

[xXMADEXx]

There is no function for that, unless you make it yourself.

Well, how can i make it?

[DiSaMe]

toggleControl 
setControlState 

If that doesn't make it clear for you, maybe I should also add these:

setPedRotation

[Baseplate]

If you want the ped to exactly walk into your steps at a distance, I would recommend this:

onClientRender/onClientPreRender/setTimer:

Let ped face towards you using https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/FindRotation (fill in your x,y and ped's x,y).

Get distance between you and the ped using getDistanceBetweenPoints3D. When distance < x (followdistance), use setPedControlState to make the ped running, if he isn't already running to you. When distance > x, use setPedControlState to stop the ped from running, if he is still running.

Ped will always be looking at you, when you are getting too far away, he will keep running to you until distance between you and him < x.

I already asked for help and Puma answered with this which helped me a lot.
