How to let a ped/cop/backup follow the game.localplayer?

GameFiber.StartNew(delegate
            {
                while (true)
                {
                    GameFiber.Yield();
                    ped.Tasks.GoStraightToPosition(Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Position, 3f, 0f, 0f, -1);
				}
			});

or FollowNavigationMesh()...depends on the situation

Do some experimenting with the functions already suggested above. It's all there.

You can't post here for every small problem you have and let others figure your issues out for you continuously.

If they're all grouping up, try to solve it by changing values / functions.

While I partially agree, I don't feel it's our place to put down someone looking for help.. It's why the forum exists (yes it was an API discussion forum but it's grown since the sub forum was created)

This is one of the only forums where people can get great help..the rage forum is dead. It's extremely overwhelming for new developers who never worked with c# before (or any type of coding)

With all of that said.. OP.. Here are some suggestions. They're quite short

1. When you're trying to figure out how to do something in the game look through the Rage api documentation.. Specifically the Entity, Object, Ped, Vector3 and Vehicle classes.. 9/10 what you're looking for is there

2. Experiment a little.. You won't destroy anything with wrong ideas.

3. Try to collect a few problems that you can't figure out and make a post

 

@ainesophaur Oh absolutely, I agree. I'm not trying to put anyone down.

However, I'm guessing you missed the edited post above my reply (which was complaining they were coming too close).

Seems like I encouraged him to try changing the numbers passed to the function instead of having us do it for him ^.^

No I definitely didn't so I apologize if it seemed I was jumping on you.. I wasn't. I just didn't want any of us to scare people away from seeking help.. The past few months have been amazing with plugins and you're one of the pioneers who is always helping out.. So again, sorry if it felt like I was targeting you over one post

One of the things thats making it harder for the newer guys is the forum's search being broken. There's so much gold on the oldest 3-4 pages of this forum, but it's buried deep. And sadly Cyan is aware of the search issue and cant do anything about it due to limitations in the forum software.

More on-topic though, and I'd suggest using ped.Tasks.GoToOffsetFromEntity(), it lets you define both the angle and distance from the target that your ped should go to. Its also worth noting that most of the GoTo/FollowTo stuff seems to force the ped on-foot, they'll abandon any vehicle they're in (I still haven't found a good way to get them to follow in a vehicle without attacking the vehicle).

I'm working on something that can fix that problem, Albo.

Actually.. TASK_VEHICLE_GOTO_NAVMESH seems to work well

I proposed it many times and repeat once more: there's nothing wrong in asking multiple questions but why not to do it in a SINGLE THREAD? When I was starting with IV I created a topic where all my question was, the API subforum wasn't spammed with 1-2 answer threads with meaningless titles.

If the titles of the posts were accurate then I don't see a problem with multiple posts while search doesn't work.. That way people can just glace over the titles instead of hoping a random thread with 20 questions has the answer they're looking for.

I wonder if the forums used have a Q&A plugin which would give a feel like stack overflow. Anyone know what type of forum software is in use?

stackexchange, http://stackexchange.com/ no way to really run a dedicated one though
