Question about with (getplayer)

[Googi]

Is it possible to use with (getplayer) to get a player who has a certain distance from the current player?

Like this...

NPC Code:

---

while (oncar) {

  with (getplayer(playerx-1)){

  hurt 2;

  }

}

I presume you'd have to use testplayer to check the index of any nearby players, then use something similar to with(getplayer(#a(index))) to select the player for editing. But it should be possible, yes.

[Python523]

use with(players[index])
it can get any player in the level the script is run in

It can't be used to get a player who is has an x-co-ord of playerx+1 though XD

yes it can? it works like getplayer but with the index of a player in the level

Well for some reason I doubt this would work :-\

NPC Code:

---

with (players[i].x = playerx-1){

  hurt 2;

}

because you have a completelly wrong syntax? getplayer doesnt work like that either, just go through all the players using a for loop and make it so if their x is in a certain part, it continues with with the script

XD, I did get it, but it turns out that it doesn't do what I thought it would.

What about a way to execute a command when two players touch eachother.

googi, use testplayer (i think thats what it is called) to get the index.

format is testplayer(x,y)
it returns the index # of the player at those coordinates

Okay, but how do I find out the index number and put it into my script.

XD, for some reason I neglected to learn about indexs.

Any good tutorials about indexs?

Testplayer is a bad idea. And the plural for 'index' is 'indices'.

Okay, where can I learn about indices then?

Thanks

Okay, now I know what I'm doing (I hope XD)

But how do I get the index without using testplayer (Since you say it is a bad idea)

[Python523]

if you want to go through the players in a level, run a for loop
for(i=0;i<playerscount;i++){
with(players[i]){
//stuff
}
}

[Googi]

NPC Code:

---

for (i=0;i<playerscount;i++){ 

  with (players[playerx-1]){ 

     hurt 2;

  } 

} 

---

Once again I doubt that will work.

Try checking if the player is in the area you want him to be, then do the with, silly.

Kai said using testplayer was a bad idea though.
