Detect Player is near to another player
 

Hi,
Is there a way to do this:

Player A is near to Player B > Do somethink
Player A is no longer near to Player B > Do somethink

You could do a multidimensional array:
bool plyNearAnother[MAXPLAYERS+1][MAXPLAYERS+1];
Then OnPlayerRunCmd store the m_vecOrigin of the client
then loop through the rest of the clients and compare the positions together using GetVectorDistance to get their distance.
If plyNearAnother[client][other] == true && distance > MaxDistance: // Player left the distance of the other.
If plyNearAnother[client][other] == false && distance <= MaxDistance: // Player is now close to the other player.

Do you still need help with this?

Maybe but i saw that you are banned then...
I wasn't working on that project xD

You might want to compare the distance as a power of 2, to avoid potentially doing (MAXPLAYERS+1)*(MAXPLAYERS+1)*10 square roots a second.

We don't need to care load of computations if set false to param3 of GetVectorDistance, i think.

Re: Detect Player is near to another player
 

GetVectorDistance' third parameter is ``squared``, if you set it to false, you'll need to square the number that you are comparing against (just once tho). This effectively cuts the number of square roots calculated to 0. That's exactly what I said on the previous post.

I never actually gave an code example of GetVectorDistance.
