Question

[MysticalDragon]

temp.pIds = getnearestplayers(this.x, this.y, player.hp > 0);

does getnearestplayers grab a players community name as well. Because it seems like every time a Graal##### account enters the level they stop working, like there confused?

Use findnearestplayers instead.

PHP Code:

// Loops through list of players by distance (closest first)
for (temp.pl: findnearestplayers(this.x, this.y)) {
  echo(temp.pl.account);
}

ahh thank you it worked.

Well I thought it worked lol. It works better then before, now it grabs the player that's the furthest from the NPC.

Post your code.

[MysticalDragon]

function getTarget() {
temp.bestTarget = null;
temp.bestValue = 0;

for (temp.pl: findnearestplayers(this.x, this.y)) {
temp.pIds = temp.pl.account;
}
//temp.pIds = getnearestplayers(this.x, this.y, player.hp > 0);

for (temp.pId: pIds) {
temp.pl = players[pId];

temp.dx = pl.x - this.x;
temp.dy = pl.y - this.y;
//temp.distance = abs(dx) + abs(dy); // manhattan distance
temp.distance = (dx * dx + dy * dy) ^ 0.5; // Euclidean distance
//pl.chat = distance @ " " @ dx @ " " @ dy;
// Ensure the following are true:
// within maximum distance, in front of us, and not behind a wall

if (distance > this.maxdist) {
continue;
}

Here is the part of the code im having issues with.

Use PHP tags for code.

PHP Code:

function getTarget() {
  temp.bestTarget = null;
  temp.bestValue = 0;

  for (temp.pl: findnearestplayers(this.x, this.y)) {
    temp.pIds = temp.pl.account;
  }
  //temp.pIds = getnearestplayers(this.x, this.y, player.hp > 0);

  for (temp.pId: pIds) {
    temp.pl = players[pId];

    temp.dx = pl.x - this.x;
    temp.dy = pl.y - this.y;
    //temp.distance = abs(dx) + abs(dy); // manhattan distance
    temp.distance = (dx * dx + dy * dy) ^ 0.5; // Euclidean distance
    //pl.chat = distance @ " " @ dx @ " " @ dy;
    // Ensure the following are true: 
    // within maximum distance, in front of us, and not behind a wall

    if (distance > this.maxdist) {
      continue;
    } 


findAreaPlayers returns an array of players, therefore you want to do this in order to loop through them:

PHP Code:

function getTarget() {
  temp.bestTarget = null;
  temp.bestValue = 0;

  for (temp.pl: findnearestplayers(this.x, this.y)) {
    temp.dx = pl.x - this.x;
    temp.dy = pl.y - this.y;
    
    //temp.distance = abs(dx) + abs(dy); // manhattan distance
    temp.distance = (dx * dx + dy * dy) ^ 0.5; // Euclidean distance
    //pl.chat = distance @ " " @ dx @ " " @ dy;
    // Ensure the following are true: 
    // within maximum distance, in front of us, and not behind a wall

    if (distance > this.maxdist) {
      continue;
    } 


Not sure if you're using this in a player class or a monster or so, but if it's not working make sure you meant to use this.x and this.y.

Thank you so much Jerret and Chris it works like a charm.
REP + REP but unfortunately I can only do 1 every 24 hours.
