Does this work or not?

I'm trying to do it clientside but it always returns 0.

It's serverside only.

Thankfully with for (temp.var : players) -- you can emulate such.

Also:
GS2 Version -> findnearestplayer()

Methinks using a triggerserver and triggerclient or triggeraction back would just be easier than checking "in" distances.

Meknows you are terribly wrong.

Depends if you want client lag or server lag. It is pure opinion, really.

Triggering back and forth would lag more than going through players and finding the distance between this.x and the player's x, same for y. (Using the distance formula)

As I said, depends if you want client lag or server lag. It is pure opinion, really.
