If is near entity

[CrAzY_-7865]

Hi everyone
I wanted to asks, how can I detect when my character is near an object?
If my character touches the door (and the door opens), it will automatically be teleported to a specific location.
I have no idea how to detect if it touches the door (it would be better when it opens).

Something like a portal gun.
does anyone have any ideas?

C++: ENTITY::IS_ENTITY_TOUCHING_ENTITY

C#: Game.Player.Character.IsTouching(entityHere)

 

If you don't know the entity or this doesn't work, you can get the distance between to coordinates:

C++: MISC::GET_DISTANCE_BETWEEN_COORDS

C#: Game.Player.Character.Position.DistanceTo(position)

Vector3 EntityCoords = ENTITY::GET_ENTITY_COORDS(EntitySpawned, !ENTITY::IS_ENTITY_DEAD(EntitySpawned));
float DistanceOfEntity = GAMEPLAY::GET_DISTANCE_BETWEEN_COORDS(MyCoords.x, MyCoords.y, MyCoords.z, EntityCoords.x, EntityCoords.y, EntityCoords.z, false);
if (DistanceOfEntity != 0){
  notify("You're close to the entity!");
}else{
  notify("You're still too far away.");
}

something like this?

Looks pretty good, although the distance will probably never be exactly zero. < 0.5f or similar would be best.

Yes, I noticed it. 
The only problem is that I don't understand why it runs the function in a loop. 
In this case, teleportation. 
I tried to insert a break / return, but nothing.

I'm not sure what you mean. Since you're using C++, you are running the function in the while(true) loop.

Post the code so we can help, or PM me it.

if (DistanceOfEntity != 0){
  //teleport(PLAYER::PLAYER_PED_ID(), X, Y, Z, H);//but executes this function in loop
}else{
  notify("You're still too far away.");
}

The distance will almost never be exactly 0, so (DistanceOfEntity != 0) will basically always return true, which in turn means you will be teleporting forever.

So if I remove "! = 0", with a return / break, will not execute no longer perform the function in a loop?

Replace it with

(DistanceOfEntity < 0.5f)

 

Then it should only teleport when you are within 0.5 units. When you teleport away, you should be farther than 0.5 units, and the loop will end.

How i can get if i touch the cell gate?
The method I did above, unfortunately does not work, only works with the entities I spawned.

Someone?
