PHP Code:

new ent = create_entity("info_target")
entity_set_origin(ent, origin)
... 


my question is that if spawn 5 or more ents when round start,how to make sure the distance between two ents is more than 500,if distance<500,then make a loop to find another origin to spawn till find a proper one.
thanks in advance.

You can use if (get_distance_f(origin1, origin2) < 500.0) and get a new origin, or some variation.

please show the full example.

Show your full code in getting the first original origin.

i tested the RuneMod plugin today, found that sometimes two or three runes spawned at a same location,so i thought this part of code is not that good.

PHP Code:

new EntNum = SpawnRune(RuneIndex,g_SpawnOrigin[SpawnPoint]) // We spawn the rune
    new LocStatus = CheckDistance(EntNum,SpawnPoint)     // We check the the Spawn location the rune was spawned at, and 
    
    if(LocStatus == 2)   // This means the newly spawned rune was to close to 1 of the other runes. We now try 5 random other locations to see if their free
    {
     new CPS=0   // Just incase, we will only check 5 diffrent spawn locations
     while( LocStatus == 2 && CPS < 5)
     {
      CPS++
      SpawnPoint = random_num(1,g_NumberOfSpawnPoints)
      LocStatus = CheckDistance(EntNum,SpawnPoint)
     }
     set_origin(EntNum,g_SpawnOrigin[SpawnPoint])
    } 


PHP Code:

stock CheckDistance(EntNum,IndexInSpawnArray)  // This stuck is used to check the distance between where a rune is spawned, and the other runes ingame. To make sure their not spawned to close together
{
 new Origin[3]
 for(new i=0;i<=MAX_RUNESINGAME;i++) if(g_RuneEntNum[i][0] && g_RuneEntNum[i][0] != EntNum)
 {
  get_origin(g_RuneEntNum[i][0],Origin)
  if(get_distance(Origin,g_SpawnOrigin[IndexInSpawnArray]) < MIN_DISTANCE_BETWEEN_RUNES)
  {
   return 2
  }
 }
 return 1
}

Change MIN_DISTANCE_BETWEEN_RUNES to 500.

Also, if there are runes at all 5 origins that are checked first, the plugin will not continue to check for an empty one.
