testplayer() clientside

[Chompy]

When did testplayer() not work on other players clientside?
I can only recieve the index 0 (myself) using the command..

I am totally sure it did work on other players before..

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onMouseDown(button)
{
  if (temp.button == "left") {
    temp.j = testplayer(mousex, mousey);
    if (temp.j > -1)
      player.chat = "player found: " @ temp.j @ " at:" SPC players[temp.j].x SPC players[temp.j].y;
    else
      if (temp.j == -1)
        player.chat = "no target found";
  }
} 


This only works when I click myself..
And, testnpc() works fine on clientside, why's that..?

This may sound stupid but are there other players on the level?

Testplayer checks if they can be hit I believe. I found it didn't work if they were paused and possibly didn't work when they were in a non-pk level. Could try this

PHP Code:

function findmouseplayer()
{
  for (pl: players) 
  {
    if (pl.x in |mousex, mousex+2|)
    {
      if (pl.y in |mousey, mousey+2|)
      {
        temp.find.add(pl.account);
        //break if you only want 1
      }
    }
  }
  return temp.find;
}

Yeah. I had that problem on Era which was weird. Sometimes it didn't detect anyone, other times it did.
I just used this

PHP Code:

if (leftmousebutton)
  for (temp.foundPlayer: players)
    if (temp.foundPlayer.x in |mousex - 3, mousex + 3| && temp.foundPlayer.y in |mousey - 3, mousey + 3|)
    {
      cTARGET.text = temp.foundPlayer.account;   
      break;
    }

I've been told that testplayer() doesn't work in No-PK zones, so I can confirm that.

Hmm, that's why it doesn't work..
Well, I've been working on this name system, and then suddenly testPlayer() weren't working.. hmm

Well, I gotta use other methods to get it to working then :]

Thanks guys
