Nearby Peds (lua)

Hi,

I’ve resorted to posting this because I have no idea how to get around this, it seems that the natives surrounding this just don’t work. (I’ve tried the GetRandomPedAtCoord with a small radius too, that doesn’t work)

So as of now, this is my code:

function getAllPeds()
  local peds = {}
  local handle,ped = FindFirstPed()
  if handle ~= -1 then
    local handle, ped = FindFirstPed()
    local success
    repeat
      table.insert(peds,#peds+1,ped)
      print('adding '..ped..' to table')
      success, ped = FindNextPed(handle)
    until not success
    EndFindPed(handle)
  end
  return peds
end

But the only output is “adding 258 to table”, it doesn’t actually get any other peds, so I’m presuming 258 is my ped, but I don’t want that - I want the AI.

Does anyone know how to do this?

here’s something i use with this ^

function GetNearbyPeds(X, Y, Z, Radius)
	local NearbyPeds = {}
	if tonumber(X) and tonumber(Y) and tonumber(Z) then
		if tonumber(Radius) then
			for Ped in EnumeratePeds() do
				if DoesEntityExist(Ped) then
					local PedPosition = GetEntityCoords(Ped, false)
					if Vdist(X, Y, Z, PedPosition.x, PedPosition.y, PedPosition.z) <= Radius then
						table.insert(NearbyPeds, Ped)
					end
				end
			end
		else
			Log.Warn("GetNearbyPeds was given an invalid radius!")
		end
	else
		Log.Warn("GetNearbyPeds was given invalid coordinates!")
	end
	return NearbyPeds
end
