I got Error in this script

In this script no errors...whatever the ped don't even move forward and follows me.

Your code doesn't really make much sense.

[LiOneLMeSsIShoT]

Your code doesn't really make much sense.

why?

[LiOneLMeSsIShoT]

Your code doesn't really make much sense.

what's not giving sense in the script?

[Castillo]

Well, to begin with, you're using getElementData, but you're not defining it, which means you're getting it for nothing.

whatever when i remove it .. the ped don't even follow me or move forward too !!!!

[Chronic]

In this script no errors...whatever the ped don't even move forward and follows me.

setPedControlState (source, "forwards", true) 

source is not a ped.

[LiOneLMeSsIShoT]

setPedControlState (source, "forwards", true) 

source is not a ped.

yeah but the ped not defined in the client side..so ?

So... if it's not defined how do you expect it to work?

[LiOneLMeSsIShoT]

alright...should i createPed in clientside too? or what should i do ?

[LiOneLMeSsIShoT]

alright...should i createPed in clientside too? or what should i do ?

so help please?

[JR10]

Actually, source should be the ped since he's triggering the event with the ped as the sourceElement.

As for the code, it's totally messed up. You have the findRotation server-side which should be client-side. You need to use onClientRender, findRotation and set the control state.

Aha Worked man but it's possible to make them hit zombies near them by weapons or hands? and protect you if someone just shot you? please help me with that ! ! !

and makes them jump if they're stucked and run fast if they're away from you .. I'm sorry for this long things but i'm really need help with them and , THANKS A Lot man

So man ?

No man will help you with that. Your best option is to learn, you can take a look at the zombies resource.

Alright can you tell me how to defined a owner for the guard? like when i do /guard the guard be mine so i can edit things for him.

[JR10]

Use element data or tables. setElementData(thePlayer, 'guard', guard)

[LiOneLMeSsIShoT]

Use element data or tables. setElementData(thePlayer, 'guard', guard)

I'm sorry but still don't understand it's like this?:

I've made this for example and want to know something:

    function follow (thePlayer) 
        local x, y, z = getElementPosition(thePlayer)   
        local guard = createPed (240, x + 2, y, z + 1) 
        triggerClientEvent(thePlayer, 'moveGuard', guard) 
        setElementData (thePlayer,"guard", guard) 
     end 
    addCommandHandler ("guard", follow) 
  
function Example () 
    if not getElementData (source, "guard", guard) then 
    outputChatBox ("You have no Guard") 
    else 
    giveWeapon (guard, 30, 200) 
    end 
    addCommandHandler ("ArmGuard", Example 

so the gun will be added to all guards with the players and i need every guard with people that have own things, not all guards have the same things when player write /ArmGuard ...please can you help me with that?
