Hi,

Is there a way to detect the km of feet or whatever distance a player moved?
I've been thinking about this but couldn't figure it out

#include <amxmodx>

new Start[33][3]
new Stop[33][3]

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin( "Distance Example", "1.0", "Wrecked" )
    
    register_clcmd( "say /start", "CmdGet" )
    register_clcmd( "say /stop", "CmdShow" )
}

public CmdGet( id )
{
    if( is_user_alive( id ) )
    {
        get_user_origin( id, Start[id] )
    }
}

public CmdShow( id )
{
    if( is_user_alive( id ) )
    {
        get_user_origin( id, Stop[id] )
        client_print( id, print_chat, "Distance: %d units", get_distance( Start[id], Stop[id] ) )
    }
    
    arrayset( Start[id], 0, sizeof Start[] )
    arrayset( Stop[id], 0, sizeof Stop[] )
}

I think he means more of a real distance, such as each unit walked in any direction.

Wrecked, technically that is the net displacement and not the distance "walked".

Wrecked's way is using a reference point, so infact its the distance you walked away from that point. That's quite interesting, im wondering how u could do that.

this might work :

PHP Code:

#define PLUGIN "New Plug-In"
#define VERSION "1.0"
#define AUTHOR "Grim"

new Walk[33]
new Float:OldOrigin[3]
new Float:DistWalked

public plugin_init() {
    register_plugin(PLUGIN, VERSION, AUTHOR)
    
    register_clcmd("say walk", "startwalk")
    register_clcmd("say stop", "stopwalk")
    RegisterHam(Ham_Player_PreThink, "player", "FwdPreThink")
}

public startwalk(id)
{
    Walk[id]++
    pev(id,pev_origin,OldOrigin)
}

public stopwalk(id)
{
    Walk[id]=0
    client_print(id,print_chat, "%d", floatround(DistWalked))
}

public FwdPreThink(id)
{
    if(Walk[id])
    {
        new Float:Origin[3]
        pev(id,pev_origin,Origin)
        
        DistWalked = get_distance_f(OldOrigin, Origin)
        
        pev(id,pev_origin,OldOrigin)
    }
}

Knowing drekes, I was thinking he only needed a way to get the distance and a small example, rather than me explain the entire thing to him. Sorry if that was too general, but the above method that I posted should lead him on the right track.

[Bugsy]

Just get origin of start pos and end pos then use get_distance. If you want to log literally every step walked then you will need more code. Explain further exactly what you want.

[drekes]

What i'm trying to achieve, is the distance travelled by a player, i'm working on a achievement plugin, and i wanted to add something like "Travelled x distance.", so it should check every step he makes. I was thinking about setting a task every seconds, but that won't be the best way to do it.

it's actually like Exolent[jNr] said, getting every unit, the direction doesn't matter.

And i'm gonna see if i can find some info about Prethink like in grimvh2's example.

Thanks.

EDIT: I don't really understand the info about Prethink in ham_const.inc, but if i use fakemeta and get the direction that he is walking, i can know when he is walking, and if i can get speed, like the speedometer code, i should be able to calculate the distance right?

Try this out:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <engine>
#include <hamsandwich>

new Origin[33][3]
new Distance[33]

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin( "Distance Example", "1.0", "Wrecked" )
    
    register_clcmd( "say /distance", "CmdDistance" )
    
    RegisterHam( Ham_Spawn, "player", "HamSpawnPost", 1 )
}

public client_connect( id )
{
    Distance[id] = 0
}

public client_PreThink( id )
{
    if( is_user_alive( id ) )
    {
        static OldOrigin[3]
        // xs_vec_copy( Origin[id], OldOrigin )
        for( new i = 0; i < 3; i++ ) OldOrigin[i] = Origin[id][i]
        get_user_origin( id, Origin[id] )
        
        Distance[id] += get_distance( Origin[id], OldOrigin )
    }
}

public HamSpawnPost( id )
{
    // prevent distance calculation from old origin to spawn point
    get_user_origin( id, Origin[id] )
}

public CmdDistance( id )
{
    client_print( id, print_chat, "Distance: %d units", Distance[id] )
}

Note: I would've used xs_vec_copy, but that only works with floats, apparently.

EDIT: Added Ham_Spawn registry. Tell me if that works or not. I don't know if that's called before any frames on the client or not.

Thanks guys, does someone know how many feet or meter 1 unit is? Or isn't this done in-game. Cause it would be fun to see how many miles or kilometer you travelled.
