Roleplay commands and proximity

[Antoni]

How would you write a /me command, /do command, and an onPlayerText function that only lets people nearby hear you.

[Renkon]

use:

Colshapes

outputChatBox

cancel onPlayerChat mode ME.

and u need colShape to get the players that are around the player who makes it. An example can be found in:

onPlayerChat wiki page

Oh... I'm new to scripting I don't quite understand...

I am unsure of the /do command as I'm sure its an RP command, but I can help you with the /me command locally, I made this small script for my K@N Zombies server some time ago:

You may also use the function again:

function outputNearElement(message, element, red, green, blue, bool, chatRadius) 
    local posX, posY, posZ = getElementPosition(element) 
    local chatSphere = createColSphere(posX, posY, posZ, chatRadius) 
    local nearbyPlayers = getElementsWithinColShape(chatSphere, "player") 
    destroyElement(chatSphere) 
    for i, v in ipairs(nearbyPlayers) do 
        outputChatBox(message, v, red, green, blue, bool) 
    end 
end 
  
addEventHandler('onPlayerChat', getRootElement(), 
function(message, mType) 
    if mType == 1 then 
        cancelEvent() 
        outputNearElement('* '..getPlayerName(source):gsub('#%x%x%x%x%x%x', '')..' '..message, source, 255, 0, 255, true, 30) 
    end 
end )
