Help - setElementPosition (legalsystem)

[xXMADEXx]

Hey everyone! I got the legalsystem to work, but now i am editing the way it arrests and the distance stuff. I am trying to make the prisoner warp to the cop, but when the prisoner warps, he will not move at all. I am not sure how to fix this problem. Thanks

--FORCES A PRISONER TO FOLLOW THE COP 
function walktheprisoner(thecop, theprisoner) 
    if (getElementData ( theprisoner, "currentstatus" ) == "underarrest") and (getPedOccupiedVehicle ( theprisoner ) == false ) then 
        local copx, copy, copz = getElementPosition ( thecop ) 
        local prisonerx, prisonery, prisonerz = getElementPosition ( theprisoner ) 
        copangle = ( 360 - math.deg ( math.atan2 ( ( copx - prisonerx ), ( copy - prisonery ) ) ) ) % 360 
        setPedRotation ( theprisoner, copangle ) 
        setCameraTarget ( theprisoner, theprisoner ) 
        local dist = getDistanceBetweenPoints2D ( copx, copy, prisonerx, prisonery ) 
        if ( dist > 16 ) then 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "sprint", false ) 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "walk", false ) 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "forwards", false ) 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "jump", false ) 
            setElementPosition(theprisoner, copx, copy+0.5, copz+1) 
            setPedRotation ( theprisoner, copangle ) 
        elseif ( dist > 12 ) then 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "sprint", true ) 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "walk", false ) 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "forwards", true ) 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "jump", false ) 
            local zombify = setTimer ( walktheprisoner, 500, 1, thecop, theprisoner ) 
        elseif ( dist > 6 ) then 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "sprint", false ) 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "walk", false ) 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "forwards", true ) 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "jump", false ) 
            local zombify = setTimer ( walktheprisoner, 500, 1, thecop, theprisoner ) 
        elseif ( dist > 1.5 ) then 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "sprint", false ) 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "walk", true ) 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "forwards", true ) 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "jump", false ) 
            local zombify = setTimer ( walktheprisoner, 500, 1, thecop, theprisoner ) 
        elseif ( dist < 1.5 ) then 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "sprint", false ) 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "walk", false ) 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "forwards", false ) 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "jump", false ) 
            local zombify = setTimer ( walktheprisoner, 500, 1, thecop, theprisoner ) 
        end 
    end 
end 

Then, when i do this, he does nothing but run forward. Dosn't rotate.

  
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "sprint", false) 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "walk", true) 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "forwards", false ) 
            setControlState ( theprisoner, "jump", false )

Any errors?

No errors show in debugscript...

That's because you forgot to put the timer below setElementPosition.

local zombify = setTimer ( walktheprisoner, 500, 1, thecop, theprisoner )
