Hello! Could someone help me to finish this script, I fail do it doing it myself?

function onThink(cid, interval)

if (isInRange(getCreaturePosition(cid), config.ghleftarena.frompos, config.ghleftarena.topos)) then

	   if #players  < 1 then

			doRemoveCreature(monster)
		end
	end

end
return true
end

WATAFAKA!@?

to get monsters in range try with this but idk how to call it tho, gl:

function getCreatureInRange(type, fromPos, toPos, toGet, itemid)
local type1 = {
	["monster"] = isMonster
}
local tmp = {}
local type = type1[type]
	if not type then
		return false
	end
	local thing = nil
	for x = fromPos.x, toPos.x do
		for y = fromPos.y, toPos.y do
			for z = fromPos.z, toPos.z do
				for s = 1, 253 do
					local position = {x = x, y = y, z = z, stackpos = s}
					thing = getTileThingByPos(position)
					if(type(thing.uid) == true) then
						table.insert(tmp, thing.uid)
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
	if(toGet == "count") then
		return table.maxn(tmp)
	elseif(toGet == "name") then
		return tmp
	else
		print('[getCreatureInRange]>> Unknow creature to get')
		return false
	end
	return true
end

also wtf is function onThink(cid, interval) ?? lol

thx for the function, gona try to figure something out.

@onThink(cid, interval)
one of tfs developers told me to add "cid", but it didn't help anyways.

You cant use 'cid' in globalevent, so he probably meant to create creature event onThink, but this way all online players would 'think' ^^

here comes the smart one xDDD!

As far as I know 'boolean' is for 'true' or 'false', isn't it?

Then, why that error? !

So, it returns getCreaturePosition(cid) as a boolean value??

No, its returning "nil" because cid does not exist.

 

[richux]

anyways, it doesn't work without cid either.

 

[Ancores]

for _, cid in ipairs(getPlayersOnline()) do...?

 

[richux]

for _, cid in ipairs(getPlayersOnline()) do...?

lol, I need it to get player count in specific area.

 

[Ancores]

if (isInRange(getCreaturePosition(cid)

Ok, but still if you want to get a players position in a global event you have to use something like that.

 

[chojrak]

lol, I need it to get player count in specific area.

local players = {}

for x, cid in ipairs(getPlayersOnline()) do
	if(isInRage(cid, {x = , y = , z = })) then
		table.insert(players, cid)
	end
end

print(#players .." in event area.")
