        local distance = #(playerCoords - markerPos)
        if distance < 100.00 then
            DrawMarker(2, markerPos.x, markerPos.y, markerPos.z + 2, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 180.0, 0.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 255, 128, 0, 50, false, true, 2, nil, nil, false)

Your line 4 says
while ped = GetPlayerPed(-1). Delete the while and you should be good to go.

Edit:
Your line 4 says while ped = GetPlayerPed(-1). You most likely wanted while to be local.

Thanks LaZy_Scripts, I really didn’t think that through before posting… :smiley:

it’s better :

local ped = GetPlayerPed(-1)

because it doesn’t need to describe a global variable to you

Use PlayerPedId() instead of GetPlayerPed(-1) as its faster.
