[HELP] Intersecting colshapes

[..:D&G:..]

So, I am trying to do a protection item for a survival server, and it should protect stuff inside a colshape surrounding it but how do I find out if the colshapes isn't intersecting with other ones near it?

Thanks.

Turn development mode on

then use /showcol

If that is what you are asking to see if they are intersecting.

I don't want to see for myself if 2 colshapes are colliding, I want the script to check, and if 1 colshape is in another it should say something like "You cannot place your protection here"...

From what I know it should be able to detect other colshapes.

Is there any way to detect if the colshape is hitting a colshape with a specific elementData? Because isElementWithinColShape requires a certain colshape at argument 2 and I want to avoid using ipairs to check all the colshapes from the server, so is there any other way?

local cols = getElementsWithinColShape ( colshape, "colshape" )  
for theKey,colshapes in ipairs(cols) do  
if getElementData ( colshapes , "datakey" ) == data jah want 
then 
outputDebugString("So and so col shape is in another colshape, oh focking no.")

I know all this already lol, I wanted to avoid using ipairs loops to find the colshape, but I guess I'll have to use it

Thanks for the help!

If you're afraid to use it due to lag, from my experience stuff like this won't cause any lag.
