How do I filter only player props in E2?

[Nikzilla]

Hey.

I have an E2 for finding entity's that I want but I've been trying to figure out how to filter the search so I only get players and player owned entity's. I had an idea where I would get the names of all the players and then just findInclude in a loop but I cant seem to find the function to get player names.

Help?

You want to save props to an array, then loop through, checking Array[I,entity]:owner(). If existant, push to a second array (Array2:pushEntity(Array[I,entity])

[Nikzilla]

Doesn't that just check if each prop has a valid owner? And I would have to write a manual sort by distance.

owner():name()

Return's the player's name as a string. However, in that aforementioned for loop you could just check if Prop:owner() = Player, assuming Player is a player entity.

ok so let me get this right.

I have an index of entiys that I found already. Now what I believe should be done is:

E = findResult(Index)
if(E:owner():isPlayer()) {Name = E:name()}
elseif(E:owner():isPlayer()) {Index=Index+1}

EDIT: Put that in a loop. I forgot.

while(E:owner():isPlayer()==0)
{
E = findResult(Index)
if(E:owner():isPlayer()) {Name = E:name()}
elseif(E:owner():isPlayer()) {Index=Index+1}
}

Uh, in a timer, yes.

I can't comprehend this without seeing it in E2. :v:

ok Ill show you the E2 (from memory)

@inputs Hold Find
@outputs Vec:vector

if(Hold) {Lock=1}
elseif(Find) {Lock=0}
if(Lock==0)
{
findExcludePlayer(owner())
findExcludePlayerProps(owner())
Found = findInCone(entity():pos(), owner():aimPos(), 999999999999, 20)
E = findClosest(entity():pos())
}
elseif(Lock)
{
Vec = E:pos()
}

and I will include the new code:

@inputs Hold Find
@outputs Vec:vector Name:string

if(Hold) {Lock=1}
elseif(Find) {Lock=0}

if(Lock==0)
{
findExcludePlayer(owner())
findExcludePlayerProps(owner())
Found = findInCone(entity():pos(), owner():aimPos(), 999999999999, 20)
findSortByDistance(entity():pos())

if(Found>=) {
Index=1
Is=0
while(E:owner():isPlayer()==0)
{
E = findResult(Index)
Is = E:owner():isPlayer()
if(Is) {Name = E:name()}
elseif(Is==0)) {Index=Index+1}
}
}
}
elseif(Lock)
{
Vec = E:pos()
}

ok I just added include phys_props and now its totaly fucked:

@inputs Hold Find
@outputs Vec:vector Name:string

if(Hold) {Lock=1}
elseif(Find) {Lock=0}

if(Lock==0)
{
findExcludePlayer(owner())
findExcludePlayerProps(owner())
findIncludeClass("phys_props")
Found = findInCone(entity():pos(), owner():aimPos(), 999999999999, 20)
findSortByDistance(entity():pos())

if(Found>=) {
Index=1
Is=0
while(E:owner():isPlayer()==0)
{
E = findResult(Index)
Is = E:owner():isPlayer()
if(Is) {Name = E:name()}
elseif(Is==0)) {Index=Index+1}
}
}
}
elseif(Lock)
{
Vec = E:pos()
}
