Detecting what type of ped I get from an array

[Fiskey111 788]

Hi guys!

I want to pull a specific ped from an array (like detect nearby cops or specific peds [like a s_m_y_cop_01]) but I'm not sure how to do that using rage or natives.  Any ideas/help?

Specifically, I'd like to include them so I can use them in my code later (like take a nearby cop and force him to do what I want).

Thanks!

Edit: Note the array I'm talking about is "Ped[] GetNearbyPeds()"

You should look up LINQ queries for c#.

Without LINQ you'd have to manually iterate through the array and conditionally select the desired ped. With LINQ you deal with streams so you can intelligently filter your list.

You can also convert your Ped array into a List<Ped>

You get the model of the ped by checking ped.Model when performing the LINQ query

List<Ped> PedsWithSpecificModel = (from x in Game.LocalPlayer.Character.GetNearbyPeds(16) where x.Model.Name.ToUpper() == "S_M_Y_COP_01" select x).ToList<Ped>();

Also make sure you have a using System.Linq; statement at the top (should be default).
