Check if player is in an area..

[RazMouze]

Sorry if this post is not that exact. (Type if you wan't more explaining)

Okay, i wanna check if someone is in spawn.
So i thought to my self can you do like, AreaCreate(Pos, Pos,Name) and then like if player is in area then...

Here's an implementation I made here: [url]https://github.com/SuperiorServers/plib_v2/blob/master/lua/plib/libraries/zone.lua[/url]

Use:
local Area = QuadPrism( vecMinCorner, vecMaxCorner ); print( Area:PointInside( Player:GetPos() );
or
local Area = Sphere( vecCentre, flRadius ); print( Area:PointInside( Player:GetPos() );

Not really what i looked for... :|

I just wana make a rectangle, but how do you create it, i can see you get the center and all that, but creating it...

Or use a custom Trigger Entity. (An entity that triggers once a player enters it's bounding box).

If you just want to check if a SpawnPoint is valid and a player will be able to spawn there without getting stuck You should probably use [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/util/TraceHull]util.TraceHull[/url]

That's what a QuadPrism is; a rectangular prism is just a kind. How are you wanting to create the zone?

I want so you use like the command GetPos and then you type in two cordinates it finds the space between the two points, and i can check if someone is in that space and lets just say slay them or something.

I'm guessing that although he just displays the area as a circle, he's really doing an [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/ents/FindInSphere]ents.FindInSphere[/url] check each Think or at whatever interval. FindInBox will achieve the same thing in a rectangle.

if i use the ents.FindInBox() how is the coordinates supposed to be inside the ()?

You need to have the minimum and maximum vector of your box. If this is a static area, you can go into single-player and type "lua_run print( Entity(1):GetPos() )" for the farthest corners, and form Vector( lowest X, lowest Y, lowest Z ) and Vector( highest X, highest Y, highest Z ) for the function arguments inside the ().
