Solved Message in radius (Lua)

    I looked at the plugin Deathnotes
    Code:
    for ply in BasePlayer.activePlayerList:                if self.distance(ply.transform.position, vpos) <= float(PLUGIN['MESSAGES RADIUS']):
    I tried to make myself
    Code:
    for a in player.activePlayerList do
        if Vector3.Distance(a.transform.position, player.transform.position) <= 300.0 then
            rust.SendChatMessage(a, player.displayName, msg, player.UserID)
        end
    end

    It would be helpful to add the error you are receiving when attempting to run this.

    You cannot currently enumerate over a List Collection with a for loop in lua. Referenced Teleportation

    Code:
    local PlayerListEnumerator = global.BasePlayer.activePlayerList:GetEnumerator()
   
    -- Iterate through the online player list and check for a match.
    while PlayerListEnumerator:MoveNext() do
    -- Do stuff here
        local displayName = string.lower( PlayerListEnumerator.Current.displayName )
    end
    Also from Teleportation found when Vector3 is referenced, a fully qualified classname is used:

    Code:
    UnityEngine.Vector3.Distance
    instead of just Vector3.Distance. May not be necessary anymore but worth a shot.

    And finally, you can use
    Code:
    rust.UserIDFromPlayer(PlayerListEnumerator.Current)
    to grab the userID .

    Thank you very much for the help
    I want to share my code, local text chat, hopefully to someone it is will be useful
    Code:
    function PLUGIN:OnPlayerChat(arg)
    local msg = arg:GetString(0, "text")
    local star = string.sub(msg, 0, 1)
    local msg = string.sub(msg, 2, -1)
    if star == '*' then
        local player = arg.connection.player
        local PlayerListEnumerator = global.BasePlayer.activePlayerList:GetEnumerator()
        while PlayerListEnumerator:MoveNext() do
            local a = PlayerListEnumerator.Current
            local a_pos = PlayerListEnumerator.Current.transform.position
            if UnityEngine.Vector3.Distance(a_pos, player.transform.position) <= 300.0 then
                rust.SendChatMessage(a, player.displayName, msg, rust.UserIDFromPlayer(player))
            end
        end
        return true
    end
end
    How to use:
    Input in chat '*hello world'
