So the problem is. I go on duty i can see other police officers blips near me. then when they get in there car and go certain distance the blips disappear. I noticed its when that officer goes off my carhud.
i tried putting SetBlipAsShortRange to false btw and still did not work

this is the code i put together

-----------------blips
-- Create blip for colleagues
function createBlip(id)
	local ped = GetPlayerPed(id)
	local blip = GetBlipFromEntity(ped)

	if not DoesBlipExist(blip) then -- Add blip and create head display on player
		blip = AddBlipForEntity(ped)
		SetBlipSprite(blip, 1)
		SetBlipColour (blip, 67)
		ShowHeadingIndicatorOnBlip(blip, true) -- Player Blip indicator
		SetBlipRotation(blip, math.ceil(GetEntityHeading(ped))) -- update rotation
		SetBlipNameToPlayerName(blip, id) -- update blip name
		SetBlipScale(blip, 0.85) -- set scale
		SetBlipAsShortRange(blip, true)

		table.insert(blipsCops, blip) -- add blip to array so we can remove it later
	end
end

function createBlip2(id)
	local ped = GetPlayerPed(id)
	local blip = GetBlipFromEntity(ped)

	if not DoesBlipExist(blip) then -- Add blip and create head display on player
		blip = AddBlipForEntity(ped)
		SetBlipSprite(blip, 1)
		SetBlipColour (blip, 8)
		ShowHeadingIndicatorOnBlip(blip, true) -- Player Blip indicator
		SetBlipRotation(blip, math.ceil(GetEntityHeading(ped))) -- update rotation
		SetBlipNameToPlayerName(blip, id) -- update blip name
		SetBlipScale(blip, 0.85) -- set scale
		SetBlipAsShortRange(blip, true)

		table.insert(blipsCops, blip) -- add blip to array so we can remove it later
	end
end


RegisterNetEvent('dbfw-policejob:updateBlip')
AddEventHandler('dbfw-policejob:updateBlip', function()

	-- Refresh all blips
	for k, existingBlip in pairs(blipsCops) do
		RemoveBlip(existingBlip)
	end

	-- Clean the blip table
	blipsCops = {}

	-- Enable blip?
	if Config.MaxInService ~= -1 and not playerInService then
		return
	end

	if not Config.EnableJobBlip then
		return
	end

	-- Is the player a cop? In that case show all the blips for other cops
	if PlayerData.job and PlayerData.job.name == 'police' or PlayerData.job.name == 'ambulance' then
		DBFWCore.TriggerServerCallback('dbfw-society:getOnlinePlayers', function(players)
			for i=1, #players, 1 do
				if players[i].job.name == 'ambulance' then
					local id = GetPlayerFromServerId(players[i].source)
					if NetworkIsPlayerActive(id) and GetPlayerPed(id) ~= PlayerPedId() then
						createBlip2(id)
					end
				end
			end
		end)
	end

end)


RegisterNetEvent('dbfw-policejob:updateBlip')
AddEventHandler('dbfw-policejob:updateBlip', function()

	-- Refresh all blips
	for k, existingBlip in pairs(blipsCops) do
		RemoveBlip(existingBlip)
	end

	-- Clean the blip table
	blipsCops = {}

	-- Enable blip?
	if Config.MaxInService ~= -1 and not playerInService then
		return
	end

	if not Config.EnableJobBlip then
		return
	end

					if NetworkIsPlayerActive(id) and GetPlayerPed(id) ~= PlayerPedId() then
						createBlip2(id)
					end
				end
			end
		end)
	end

end)

bump please

When one client leaves the synchronous circle, the entity is lost, so the client can no longer see the other, so this synchronous server side must be resolved.
Here’s a pretty good resource:

so this addon will make it where the blips dont disappear basically?
