This function creates a collision circle. This is a shape that has a position and a radius and infinite height that you can use to detect a player's presence. Events will be triggered when a player enters or leaves it.

[[{{{image}}}|link=|]] Tip: To visualize a colshape when writing scripts, use the client console command showcol

Syntax

colshape createColCircle ( float fX, float fY, float radius )
example

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Method: ColShape.Circle(...)


Required Arguments

  • fX: The collision circle's center point's X axis position.
  • fY: The collision circle's center point's Y axis position.
  • radius: The radius of the collision circle. Can not be smaller than 0.1.

Returns

Returns a colshape element if successful, false if invalid arguments were passed to the function.

Example

Click to collapse [-]
Server

This example displays a chat message when a player enters the colshape and allows the colshape to be created using a console function set_zone. 

local theZone

function shapeHit(thePlayer)
    outputChatBox(getPlayerName(thePlayer).. " is in the zone!")
end

function setZone(playerSource, commandName, fX, fY, fRadius)
    local fX, fY, fRadius = tonumber(fX), tonumber(fY), tonumber(fRadius)
    if (not fX) or (not fY) or (not fRadius) then
        outputChatBox("Syntax: /"..commandName.." [X] [Y] [Radius]", playerSource)
    else
        if (theZone ~= nil) then
            destroyElement(theZone)
        end
        local tempCol = createColCircle(fX, fY, fRadius)
        addEventHandler("onColShapeHit", tempCol, shapeHit)
        outputChatBox("Zone has "..(theZone ~= nil and "moved" or "created").."!", playerSource)
        theZone = tempCol
    end
end
addCommandHandler("set_zone", setZone, false, false)
