Player Locator

Hey guys, how to make a compass that locates the nearby player?

 

You can get the nearest player by iterating over $player->getViewers() and calculating their distances from $player.
And this will make the compass for a player point towards $position.

PHP:

$player->setSpawn($position);


 

PHP:

//$player is player object
if($player instanceof Position){
    $closest = false;
    $lastSquare = -1;
    foreach($player->level->getPlayers() as $p){
      $square = $player->distanceSquared($p);
        if($lastSquare === -1 or $lastSquare > $square){
           $closest = $p;
           $lastSquare = $square;
        }
   }
   if($closest == false){
      //Not found
   }else{
      //$closest is the closest player object
   }
}

Addition, if you want to set needle to the closest player, use setspawnpositionpacket

PHP:

$pk = new SetSpawnPositionPacket();
$pk->spawnType = SetSpawnPositionPacket::TYPE_WORLD_SPAWN;
$pk->x = (int) $closest->getX();
$pk->y = (int) $closest->getY();
$pk->z = (int) $closest->getZ();
$pk->spawnForced = false;
$player->dataPacket($pk);
