getElementSyncer

[Drakath]

I quite often encounter desynced pedestrians. However today I checked them with getElementPosition and getElementSyncer and to my wonder, they had a syncer and position was correct but they were still invincible. I changed the syncer using setElementSyncer and then I was able to kill the ped.

So how come pedestrians are desynced even though they have a syncer?

Another problem is that I have a script which I put before spawning a ped so they don't spawn in radar areas:

for theKey, radar in ipairs(getElementsByType("radararea")) do 
if getElementData(radar, "noPeds") then 
if isInsideRadarArea ( radar, x, y ) then 
return end end end 

It kind of works. Normal peds don't spawn there but desynced do. Why does the spawn code get executed even though I wrote return in the script above?

Can anyone give me some tips on how to prevent desync?

I'm not sure if it's the game bug, or just the code flaw, but you could try reporting that at bugs.mtasa.com and see what developers can suggest or do.

Okay, also is it better to do the most controlling of a ped via server-side using setPedAnimation or via client-side using setPedControlState?
