if isInRange or Area

[Adix910]

Hello, how to use if isInRange or Area on lua e.g select left top corner and right bottom corner?

 

[ruth]

function isInArea(pos, fromPos, toPos)
    if pos.x >= fromPos.x and pos.x <= toPos.x then
        if pos.y >= fromPos.y and pos.y <= toPos.y then
            if pos.z >= fromPos.z and pos.z <= toPos.z then
                return true
            end
        end
    end
    return false
end

How use this function in function onThink(interval, lastExecution)?

We would need to know what you are trying to do.

I want so that if the condition is fulfilled, it will display a message once.

function onThink(interval, lastExecution)
for _, name in ipairs(getOnlinePlayers()) do
local cid = getPlayerByName(name)
if(isInRange(getThingPos(cid), config.fromPos, config.toPos)) then
doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, 19, "You today mission is: XXX")

<globalevent name="message" interval="2000" event="script" value="messages.lua"/>

put the function ruth posted in one of your libs if you don't have it yet

local area = {
    tl = {x = 32364, y = 32187, z = 7},
    br = {x = 32369, y = 32190, z = 7}
}

function onThink(interval, lastExecution)
    for _, cid in pairs(getPlayersOnline()) do
        if isInArea(getPlayerPosition(cid), area.tl, area.br) then
            doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_EVENT_ORANGE, "You today mission is: XXX")
        end
    end
    return true
end

22:45 You today mission is: XXX
22:45 You today mission is: XXX

Because that is the interval you have set.
The code above was to show you how to use the function you were asking about.

If you want something different to happen, you'll want to add more code. xP

For example,
This edit would show the message to each player only once per server save.

local area = {
    tl = {x = 32364, y = 32187, z = 7},
    br = {x = 32369, y = 32190, z = 7}
}

local received_message = {}
function onThink(interval, lastExecution)
    for _, cid in pairs(getPlayersOnline()) do
        if not received_message[cid] then
            if isInArea(getPlayerPosition(cid), area.tl, area.br) then
                doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_EVENT_ORANGE, "You today mission is: XXX")
                received_message[cid] = 1
            end
        end
    end
    return true
end
