not sure why u have

Quote: "if vlh_PlayerDist (e) <=50 then"

it should be

Quote: "if PlayerDist < 50 then"

like in the default scripts

also make sure you are naming the scripts correctly (file name also needs to be "script" in this case

the full script will look like this

+ Code Snippet


function script_main(e)

 PlayerDX = g_Entity[e]['x'] - g_PlayerPosX;

 PlayerDY = g_Entity[e]['y'] - g_PlayerPosY;

 PlayerDZ = g_Entity[e]['z'] - g_PlayerPosZ;

 PlayerDist = math.sqrt(math.abs(PlayerDX*PlayerDX)+math.abs(PlayerDY*PlayerDY)+math.abs(PlayerDZ*PlayerDZ));



 if PlayerDist < 51 then

   Prompt("Hello All");

 end

end

i would guess you are not actually getting within the range of the target entity, try this to see how far away you are.

+ Code Snippet

function script_main(e)

 PlayerDX = g_Entity[e]['x'] - g_PlayerPosX;

 PlayerDY = g_Entity[e]['y'] - g_PlayerPosY;

 PlayerDZ = g_Entity[e]['z'] - g_PlayerPosZ;

 PlayerDist = math.sqrt(math.abs(PlayerDX*PlayerDX)+math.abs(PlayerDY*PlayerDY)+math.abs(PlayerDZ*PlayerDZ));



 if PlayerDist < 81 then

   Prompt("Hello All");

 else

   Prompt( .. PlayerDist)

 end

end

i find it best to start at least at 100 for distance checks to see how it works with your objects and tweaking to your liking from there

Do you have vlh_PlayerDist() function defined? According to the vlh_ prefix, it seems you've taken function name from my Visual LUA designer, but note that you need to include (require) .lua file where the script is defined into your code.

btw. if vlh_PlayerDist(e) <= 50 will check if distance is 50, 49, 48, 47, ... units and if vlh_PlayerDist(e) < 50 will check if the distance is 49, 48, 47... that's the only difference and 1 FPSC unit difference is almost unnoticeable.
