ElementPosition - badArgument

[Kaylin]

if(message) 
    then 
        for playerKey, playerValue in ipairs(getAlivePlayers()) 
        do 
            local x1, y1, z1 = getElementPosition(thePlayer) -- badArgument here... WHY?! 
            local x2, y2, z2 = getElementPosition(playerKey) 
            if(getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2) <= 50) 
            then 
                outputChatBox("[uC]"..playerName..": "..message, playerKey, 25, 105, 25, true) -- nothing special, that I will have badargument here, too -.- 
            end 
        end 

My Problem are these badArguments...and I don't know how I can fix it...

try this,

  
if(message) 
    then 
        for playerKey, playerValue in ipairs(getAlivePlayers()) 
        do 
            local x1, y1, z1 = getElementPosition(playerValue) -- was a bad argument because you put wrong player arg 
            local x2, y2, z2 = getElementPosition(playerValue) 
            if(getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2) <= 50) 
            then 
                outputChatBox("[uC]"..playerName..": "..message, playerValue, 25, 105, 25, true) -- nothing special, that I will have badargument here, too -.- 
            end 
        end

I don't get badArgument anymore, but now I've got another Problem.

The Text is shown to all Players and not to those, who are in the range of 50.

Because these two lines do the same:

            local x1, y1, z1 = getElementPosition(playerValue) 
           local x2, y2, z2 = getElementPosition(playerValue) 

One of them should get the position of the player you're comparing to, so change the second playerValue to the correct player element

runs perfect now... Thanks for help...
