Lua Help

I'm creating a gamemode, and I need a function that checks the distance between a player from team 5 and player from team 1.
If the distance is more than 256, freeze the player on team 5, otherwise unfreeze.
I've been struggling to get this working, any help would be appreciated.

ok, tried a bit and i couldn't get it to work, here's my code:

function HostageFreeze( ply )
    local hostage = team.GetPlayers(5)
    local ct = team.GetPlayers(1)
    if hostage:GetPos():Distance(ct:GetPos()) > 256 then
        hostage:Freeze(true)
    else
        hostage:Freeze(false)
    end
end
timer.Create("HostageFreezing", 0.1, 0, HostageFreeze)

I'm assuming that you always have one hostage and want to freeze him if none of the players on the other team are in range.

function FreezeHostage(hostage)
    if not IsValid(hostage) then return end

    local hostage_pos = hostage:GetPos()
    local ct_players = team.GetPlayers(1)
    for _, ct_player in pairs(ct_players) do
        if not IsValid(ct_player) then continue end

        local ct_player_pos = ct_player_pos:GetPos()
        if hostage_pos:Distance(ct_player_pos) < 256 then hostage:Freeze(true) return end
    end
    hostage:Freeze(false)
end

I have one or more hostages at a time.

also, a new problem has showed up, player spawns are all wrong ( cts spawn wherever they want, terrorists spawn outside the map).

here's my cl_init.lua, init.lua and shared.lua code: [Lua] Gamemode
