For some reason, my character is only getting hurt when they are in the center of the hurtzone. I dragged the stars to make it a larger area but it's not working. It works when they are only in the center.

Thanks!

Here is the script

-- LUA Script - precede every function and global member with lowercase name of script + '_main'
-- Detonate proximity mine

function hurt2_init(e)
StartTimer(e)
end

function hurt2_main(e)
PlayerDist = GetPlayerDistance(e)
if PlayerDist < 70 then
if g_PlayerPosY < g_Entity[e]['y']+38.5 then
if GetTimer(e) > 100 then
HurtPlayer(-1,5)
StartTimer(e)
end
end
end
end

You need g_Entity[e].plrinzone == 1 instead of the player distance checks.

I'm still lost.

function hurt2_init(e)
StartTimer(e)
end

function hurt2_main(e)
--PlayerDist = GetPlayerDistance(e)
--if PlayerDist < 70 then
--if g_PlayerPosY < g_Entity[e]['y']+38.5 then
if g_Entity[e]['plrinzone']==1 then
if GetTimer(e) > 100 then
HurtPlayer(-1,5)
StartTimer(e)
end
end
end
end

Ok, this works.

-- LUA Script - precede every function and global member with lowercase name of script + '_main'
-- Detonate proximity mine

function hurt2_init(e)
StartTimer(e)
end
function hurt2_main(e)
if g_Entity[e]['plrinzone']==1 then
if GetTimer(e) > 100 then
HurtPlayer(-1,5)
StartTimer(e)
end
end
end

Why is it I have a hurt zone in the water below a bridge and when the player cross the bridge the player gets hurt? ugggggg. The hurt zone is 100% below the bridge.

What I'm looking for is if you are in the water you get damage.

Add a height check, i.e. only hurt if player height - zone height is less than a certain amnount.

height check... interesting. I'll search for that. Thank you!

Also, my terrain is not level and the yellow stars are all at different heights when I position them from the top-down view. Will pressing "Return" fix this? So far no luck. Can I disable anything so it does not automatically adjust?

Height is the Y location. g_Entity[ e ].y gives you the zone height, g_PlayerPosY is the player height.

Looking back up this thread a bit I notice you commented out the height check!

i.e. this bit: if g_PlayerPosY < g_Entity[e]['y']+38.5 then

So what you probably want is:
if g_Entity[e].plrinzone ==1 and g_PlayerPosY < g_Entity[e].y + 38.5 then

Thanks, AmenMoses! I'll try that.

it doesn't matter about the points around the edge, they are only to show the area of the zone and their height won't matter, the height will be calculated from the center circle of the zone.

You can even work with the heigh of the terrain itself.
