Chat Radius

[Hugos]

Hello. Tell me how to make a chat only in a certain radius? For example, 10 meters from the player who writes.

Hey,

You could use a loop of all players, get their positions and compare it to the player who uses the chat, if it is 10 meters away or less from the player then show the message.

Something like:

for i, v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do
	local x, y, z = getElementPosition(v)
	local x2, y2, z2 = getElementPosition(player) -- player represents the player who triggered the chat command.
	local distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(x, y, z, x2, y2, z2)
	if (distance <= 10) then
		outputChatBox("YOUR MESSAGE", v)
	end
end

Thanks!

You might use int loop version of it, if you're considered about performance.

local players = getElementsByType("player")
for i = 1, #players do
	local playerr = players[i]
	local x, y, z = getElementPosition(playerr)
	local x2, y2, z2 = getElementPosition(player) -- player represents the player who triggered the chat command.
	local distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(x, y, z, x2, y2, z2)
	if (distance <= 10) then
		outputChatBox("YOUR MESSAGE", playerr)
	end
end
