Teleport players in area

[kokokoko]

What i want it to do: When the creature Tormented Soul is killed, teleport all players in the area specified to the coordinates specified. I get no errors in the console.

Problem: The player(s) standing in that area does not get teleported.

  local config = {
    bossname = "Tormented Soul",
    globalStorage = 1000,
    setTo = 0
}

function onDeath(cid, corpse, killer)
    if config.bossname == getCreatureName(cid) then
        if getGlobalStorageValue(config.globalStorage) >= 1 then
            setGlobalStorageValue(config.globalStorage, 0)
        end    
    end
for x = 1010, 1013 do
	for y = 1173, 1177 do
		getPos = getThingfromPos({x=x, y=y, z=7})
		if isPlayer(getPos.uid) then
	doTeleportThing(getPos.uid, {x=1017, y=1175, z=8})
		end
	end
end
return TRUE
end

Thanks in advance,

Tr this one:

  local config = {
    bossname = "Tormented Soul",
    globalStorage = 1000,
    setTo = 0,
	toPos = {x=1013, y=1177, z=7},
	fromPos = {x=1010, y=1173, z=7}
}

function onDeath(cid, corpse, killer)
    if config.bossname == getCreatureName(cid) then
        if getGlobalStorageValue(config.globalStorage) >= 1 then
            setGlobalStorageValue(config.globalStorage, 0)
        end    
    end
local players = getPlayersOnline()
	for k, pid in ipairs(players) do
	local pos = getPlayerPosition(pid)
		if (isInArea(pos, config.fromPos, config.toPos) == TRUE) then
			doTeleportThing(pid, {x=1017, y=1175, z=8})
		end 
	end		
return TRUE
end

Yay! Thanks alot!!

One thing though, could you explain what this line does? I have never understood ipairs

for k, pid in ipairs(players) do

Haha that line as been very useful Pitufo, helped alot of requests. I don't really understand pairs well either, would love an explanation how they work, All I know is that function gets the cid of each online player.

Well, in "getPlayersOnline" is storaged in a table ({}) all the names online.
Example:

local table = {
[12] = {"Pitufo", "kokokoko", "Zonet"}
}

for n, names in ipairs(table) do

n = [12]
names = {"Pitufo", "kokokoko", "Zonet"}

In this case we are not using "n" since theres nothing stores in there just inside the {}.
So, "for" is a loop that will execute until it gets all the items from the table.

Well is something like that i really dont know how to explain it.

LUA Example:

local names = {"Zonet", "Pitufo"}
for k, names in ipairs(names) do
doPlayerSendCancel(getPlayerByName(names), "Hello user")
end

That will send a message to all of the table

oh nice, sorta get it.
