How would I make it so if a player gets too close to me it kills them?

[ExTaZiE]

I'm just messing around with code, and I got the idea to make players die if they get too close to me. So, my question is: How would I make it so if a player gets too close to me it kills them?

I've tried this:

if ents.FindInSphere( ply:GetPos(), 70 ) then
   	Player:Kill()
end

But that didn't work :P

Try this:

for k,v in pairs( ents.FindInSphere( ply:GetPos(), 70 ) ) do
    v:Kill()
end

ents.FindInSphere returns a table (like [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/ents/GetAll]ents.GetAll[/url] does), so you can loop through it like that to use it

Note that you'd need to set the ply variable to be yourself, and also you'd probably have to run this in a [URL="https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/Think"]think[/URL] hook or something so it checks constantly

You might also want to check if v is valid, and if it's a player using [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Global/IsValid]Global.IsValid[/url] and [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/IsPlayer]Entity:IsPlayer[/url]

E.G.

local ply = player.GetBySteamID( YOUR STEAMID )

hook.Add( 'Think', 'KillPlayers', function()
    for k,v in pairs( ents.FindInSphere( ply:GetPos(), 70 ) ) do
        if IsValid(v) and v:IsPlayer() and v ~= ply then
            v:Kill()
        end
    end
end )

I know I'm most likely doing something wrong, because it's giving me this error in console:

[ERROR] addons/im_the_founder/lua/autorun/wolf_is_the_founder.lua:65: attempt to call method 'Kill' (a nil value)

if client then return end at the top of your file

Didn't work.

You're trying to call Kill client-sided when its a serverside function.

Can we see the latest code again? Or instead just drop it in autorun/server

surface.CreateFont( "CV20", {
	font = "DermaLarge", -- Use the font-name which is shown to you by your operating system Font Viewer, not the file name

	strikeout = false,

} )

function DrawName( ply )
 
	if !ply:Alive() then return end
 
	local offset = Vector( 0, 0, 85 )
	local ang = LocalPlayer():EyeAngles()
	local pos = ply:GetPos() + offset + ang:Up()
 
	ang:RotateAroundAxis( ang:Forward(), 90 )
	ang:RotateAroundAxis( ang:Right(), 90 )

	if ply:SteamID() == "STEAM_*:*:********" then
		cam.Start3D2D( pos, Angle( 0, ang.y, 90 ), 0.25 )
			draw.DrawText( "Yes, I am the real Founder.", "CV20", 2, 2, Color( 24, 255, 75, 255 ), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER )
		cam.End3D2D()
	end
end
hook.Add( "PostPlayerDraw", "DrawName", DrawName )

local CircleMat = Material( "SGM/playercircle" )

hook.Add( "PrePlayerDraw", "PlayerRings", function( ply )

	local colour = Color(132,50,29,100)
	local radius = 70         

    local trace = {}
    trace.start = ply:GetPos() + Vector(0,0,50)
    trace.endpos = trace.start + Vector(0,0,-300)
    trace.filter = ply
    local tr = util.TraceLine( trace )
    if !tr.HitWorld then
        tr.HitPos = ply:GetPos()
    end

    if ply:SteamID() == "STEAM_*:*:********" then
    	render.SetMaterial( CircleMat )
   	 	render.DrawQuadEasy( tr.HitPos + tr.HitNormal, tr.HitNormal, radius, radius, colour )
	end
end )

local ply = player.GetBySteamID( "STEAM_*:*:********" )

hook.Add( 'Think', 'KillPlayers', function()
    for k,v in pairs( ents.FindInSphere( ply:GetPos(), 70 ) ) do
        if IsValid(v) and v:IsPlayer() then
           v:Kill()
        end
    end
end )

That's all in one file

[Invule]

Right.

Drop the code MPan1 gave you into autorun/server/ and the postplayerdraw & preplaydraw in autorun/client/

Your folder structure should look like this:

Client : addons/im_the_founder/lua/autorun/client/cl_init.lua
Server: addons/im_the_founder/lua/autorun/server/init.lua

No errors this time, but it doesn't kill anyone.

[MysteryPancake]

Are you testing it with bots or something? I don't think it would work with bots. If you're testing it with other players, then maybe the problem is that the sphere is too small

Also, I doubt your steam ID would be STEAM_*:*:********

Wildcards don't work with strings

[ExTaZiE]

I edited out my SteamID (I don't know why)

It kills players now, but it also kills me.

[MysteryPancake]

Oh yeah, I'm an idiot. Try checking if v ~= ply in the 'then' statement bit so then it won't kill players that are you (I edited the code I posted before so it does that)

[ExTaZiE]

Thank you! It works now :D
