mouse clicky player

[[email protected]]

function onMouseDown(temp.click) {
  if (!player.guild.starts("Events Team")) return false;
  if (click != "left") return false;
  
  temp.playera = players[testplayer(mousex, mousey)];
  if (playera.account != null) 
    player.chat = "selected" SPC playera.account;
}

pretty cool and simple code, thought i'd share !!!
just click a player with an "events team" tag, and it'll find out who they are! good for event thingys

Simplicity. I like it.

I think testplayer is the function that only returns an account if the player is able to be hit by default weapons i.e. won't work in no-pk zones or when the player is paused. I do something like this

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onMouseDown(mode) 
{
  if (player.guild.starts("Events")) return;
  if (mode != "left") return;

  temp.pl = grabPlayer();
  if (!pl.account)
    player.chat = "No players found!";
  else
    player.chat = format("Grabbed %s!",pl.account);
}

function grabPlayer()
{
  for (p : players)
  {
    if (mousex in |p.x +0.3, p.x + 2.5|)
    {
      if (mousey in |p.y, p.y+2.6|)
        return p;
    }
  }
  return false;
} 


Can't test it (at work) but it should be right...or close. You could expand that by adding all players within the area into an array and returning that. If the array has more than one person, you could create a quick gui popup control to display the users then click the one you wish to grab.

I've usually done things such as say

:get

and click a player.

testplayer returns the playerindex # of a player (if there is one) at the given (x,y)

Clientside it only returns other players when the level is a pk zone. Somewhat annoying

It also only returns the player index if they're unpaused.

Kinda sucky but it is only meant for hit detection in the end. You will have to make your own using a loop of players array
