Radius

How do I make something when someone places a block then it checks if its within a 5 block radius of someone else's block, if it is then cancel the event.

EDIT: It would also help if it had these params

Code:java

public static boolean isWithinSomeoneElseBlock(String loc) {
//@param loc = 1,1,1 or x,y,z
}

 

Just add radius to the x,y,z and do the same for subtraction.
ie 3 nested for int (x...) loops.

 

Like this?

x = 1, y = 2, z = 3;
x = x + radius;
y = y + radius;
z = z + radius;

Thats it?

I think it would be helpful if you give me some code, not to be rude of course.

 

Code:

for (int x = startX - radius; x < startX + radius; x++)

Now just put that line below, change x to y, and then copy again and change y to z.

 

Cool, I'll try it out.

It works!!! thanks so much md_5

md_5 there is a slight problem. When you have the radius set to any number but for this case we'll use 5. So on two of the sides of the block only protects 4 blocks out while the other two sides protects 5 blocks out. Is this my code or the code you gave me

 

replace

Code:java

x < startX + radius

with

Code:java

x <= startX + radius

 

Thanks it worked.
