Problems with the InPoly function

[Sir. Cucuruchito]

Hi everyone, I am writing a function for detect bank locations and ATMs. In this moment, I have got this:

main.nut

Code Select Expand

// BANK LOCATIONS
banks <- [
"-921.229, -355.514, -928.713, -326.602, -901.457, -326.602, -901.457, -355.519", // elBancoCorruptoGrande
"357.028, 1127.34, 356.961, 1132.15, 359.17, 1132.33, 359.462, 1127.27", // atmMall
"6.47041, -949.763, 1.30694, -949.764, 1.51372, -947.378, 6.33632, -947.53", // atmWashingtonMallRightSide
"1.44156, -928.274, 6.39117, -928.274, 6.37502, -930.697, 1.46436, -930.314" // atmWashingtonMallLeftSide
]

another_one.nut

Code Select Expand

function isPlayerIntoBank(player) {
    local found = false;

    for(local i = 0; i < banks.len() && !found; i++) {
        if(InPoly(player.Pos.x, player.Pos.y, banks[i]))
            found = true;
    }

    return found;
}



In the wiki say that the arguments are two floats (player.Pos) and an string / array / floats, but fails.

Use DistanceFromPoint() instead.

[Sir. Cucuruchito]

Use DistanceFromPoint() instead.

This function doesn't allow me to make geometric shapes like a rectangle / square. Also, the previous function should work.

Alrighty then, are you sure InPoly works with strings?

[Xmair]

That function expects floats, not strings.

[Sir. Cucuruchito]

That function expects floats, not strings.

In the Wiki it puts the opposite.(I didn't try with floats.)

Are you talking about client-side or server-side?
According to source code, server-side supports string.

About server-side. Although It says It works with string but It tried It and It fails.
In my code they are string but it returns the previous garbage exception output. Is it possible that is a bug?

[NicusorN5]

Possible. Try using an array of floats.

Code Select Expand

function isPlayerIntoBank(player) {
    for(local i = 0; i < banks.len(); i++) {
        if(InPoly(player.Pos.x, player.Pos.y, banks[i][0], banks[i][1], banks[i][2], banks[i][3], banks[i][4], banks[i][5], banks[i][6], banks[i][7]))
        {
            return true;
            break;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

I did, but that should not be the solution. If I can use floats, I should be able to use string or arrays.
@Stormeus I would like to know if it is an error or whatever.

Code Select Expand

function isPlayerIntoBank(player) {
    for(local i = 0; i < banks.len(); i++) {
        if(InPoly(player.Pos.x, player.Pos.y, banks[i][0], banks[i][1], banks[i][2], banks[i][3], banks[i][4], banks[i][5], banks[i][6], banks[i][7]))
        {
            return true;
            break;
        }
    }
    return false;
}


Yes, these is my current solution.
