    -- Retrieve ped elements streamed in
    for k, el in ipairs(getElementsByType('ped', root, true)) do
        repeat
            if (not isElementSyncer(el)) then

            end


            local pedX, pedY, pedZ = getElementPosition(el)
            local sX, sY, sD = getScreenFromWorldPosition(pedX, pedY, pedZ + 1.2)
            if (not sX) or (sD > 50) then
                -- Not on screen or too far away
                break
            end
