Player level/gmap in clientside allplayers loop

[Crow]

I'm trying to find out the level/gmap name of other players looping through allplayers on the clientside. Doesn't seem to work. obj.level.name and obj.gmap.name always return nothing. Any advice?

[Toxen]

for(a: allplayers) {
urvariable = a.level;
}

should work fine?

[Crow]

It'd be:

PHP Code:

for (temp.pl: allplayers)
  echo(pl.level.name); 


But no, it doesn't work.

try using players instead of allplayers,

PHP Code:

for (temp.pl: players) 
  echo(pl.level.name); 


i dont got access to graal ATM to test.

Not what I'm going for, but thanks anyway. I'm forced to use allplayers in this specific situation. I just want to know if I've missed anything that helps in this case. If there's nothing, I'll create a workaround using player attributes.

I don't think you'll be able to read player attributes, either. You only load information from players in the same level, iirc.

There's a server option list thingy where you can add all attributes you want to have synchronized for all players whether they are in your level or not.

Yeah, the problem is that player information isn't sent to you after they are more than 1 level away I think. This area can be altered with some recently added server options, but it isn't really a solution here since making the area too large would lag everything down.

The only solution, as far as I know, is the attribute/server option thing that you mentioned.

Any chance you could share what you're trying to accomplish?

[DustyPorViva]

Player info is sent, it's just updated less frequently(only when the player changes level). However, it's just certain information.

[Tigairius]

Use player.levelname instead of player.level.name because levelname is sent to all players.

[WhiteDragon]

Personally, I encountered a problem like this when making a minimap, because you won't have the exact player coordinates after they move far away enough. My solution was just to fade players out after they are far away enough, but I think we're going to change it soon.

Note that this only works on v6.

And we have a winner I fade on the minimap, but my minimap is, at the same time, my large map. And I don't want to fade on the large map.

I'm pretty new to scripting, and this might be a terrible idea but can't you do this.
Add this to allplayers

PHP Code:

function onActionServerSide() {
  clientr.level == player.level.name;
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerEnters() {
  triggerserver( "gui", this.name);
} 


And for the allplayers level thing

PHP Code:

for (temp.p : allplayers) {
  echo(p.clientr.level);
}
