Read the forum rules. Don't ask for full scripts.

I'm assuming this is for an event type of thing?

All I can say is... learn the basics of scripting, and the correct syntax, and then try. It'll be easier then you would image.


Look into:
playertouchsme
for loops
playerx, playery
with
getplayer

And try figureing it out yourself.

He wasnt asking for the script, I don't think... 'cause he said "HOW do I make this".

getplayer wouldn't really be needed for this.
playertouchsme
for()
with()
playerx/y
players[index]

What kind of message?

some people do getplayer(#a(index))
instead ofplayers[index]

Hence the "wouldn't really be needed"

I can say the same for your command. o.o

Which? The only thing he recommended that wasn't on your list was players[], which isn't a command and is the simplest, most efficient approach to the situation.

hmm...could be true or couldn't be true, either way the serverside NPC still has to load the player's attribs and make them writeable, I guess it really depends on if it was coded the same way or not, and depends on is the index is converted into an account or not (which is unlikely but yea)

Ah, I thought he might have meant something like sendpm.

Assuming it doesn't have them loaded at all times. getplayer has to search through every player on the server. Using player[] just skips that step.

Well, I'm assuming there is some 'list' of all the players online, getplayer pulls the players row (as in from a MySQL db) out of that list, which contains all his attribs. Using players[] probably does the same but level based instead of searching through all the accounts, since you can't access all the player's attribs without using a with function thing, get what I'm saying? I could be wrong about my opinion on what it does, if your opinion is different please tell yours

Yes, but it can't just magically grab that element. It needs to search for it based on string comparisons.

There's no searching at all in such a case; the player[] structure is specified explicitly.
