Local Chat

Can I see an example of a local chat when a certain command is triggered on behalf of a player?

For example, I need to do the command "/me" and so that it is not on the entire server was visible but at a certain distance from the caller of the command.

 

What do you mean? Do you mean either of these:

1. you want the command to just send it to you and not the whole server

2. The /me you put is visible to the whole server and you want to only a certain amount of people to see it.

 

I want to make it so that the command was "/me [player action]" and the message was seen in a certain radius and not the whole world.
Output: "Player1 sat on the steps".

 

So you want the command to be seen in a certain radius or the output?

My best bet is to try using mtrand to create a radius like this.

Code:

$x = $player->x + mt_rand(10, 15); //radius is 10-15 blocks
$z = $player->z + mt_rand(5, 15);
$y = $player->getLevel()->getHighestBlockAt($x, $z);

 

Within a certain radius of whoever called the team.
Can the code you provided help me with a solution?

 

This is quite simple to implement.

OnChat event just get the players near the player coordinates. Then set the viewers from the array.

 

Couldn't you just do

PHP:

foreach($player->getLevel()->getNearbyEntities($player->getBoundingBox()->expandedCopy($maxX, $maxY, $maxZ)) as $entity) {
      if($entity instanceof \pocketmine\Player) {# If near by entity is a player
            // code
      }
}


 

That’s actually a better method.

 

PHP:

/** @var PlayerChatEvent */
$event->setRecipients(
    array_filter($player->getLevel()->getNearbyEntities(
       $player->getBoundingBox()->expandedCopy($maxX, $maxY, $maxZ),
       fn($e) => $e instanceof Player)
    );
);


I've realised that there are so many times you can go by without foreach loops.
