My taser does not work on a criminal
As a cop you shoot a player with the taser, but they are not stunned. The taser only works on moving players, and the same player cannot be tased again for 10 seconds.
Steps
The target must be moving
The taser only works on moving players. It does not work on a player who is standing still, or on a player who is walking and aiming.
