Returning players clientside

[devilsknite1]

PHP Code:

for ( temp.i : players ) {
  echo( temp.i );
} 


This is only returning one player in the same level on the clientside, and I want it to return all of the players in the level; or in the players[] array case, 3x3 levels, which is also fine.

PHP Code:

for ( temp.pl : allplayers ) { //This will get you all the current players on the server.
  if (temp.pl.level.name != player.level.name) { //And this will filter out the players that aren't in your level.
    continue;
  }

  echo( temp.pl );
}

Doesn't work, I've tried this method. It also isn't what I'm wanting to go for. I want to create a custom hit detection system.

Sorry, I was making some changes.

No dice :s

If it makes a difference, I'm trying to do this on a gmap, so that may cause some problems. Just in case that changes anything that I'm not catching

EDIT: tried it in a singular level. No luck there either

You shouldn't need allplayers.

Try:

PHP Code:

for (temp.pl : players) {
  echo(temp.pl.account);
} 


Alternatively just try this:

echo(players.size()); and see if it's actually just returning 1. I don't remember if players returns objects or id's.

Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't sure what you were looking for at first.. Try this.

PHP Code:

for (temp.pl: findNearestPlayers(this.x, this.y)) {
  echo(temp.pl);
} 


That should help, you'll need distance checks though.

Actually ya, I think this may be what he wants. He shouldn't need distance checks if he's looking for all players in the level as this is what I think findNearestPlayers() returns(all loaded players).

[Tim_Rocks]

He said he was making a hit detection system, and in order to do that, he'll need distance checks so it only registers attacks from players within 1-2 tiles.

players returns an object, and the size is always outputting 1, no matter how many players are in the level.

Not having any luck with this, it's still only returning one player in the level. I'm doing it through a weapon NPC, so I switched it to what I'm using. Now, I can change where it detects the nearest player(s), but it still only returns one player
I mean that method can work just fine and is probably what I'll end up doing, but I'm trying to figure out why all of the players in the level aren't being returned o_o

[Tim_Rocks]

PHP Code:

for (temp.pl: findNearestPlayers(player.x, player.y)) { //It was this.x, this.y
  echo(temp.pl);
} 


There ya go, don't forget to check F2 to see the echo's; it's not going to appear on RC.

[devilsknite1]

I really don't think you're reading what I'm writing...
I'm well aware where echo() will output. I'm just wondering why I can't return all of the players in a level.

[Tim_Rocks]

I just logged in player to test it; it's working. Sorry didn't realize you fixed my typo. That's what I'm working with, it's hard for me to help if you don't provide code for us to look at.

PHP Code:

findplayer("Tim_Rocks").addweapon(this.name);

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerChats() {
  if (player.chat == ":hiqtpi") {
    
    for (temp.pl : findNearestPlayers(player.x, player.y)) { 
      echo(temp.pl); 
    }  
    
    player.chat = "worked?";
  }
} 


Edit: I'm not even exactly sure why your original code isn't work; It should return everyone on the gmap.

[devilsknite1]

Errrrr I was being dumb
I was drawing a circle around all of the players and it was only showing on one, so instead of looking at how I wasn't indexing the image, I deduced that the returning players wasn't working. OOPS
Thanks for the help though guys, sorry about that

FWIW, I've actually experienced a bug like the one you initially reported in the past:

It was actually empty, though.
