[REQ]Local Chat

[Baseplate]

Hey all I would like to have a local chat so please help me

[karlis]

  
chat_range=100 
  
function isPlayerInRangeOfPoint(player,x,y,z,range) 
   local px,py,pz=getElementPosition(player) 
   return ((x-px)^2+(y-py)^2+(z-pz)^2)^0.5<=range 
end 
  
function onChat(player,_,msg) 
  local px,py,pz=getElementPosition(player) 
  local nick=getPlayerName(player) 
  for _,v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
    if isPlayerInRangeOfPoint(v,px,py,pz,chat_range) then 
      outputChatBox("[local]"..nick..": #ffffff"..msg,v,30,30,200,true) 
    end 
  end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler("l",onChat) 
  

[Baseplate]

is it tested??

[Aibo]

  
-- code 
  

what about MTA's getDistanceBetweenPoints3D? https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Get ... enPoints3D

[karlis]

yep, would be same, but i doubt that its more efficient to call a function for simple math.

[Baseplate]

Karlis it dosen't work

[karlis]

errors?

you have to use /l text btw.

[Baseplate]

Can you make it a bind? I tought It was a bind so I pressed l wait

[karlis]

i don't know how to open chatbox with custom textbox

[Baseplate]

hmm it works fine but I want it binded

[karlis]

try

  
bindKey("L","chatbox: l") 
  

doubt it will work tough(thats just the syntax binds use for default chatbox inputs).

chat_range=100 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin",getRootElement(), 
function () 
bindKey(source,"L","down","chatbox","L") 
end) 
  
addEventHandler("onResourceStart",getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), 
function () 
for index, player in pairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
bindKey(player,"L","down","chatbox","L") 
  end 
end) 
  
function isPlayerInRangeOfPoint(player,x,y,z,range) 
   local px,py,pz=getElementPosition(player) 
   return ((x-px)^2+(y-py)^2+(z-pz)^2)^0.5<=range 
end 
  
function onChat(player,_,msg) 
  local px,py,pz=getElementPosition(player) 
  local nick=getPlayerName(player) 
  for _,v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
    if isPlayerInRangeOfPoint(v,px,py,pz,chat_range) then 
      outputChatBox("[local]"..nick..": #ffffff"..msg,v,30,30,200,true) 
    end 
  end 
end 
addCommandHandler("L",onChat) 

I think that should work.

Personnaly I create a colsphere, I send the message for every players in it, and then I destroy the colShape.

[karlis]

meh imo colsphere is a waste.

Try;

  
    chat_range=100 
      
    addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin",getRootElement(), 
    function () 
    bindKey(source,"L","down","chatbox","Local") 
    end) 
      
    addEventHandler("onResourceStart",getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), 
    function () 
    for index, player in pairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
    bindKey(player,"L","down","chatbox","Local") 
      end 
    end) 
      
    function isPlayerInRangeOfPoint(player,x,y,z,range) 
       local px,py,pz=getElementPosition(player) 
       return ((x-px)^2+(y-py)^2+(z-pz)^2)^0.5<=range 
    end 
      
    function onChat(player,_,...) 
      local args = { ... } 
      local message = "" 
      for _,arg in ipairs(args) do 
             if message == "" then 
                 message = arg 
             else 
                 message = message .. " " .. arg 
             end 
  
      local px,py,pz=getElementPosition(player) 
      local nick=getPlayerName(player) 
      for _,v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        if isPlayerInRangeOfPoint(v,px,py,pz,chat_range) then 
          outputChatBox("[LOCAL]"..nick..": #ffffff"..message,v,30,30,200,true) 
        end 
      end 
    end 
    addCommandHandler("Local",onChat)

I'll try it and I'll edit the post with the end

EDIT:Yeah Castillo it works fine thank you all

[karlis]

but try replace "chatbox" with "chatbox: local say", see if it works and does it change tile for the writing box.

[Castillo]

Karlis, if you do that the bind won't work at all.

[karlis]

ok, then the option bind syntax is a bit confusing
