Lua player:getTarget() Issue

[Lava Titan]

hey I'm trying to create a custom function that sets player direction depending on target pos but something is wrong, I guess I'm trying to use methods that aint compatible? XD

function getTargetSqm()
    local player = Player(cid)
    local pos = player:getPosition()
    local target = player:getTarget()
    local target_pos = target:getPosition()

    if target_pos == Position(pos.x-1, pos.y-1, pos.z) or target_pos == Position(pos.x, pos.y-1, pos.z) or target_pos == Position(pos.x+1, pos.y-1, pos.z) then
        player:setDirection(DIRECTION_NORTH)
    elseif target_pos == Position(pos.x-1, pos.y+1, pos.z) or target_pos == Position(pos.x, pos.y+1, pos.z) or target_pos == Position(pos.x+1, pos.y+1, pos.z) then
        player:setDirection(DIRECTION_SOUTH)
    elseif target_pos == Position(pos.x-1, pos.y, pos.z) then
        player:setDirection(DIRECTION_WEST)
    elseif target_pos == Position(pos.x+1, pos.y, pos.z) then
        player:setDirection(DIRECTION_EAST)
    end
return true
end

Nothing is being passed into your function.

Something like this should work. I'm sure you can figure out the rest.

That won't help him much when the script errors because the player doesn't exist :3
