Find in sphere

How do i check if a player entity is in a radius using the [url]https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/ents/FindInSphere[/url]

and then i run a function if there is a player in that radius

I think he just wants to find out if there is a player in general, not a particular player.

For loop through the ents in sphere, check each class to see if they are a player. If you're running a function on a player, call it directly. Otherwise call your function and break from the for loop

Example:

for _,ent in pairs( ents.FindInSphere( ... ) ) do
     if ent:IsPlayer() then
          RUN FUNCTION
          break
     end
end

That's a horrible example. What you should do is use player.GetAll() and do distance checks against each player, it is way more efficient than looping through every entity on the server and doing shit afterwards.

He wants to use FindInSphere though :cry:

And how does this prevent you from suggesting a better way of doing things?

Hey man if it does anything to the performance of server, / fps / ping i would love if you could give me an example using player.GetAll()? Thanks!
