[HELP] Radius Checking

[Imposter]

Hello guys, i'm new to scripting in lua (just started a few weeks ago) and I need some help with radius's. Let me explain in more depth. Let say there is a player E and the other players are in a separate team, how would I warn player E if the other players are in a nearby radius of 10m? and if player E dies, how would i be able to give money only players in the 10m radius if they are in a specific team? Can somebody please help me out? I've been trying to do this for a week now with no luck.

You can create a colshape and attach it to the player, then get the players inside it.

createColTube 
attachElements

Thank you Solidsnake14, but i tried that and the game lags really hard when the player starts to move, would i use a timer to do this or is there a better method??

Oh i understand what you mean, what i did before was make a collision object and when the player moves, it removes the object and creates it again, thank you so much for your assisstance!!!!

onColShapeHit

onColShapeLeave

These events are used for when a element hits/leaves a collision shape.

I understand that, but when do i create the collision object? do i need to put it in a function?what handler do i use for the function? could i use onVehicleEnter?

here is what i have so far.

function createZone () 
    -- get the position of the source player 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition(source) 
    -- create a collision object around the player 
    local playerZone = createColTube ( x, y, z, 10.0, 100.0 ) 
    -- attach the marker to the player with a vertical offset of 0 units 
    attachElements ( playerZone, source, 0, 0, 0 ) 
    -- tell player that its done 
    outputChatBox("ITS DONE!!",source) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onVehicleEnter", getRootElement(), createZone ) 
  
function zoneEnter () 
outputChatBox("Incomplete", source) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", getRootElement(), zoneEnter ) 

it only seams to work when i make it a command handler

addCommandHandler ( "cz_cz", createZone ) 

instead of

addEventHandler ( "onVehicleEnter", getRootElement(), createZone ) 

HELP??
