Entity Discovery Bugs

[goluch]

Me and some of my mates who are epic at wire have all tryed to use the allow and disallow players functions how ever when every they are called the chip shuts down and says script error.

[Bull]

Yes and?

You might want to include some code.

If it says script error it's likely an issue with wire. Try reinstalling.

the functions in general do not work cus my mate soundkiller has tried like 100 times.
and its not just me its loads of ppl.
findExcludePlayer()
findAllowPlayer()

[Bull]

Again, post some code.

"We can't get this to work, so it must be broken."
Is not enough.

[highlight=e2]
findinShere(entity()os(),10000)
findByClass("player")
findExcludePlayer(entity()wner())
Target = find()

Wll ExcludePlayer() should be before the findinShere (Which should be findInSphere) for one thing.

Oh yeah, "findinShere" is probably the issue.

[Bull]

findinShere(entity():pos(),10000)
findByClass("player")
findExcludePlayer(entity():owner())
Target = find()

First you search for all entities in a sphere.
Then you search for a players.
After searching you exclude the owner from future finds
And then you return the first find of the player search?

That is in theory at least.

In practice:
You first put every single entity, from a huge sphere, in a index.
And straight afterwards you try to do the same with every player.

Entity discovery takes a lot of resources, doing it twice will high likely will cause your errors.
It's pointless anyway... findByClass("player") Will delete everything found in the sphere

This should give you better results:

## Maybe needed, maybe not.
## findClearWhiteList() 
## findClearBlackList() 

findAllowClass("player")
findExcludePlayer(entity():owner())
findinSphere(entity():pos(),10000)
Target = find()

But again, don't runOnTick this code. Once every 1 second should be plenty.

Simple typos ruin everything :P

lulle, that avatar is freaking me out when it moves

nope i couldn't be bothered to cut and paste so i typed with a slight error that correctly spelt in the real thing.
