-- Pick a random player
myPlayer = getRandomPlayer ()
-- Retrieve the player's position and store it in the variables x, y and z
x,y,z = getEntityPosition ( myPlayer )
-- Create a radar blip at the player's position, with a 'cash' icon and only visible to the player
myBlip = createBlip ( x, y, z, 51, 0, 0, 0, 255, myPlayer )
