MP Execute script only for players within a certain distance.

[Mr H. 402]

Hi! So here's my problem:

I want a script to execute only for players within hearing distance of a NPC
The script will be executed from another script, the latter being launched from an addaction.
I want the script to execute only on the machines of players nearby but obviously can't use a trigger area to count them.
How should I go about it?

[Mr H. 402]

_list = anastasia nearEntities ["Man", 10];
{0= [] execVM "fnc\dialogue1.sqf";} forEach _list;

this doesn't work

That's how you execute the script on all clients in MP:

{[] execVM "fnc\dialogue1.sqf"} remoteExec ["bis_fnc_call",0];

And then you put this at the top of your script:

if ( (player distance anastasia) > 10 ) exitWith {};

That way the script will be executed on ALL machines, but everything after the exitWith {}; will only be executed by the machines of players who are less than 10 meters in distance to anastasia.

[Mr H. 402]

I will try that immediatly thanks!

 

[Mr H. 402]

It works perfectly thanks! + It's a very clever way to do it, I wouldn't have thought of it myself!

<arguments> remoteExec ['tag_fnc_myFunction',(allPlayers select {((_x distance <center_position>) <= <radius>)})];

How would this work for an OOG file on a trigger? I have the player base split and only want the players near the guy to hear the OOG "Incoming"

Use say3D or playSound3D, you can specify max distance at which the sound can be heard.
