I'll post what I have tried after I come back from work.

First: A circle is 2D. A cylinder is 3D.
Maybe you're trying to know if a player is inside a
sphere.
If that's so, the formula to know if something is inside that sphere is this one: (x - SphereCenterX)^2 + (y - SphereCenterY)^2 + (z - SphereCenterZ)^2 < Radius^2
If it's a circle, then it's: (x - CircleCenterX)^2 + (y - CircleCenterY)^2 < Radius^2
P.S: The only thing you got wrong in your formula was the radius that wasn't square rooted.
P.S.S: Of course, because Goldsource is a 3D game engine, your circle you create has a Z origin, so you should use the first formula in my comment.
