Lua [TFS 0.3.6] What is the best way to check if player stand 1 square to you?

[waqmaz]

What is the best way to check if player stand next to you? It doesn't need to be head to head, just one square to you. I need it, because I've done a new spell in lua and that spell works in every range, and it is for a knight, so it should be in 0 range.
There are some functions:

getCreaturePosition(target)
getClosestFreeTile(cid, targetpos[, extended = false[, ignoreHouse = true]])

I am trying to check if cid x is +1 of target x using "getCreaturePosition(target)", but this way there is so much to do, lol.

    local myPos = getCreaturePosition(cid)
    local targetPos = getCreaturePosition(target)
        if
            myPos.x == targetPos.x+1 or
            myPos.x == targetPos.x-1 or
            myPos.y == targetPos.y+1 or
            myPos.y == targetPos.y-1
        then
            print('player 1 square to you')
        else
            print('not 1 suare to you!')
        end

For 0.3.6 you have getDistanceBetween(firstPosition, secondPosition)
Same square returns 0.
Edit: Sorry you want to make something for people who are 1 sqm from you without already have a target id?

No, I own target ID. I've edited my post, look on example.
So I need to do:

if getDistanceBetween(getCreaturePosition(cid), getCreaturePosition(target)) == 1 then

???

cool, it works, thank, men

 

[Ricardo Tavares]

local myPos = getCreaturePosition(cid)
  local targetPos = getCreaturePosition(target)
   if getDistanceBetween(myPos, targetPos) == 1 then
               print('player 1 square to you')
        else
            print('not 1 square to you!')
        end

target in front of player, unless player changes look direction

if doComparePositions(getCreaturePosition(target), getCreatureLookPosition(cid)) then

These 2 versions are the same, which is the fastest (I wonder):
1.

local myPos = getCreaturePosition(cid)
    local targetPos = getCreaturePosition(target)
        if
            myPos.x == targetPos.x+1 or
            myPos.x == targetPos.x-1 or
            myPos.y == targetPos.y+1 or
            myPos.y == targetPos.y-1
        then
            print('player 1 square to you')
        else
            print('not 1 suare to you!')
        end

2.

local myPos = getCreaturePosition(cid)
local targetPos = getCreaturePosition(target)
if getDistanceBetween(myPos, targetPos) == 1 then
     print('player 1 square to you')
else
     print('not 1 square to you!')
end

target in front of player, unless player changes look direction

if doComparePositions(getCreaturePosition(target), getCreatureLookPosition(cid)) then

There is not a "doComparePositions" function in 03.6. probably.

Don't worry you can add it if you deleted it

function doComparePositions(position, positionEx)
    return position.x == positionEx.x and position.y == positionEx.y and position.z == positionEx.z
end

function doComparePositions(position, positionEx)
    return position.x == positionEx.x and position.y == positionEx.y and position.z == positionEx.z
end

So sorry, it is in data/lib/032-position.lua.
I haven't noticed that before, thank, but R. Tavares is the one who has just really helped me. Do you maybe know how to check the execution time job ? I want to print seconds which were needed to execute these functions.
