Title: Returning the lesser distance from four different vectors
Post by: Mötley on Jan 29, 2018, 01:22 AM

Sorry, It's been a really long work week, and my mind is not really that great from lack of sleep, and over working. This is a rather simple solution. I just cant seem to think clearly :/ regards.

Well the topic say's it all.
I was looking at the Squirrel Docs at what made sense, http://www.squirrel-lang.org/squirreldoc/reference/language/builtin_functions.html?highlight=compare .

Please remember I'm only testing at the moment, I haven't taken the time to write to code more efficiently, this is just fundamental testing stuff. Any help on how I should go about this would be great! ;)

Code Select

Hospital_Spawn <- array( GetMaxPlayers(), false ); // Has the player died
HospitalSpawnLocations <- [ Vector( -886.074,-470.278,13.1109 ), Vector( -783.051,1141.83,12.4111), Vector( 467.763,697.68,11.7033 ), Vector( -135.137,-981.579,10.4634 ) ]; // Hospital locations

Death_Loacation <- array( GetMaxPlayers() ); // Storage of the players last position upon death 'player.Pos'

// Kuddos Rwwpl 
function GetDistance(v1,v2) return sqrt((v2.x-v1.x)*(v2.x-v1.x) + (v2.y-v1.y)*(v2.y-v1.y) + (v2.z-v1.z)*(v2.z-v1.z));

There's so much to compare, I don't want to go about this wrongly and end up with a huge script, when that's not even necessary.
I can get around to this eventually if no one is able to help me any time soon.

Vector1.Distance (Vector2)

Use that one, its faster and better. It was also posted several times on the forum

I did a search for that version. I did not see it, Can I get a link please :)?

Welp, I figured I would make this easier on myself, I made this Island return. It took a lot of testing. It's not 100% perfected but it should do the trick once perfected.

Code Select

function GetIsland(pos) {
  
  // First Island
  if (pos.x > -170) return 1;
  // Third Island
  if (pos.x < -724) return 3;
  
  // Center islands bull shittery 
  return 2;
}

function NearestHospital(pos) {
	if (pos.y >= 30) return 1; // northern hospitals
	if (pos.y <= 30) return 2; // southern hospitals

}

I'm just going to fix this myself and randomly put solved as I don't see anyone really helping on this tbh...

What's so hard when I already told you the method

Code Select

g_Hospitals <- [
    Vector(x,y,z),
    ...
];

function GetNearestHospital(player) {
    local pPos = player.Pos;
    local lastSmallDistance = pPos.Pos.Distance(g_Hospitals[0]), Hindex;
    foreach(index, vHospital in g_Hospitals) {
        if(pPos.Distance(vHospital) < lastSmallDistance) {
            Hindex = index;
        }
    }
    return Hindex;
}

Might have mistakes but I don't know how you didn't manage to understand it
