Its my first post so i will say hello at thw begining.

Lets say i have list of positions on map (x, y, z and x2, y2, z2 - square). What i need to do to find if player is near to this area?

First of all, you need to find the entity's position.

for more info wait for someone else, I'm not sure so I don't wanna make you wrong.

Here is some slightly modified code I have used to do this:

PHP Code:

//Change this to the center point of the area checking for.
new Float:vec[3] = { 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 };

for (new i=1; i<=MAXPLAYERS; i++)
{
    //Skip dead and unconnected players
    if(!IsClientInGame(i) || !IsPlayerAlive(i)) continue;
    
    new Float:pos[3];
    GetClientEyePosition(i, pos);
    
    new Float:distance = GetVectorDistance(vec, pos);
    
    if(distance < 420.0)
    {
        PrintToServer("%N is within 420 units from %f,%f,%f", i, vec[0], vec[1], vec[2]);
    }
}

Technically you should use the absolute origin for this and not eye's position. You want to know how far "the feet have to get" and not the eyes.

...I'm too lazy to look up the specifics, but TR_TraceHull should be able to be used to find out if a player is within a certain distance.

from what I undestand, he have a list of areas and he wants to find the nearest. Am I right?
