How would I compare results in lua - lua

Question

DISCLAIMER: The title is bad but I dont know how else to word it
Issue: I am trying to compare entities in a FiveM script I am working on and tell if a player is close to a valid animal model and I cant get it to work and the only model being detected is the player its self
Current code:
local QBCore = exports['qb-core']:GetCoreObject()
local animals = GetGamePool('CPed')
local hasTool = false
local hasKnife =
QBCore.Functions.HasItem('Knife', function(result)
if result then
hasTool = true
hasKnife = true
end
end)
for k, v in pairs(animals) do
local animal = animals[k]
local animalModel = GetEntityModel(animal)
local animalHash = GetHashKey(animal)
local boar = GetHashKey('a_c_boar')
local deer = GetHashKey('a_c_deer')
local coyote = GetHashKey('a_c_coyote')
print("Deer: " .. deer .. "boar: " .. boar .. "coyote: " .. coyote)
if animalHash == boar or deer or coyote then
local entPos = GetEntityCoords(v)
local playerPos = GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId())
if #(entPos - playerPos) < 1.0 then
foundAnimal = v
print("Animal close by" .. animalHash)
break
end
else
print("No animals found")
end
end
Other things I have tried:
local QBCore = exports['qb-core']:GetCoreObject()
local animals = GetGamePool('CPed')
local validAnimals = {
["a_c_boar"] = true,
["a_c_coyote"] = true,
["a_c_crow"] = true,
["a_c_deer"] = true,
["a_c_mtlion"] = true,
["a_c_pig"] = true,
["a_c_rabbit_01"] = true,
}
local hasTool = false
local hasKnife =
QBCore.Functions.HasItem('Knife', function(result)
if result then
hasTool = true
hasKnife = true
end
end)
for k, v in pairs(animals) do
local animal = animals[k]
local animalModel = GetEntityModel(animal)
local animalModelName = GetEntityModel(animalModel)
if validAnimals[animalModelName] then
local entPos = GetEntityCoords(v)
local playerPos = GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId())
if #(entPos - playerPos) < 2.0 then
foundAnimal = v
print("Found animal" .. foundAnimal .. "!" .. "Model: " .. entModel)
break
end
end
local QBCore = exports['qb-core']:GetCoreObject()
Citizen.CreateThread(function ()
local animals = GetGamePool('CPed')
local validAnimals = {
["a_c_boar"] = true,
["a_c_coyote"] = true,
["a_c_crow"] = true,
["a_c_deer"] = true,
["a_c_mtlion"] = true,
["a_c_pig"] = true,
["a_c_rabbit_01"] = true,
}
local hasTool = false
local hasKnife =
QBCore.Functions.HasItem('Knife', function(result)
if result then
hasTool = true
hasKnife = true
end
end)
for k, v in pairs(animals) do
local entModel = GetEntityModel(v)
if validAnimals[entModel] then
local entPos = GetEntityCoords(v)
local playerPos = GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId())
if #(entPos - playerPos) < 2.0 then
foundAnimal = v
print("Found animal" .. foundAnimal .. "!" .. " " .. "Model: " .. entModel)
break
end
end)
Edit: I have tried a few other things aswell but i dont have those versions saved
Edit2: The current code the if statement seems like it doesnt even check anything its like all the code inside of it will run even if and the hashes dont match
Edit3: This also could be a distance calculation issue with the vector3 im not sure tho
