IsPlayerInRangeOfPoint not working. - Aerotactics - 15.01.2015

I'm trying to create a simple timer that checks to see if the player is within range, and if so, burns them. However the timer isn't working. After debugging, I found out the issue is with the IsPlayerInRangeOfPoint line, but can't figure how to fix it.

Or could the issue be the double loop? I was simply trying to save space.

pawn Код:

public FireBurn()
{
    for(new i=0; i<MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
    {
        if(IsPlayerConnected(i))
        {
            for(new j=0; j<MAX_FIRES; j++)
            {
                if(IsValidDynamicObject(fire[j]))
                {
                    new Float:x, Float:y, Float:z;
                    GetDynamicObjectPos(fire[j], x, y, z);
                    if(IsPlayerInRangeOfPoint(i, 1, x, y, z))
                    {
                        new Float:health;
                        GetPlayerHealth(i, health);
                        SetPlayerHealth(i, (health - 5));
                        SendClientMessage(i, -1, "burning...");
                    }
                }
                else continue;
            }
        }
        else continue;
    }
    return 1;
}

Hello!

My server developer suggests you to change:

pawn Код:

if(IsPlayerInRangeOfPoint(i, 1, x, y, z))

with

pawn Код:

if(IsPlayerInRangeOfPoint(i, 1.0, x, y, z))

No luck, but rep for effort, thank you.

I know from experience that Get(Dynamic)ObjectPos does not always work on certain objects, especially when they move. Get(Dynamic)ObjectPos returns the position where it was created, not the actual position after it moved.

Try to debug these coords and see if they are actually close together.

pawn Код:

Float:x, Float:y, Float:z, Float:px, Float:py, Float:pz;
GetDynamicObjectPos(fire[j], x, y, z);
GetPlayerPos(i, px, py, pz);
printf("Objectpos: %.2f, %.2f, %.2f \n Playerpos: %.2f, %.2f, %.2f", x, y, z, px, py, pz);
printf("Distance: %.2f", floatsqroot(((x1-x2)*(x1-x2))+((y1-y2)*(y1-y2))+((z1-z2)*(z1-z2))));

You called it, the Z returned on the fire object was > 2 from the original placement coords. Will adjust accordingly, +rep.
