Check if player is entering a area/zone

Hi,

how can i check, if a player is entering a specific area/zone on the map?

Thanks

Re: Check if player is entering a area/zone

There are some props you can check on a client to see if they're in a zone...

Re: Check if player is entering a area/zone

Can you give me an example? If I have the x, y and z-coordinates i want to check if a players has entered this zone.

Re: Check if player is entering a area/zone

Are they zones in a map (like buy zones or bomb planting zones)? What game is this for?

Example: With CS:S (and possibly others) you can check the bool of m_bInBuyZone the player has... other games might have other similar netprops dealing with zones. There's also m_b_InBombZone, and m_bInHostageRescueZone...

Re: Check if player is entering a area/zone

The game is CS:S, but i want to check my own zone that i want to specify in the plugin, not the CSS-standard-zones like the buyzone, rescue-zone.

Check out how this plugin is coded: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=152898

Re: Check if player is entering a area/zone

I've already checked this plugin and also the Death Zone-Plugin, but i can't get it. :/ Isn't there any tutorial for this?

Re: Check if player is entering a area/zone

This is a function I use for a plugin I made. The logic is in there and the code is pretty short. It just checks if a player is between two opposite corners of a zone in all 3 axes

PHP Code:


		
			
bool:IsInsideZone(client, Float:point[8][3])
{
    new Float:playerPos[3];
    
    GetEntPropVector(client, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", playerPos);
    playerPos[2] += 5.0;
    
    for(new i=0; i<3; i++)
    {
        if(point[0][i]>=playerPos[i] == point[7][i]>=playerPos[i])
        {
            return false;
        }
    }

    return true;
}

Here is a function I use to draw a zone

PHP Code:


		
			
/*
* Graphically draws a zone
*    if client == 0, it draws it for all players in the game
*   if client index is between 0 and MaxClients+1, it draws for the specified client
*/
DrawZone(client, Float:array[8][3], beamsprite, halosprite, color[4], Float:life)
{
    for(new i=0, i2=3; i2>=0; i+=i2--)
    {
        for(new j=1; j<=7; j+=(j/2)+1)
        {
            if(j != 7-i)
            {
                TE_SetupBeamPoints(array[i], array[j], beamsprite, halosprite, 0, 0, life, 5.0, 5.0, 0, 0.0, color, 0);
                if(0 < client <= MaxClients)
                    TE_SendToClient(client, 0.0);
                else
                    TE_SendToAll(0.0);
            }
        }
    }
}

And here is one I use to generate all 8 zone points from just 2

PHP Code:


		
			
/*
* Generates all 8 points of a zone given just 2 of its points
*/
CreateZonePoints(Float:point[8][3])
{
    for(new i=1; i<7; i++)
    {
        for(new j=0; j<3; j++)
        {
            point[i][j] = point[((i >> (2-j)) & 1) * 7][j];
        }
    }
}

They are all pretty complicated and took a lot of effort to figure out and are a lot faster and shorter in code then pretty much every other public one that you will find

Re: Check if player is entering a area/zone

I ripped this method from cpmod, it is not my code.

This code uses a menu to setup coordinates for a zone and creates a sprite to outline the zone.
In the example code the zone will increment any clients hp who stands within it.

PS. I didn't proof read anything and this may contain code that isn't being used due to it being ripped to the point where my compiler was happy with it =p

Re: Check if player is entering a area/zone

Thanks blaacky! I don't understand the CreateZonePoints-function (generate 8 zone points from just 2), can you give me an example how to use this with only 2 zone points?
