[ STOCK/INC ] Find player in box

1 Attachment(s)

.: Find player in box :.

Hello, I've made this simple stock to find alive players in a imaginary box. Box color is white as default.

Usage:

Code:

/* Find player in box
 *
 * @param (float/vector) flVecBoxOrigin   Origin of the box at where will be created
 * @param (float) flBoxSize                        Size of the box
 * @param (int) iDisplayBox               Time in 0.1s that the box will be stay displayed (0 doesn't show)
 * @param (int) iIgnoredPlayer            Player index that won't will be checked (0 doesn't skip anyone)
 * 
 * @return (int)    First player found index, 0 if no one was  found.
 */
stock findPlayerInBox(const Float:flVecOrigin[3], Float:flBoxSize, iDisplayBox=0, iIgnoredPlayer=0)

There are several ways to customize this code, such as store all players in an array, get entities instead of players, get players on a specific team... but I'm lazy now, maybe later.

if (mins.x <= flVecPlayerMaxs[0]
&& mins.y <= flVecPlayerMaxs[1]
&& mins.z <= flVecPlayerMaxs[2]
&& maxs.x >= flVecPlayerMins[0]
&& maxs.y >= flVecPlayerMins[1]
&& maxs.z >= flVecPlayerMins[2])
return pPlayer;

How should this work?

Basically this intersects vectors. I've updated the code, since I did wrong in that part, more precisely like c++.

I know what it does. I pointed on your mistake about inexistent variables 'maxs' and 'mins' and also dot-notation.

What if the player is just touching the box? I mean half body inside, half outside of the box.

Check code for hull collisions on sdk to understand.

Re: [ STOCK/INC ] Find player in box

Code doesn't detect when player touch the box, instead check if player absmin/absmax is inside of the box mins/maxs. You can start a TE_BOX message based on player's vectors to see what I'm trying to explain.
