Lua getSpectators function

[Dubler]

HI
maby somebody can tell me how to use getSpectators function on 2x1 and 2x2 positions?

 

[Diath]

getSpectator(center, range x, range y, multi floor)

Returns an array of creature IDs.

 

[Dubler]

i know that but i want set range x - 2 range y - 1, or x - 2 and y - 2 without center

Center: 0
Fields checked: x

With range x (2), y (2):
x x x x x
x x x x x
x x 0 x x
x x x x x
x x x x x

Range x (2), y(1)
x x x x x
x x 0 x x
x x x x x

Range x (1), y (1)
x x x
x 0 x
x x x

i know that... omg i want check:
xx
and
xx
xx
without center!

 

[Diath]

Then make yourself custom function omg!!!!111111

something like this perhaps? (Not tested)

function getSpectatorsWithoutCenter(pos1, pos2)
   local i = 1
   local table = {}
   for xx=pos1.x,pos2.x,1 do
      for yy=pos1.y,pos2.y,1 do
         for zz=pos1.z, pos2.z, 1 do
            local checkPos = {x = xx, y = yy, z = zz, stackpos = 253} --I think 253 is the correct stackpos for creatures,not 100% sure
            local thing = getThingFromPos(checkPos)
            if isPlayer(thing) then
               table[i] = thing
               i = i + 1
            end
         end
      end
   end
   return table
end

I would do in with: for _, pid in pairs(getPlayersOnline()) do
and then if getThingPos(pid).x >= YOUR_X and getThingPos(pid).x <= YOUR_X_END etc. (do that for y and z too)
because Scarlet Ayleid's will only get TOP creature (for stacks, and I dont like that)

I thought of that, but if a server has tons of players online, it would make the script very slow
Its a bad side effect, but the fastest way to do it..

@TC
Just use the already existing getSpectators function, its the fastest lol
If you want to make an odd shape, use multiple getSpectators
