So, I've been modding Bully via LUA scripting for a while, and I stuttered while writing a code which isn't working properly on my game... I'm not an expert on lua modding, just an amateur trying to learn as many as possible for a future mod...
-- test peds for something dunno
main = function()
while not SystemIsReady() or AreaIsLoading() do

end

if IsButtonBeingPressed(1,0) then
CreateThread("FindForPedSum")
end
Wait(0)
until not Alive
end

local PedFound = false
local gAllPeds = {PedFindInAreaXYZ(0,0,0,9999999)}
table.remove(gAllPeds,gPlayer)
Wait(10)
RdPed = gAllPeds[math.random(1,table.getn(gAllPeds))]
repeat
if PedIsValid(RdPed) and PedFound == false then
PedFound = true
elseif not PedIsValid(RdPed) and PedFound == false then
TextPrintString("Ped Not Found!",3,2)
TerminateThread("F_ControlRandomPed")
break
end
Wait(0)
until PedFound == true
TextPrintString("Ped Found!",3,2)
end

so basically what I tried to do here, it's a code that will try to find for a ped in the area and return a "Ped Found" text if there's one or more spawned and "No Ped Found" if there are no peds spawned... and I tried to use PedFindInAreaXYZ() and inserting it in a table so that another variable can choose randomly from the table...
However I tried to remove gPlayer from the table by using table.remove (so that the variable will not choose player as an existing ped, pretty sure it's useless) but still, even though I'm in an area with no peds spawned, the game always returns "Ped Found", basically it never reaches the "elseif" statment which returns the "Ped Not Found!" text...
I'm pretty sure I made a mistake somewhere but I can't seem to find it, and if there's any lua expert that can offer to help me on how to fix and even optimize my code (if possible), I would be glad... thanks in advance!
