set_proximity problems

I am having issues with set_proximity when a player is already inside the boundaries.
If inside before the call is made, neither an EVENT_ENTER or EVENT_EXIT is called.
This is troublesome to me as I want to translocate all players in the proximity when set_proximity is called.

If anyone knows the solution to this problem, or can offer a different way to implement proximity translocation, it would be much appreciated.

I don't necessarily need to use set_proximity, but I would like a way to translocate all players in a given area.

I can post the script if it helps.

The easiest solution would be to just iterate through the client list and move all clients that are within a certain distance of the spawned translocator NPC. Here are some list iterating examples:

Then, in your list search, run this:

Code:

my $ClientDist = $ent->CalculateDistance($x, $y, $z);

Then just check if the distance is within the desired range and do $ent->MovePC() if so.

Thanks.
$ent->MovePC( zone_id, x, y, z, 0 ) worked for me.

Here is the actual code I used...

Code:

$clientx = 0; $clienty = 0; $clientz = 0;

@clientlist = $entity_list->GetClientList();

foreach $ent (@clientlist)

{

  $playerx = $ent->GetX();

  $playery = $ent->GetY();

  $playerz = $ent->GetZ();

  if( $playerx >= $LocationX1List[$locationNumber] && $playerx <= $LocationX2List[$locationNumber] )

  {

  if( $playery >= $LocationY1List[$locationNumber] && $playery <= $LocationY2List[$locationNumber] )

  {

  if( $playerz >= $LocationZ1List[$locationNumber] && $playerz <= $LocationZ2List[$locationNumber] )

  {

  # Client is within the boundries

    $ent->MovePC( 96, 4366.94, -12256.9, -265, 0 );

  }

  }

  }

}

I just do a simple bounding box check instead of a vector magnitude calculation.
Now that the code works, I have to port it back to template form.
I think I'll have to post the code for anyone who's interested.
