[ArcEmu][Lua] Select players within x amount of yards?

[Pretzal]

This time ill post it in the right forum >,>

Core: ArcEmu R 3236
Lua Engine: LuaHypArc

My code almost works, except for the fact that when you stand near one of the npc's, then go ~ 300 yards or so away and stand next to the other one, the core console goes berserk spamming Out of Memory. Im guessing its because I have a bad range checker, and is there a more efficient way i could do it? lua pref... i know abit of C++ but when i try read whats in the core - my head spins xD

Anyways heres the code that works, but sends the core crazy -

function Peacekeeper_On(Unit, Event)
	local plrs = Unit:GetInRangePlayers()
	for k, v in pairs(plrs) do
		if Unit:GetDistanceYards(v) < 10 then
			v:FlagFFA(false) 
		end
	end
	RegisterTimedEvent("Peacekeeper_On", 1000, 0, Unit)
end

RegisterUnitEvent(59951, 18, "Peacekeeper_On")


function Warbringer_On(Unit, Event)
	local plrs = Unit:GetInRangePlayers()
	for k, v in pairs(plrs) do
		if Unit:GetDistanceYards(v) < 10 then
			v:FlagFFA(true) 
		end
	end
	RegisterTimedEvent("Warbringer_On", 1000, 0, Unit)
end

RegisterUnitEvent(59952, 18, "Warbringer_On")

Heres what i mean by "Sends the core crazy":

Cant just ignore it - Not when you cant read anything the core is outputting & it sends a few of my cores through the roof (an I7, so i have plenty of processor but why waste it?)

Is there an error on the ArcEmu World thing?

[Pretzal]

Yeah. But not your normal lua error. my script, works perfectly EXCEPT when you go from the peacekeeper's InRange area, to the warbringers InRange error (Or visa versa). When that occurs, the console repeats Out of memory over and over, until it eventually crashes xD (Out of memory error is spammed over 50x every second)

EDIT: Btw i have 12gb RAM & an I7 (And watching my cpu/ram as the error occurs) and i am definatenyl NOT out of memory/processor, but some of my cores are spiked heavily)

I dont really understand what you want help with..

function Peacekeeper_On(Unit, Event)
	local plrs = Unit:GetInRangePlayers() <-- Range checker #1 - Is there a better way to do this?
	for k, v in pairs(plrs) do 
		if Unit:GetDistanceYards(v) < 10 then <-- Range checker #2
			v:FlagFFA(false) 
		end
	end
	RegisterTimedEvent("Peacekeeper_On", 1000, 0, Unit)
end

Okay my goal of this script:
Flag/ unflag people for free for all PvP within the radius of this NPC

I am (guessing) that my method for getting the players -

	local plrs = Unit:GetInRangePlayers()
	for k, v in pairs(plrs) do
		if Unit:GetDistanceYards(v) < 10 then

is bad.

Because, whenever the character stands next to one npc, it deflags him properly. But when he then moves to the other NPC to flag him (After, and only after standing next to the original deflagging npc) the server sends that spaz of an error message. (And eventually the server crashes when i try the reloadscripts command, and most other commands for that fact)

The script has no syntax errors, only some kind of logic error that is screwing the server up.

So I am asking - Why is my server telling me that i am out of memory, whenever someone walks within 10 yards of one npc, and then within 10 yards of the other npc, (The npcs are roughly 50-70 yards apart)?

Try this.

function Peacekeeper_On(Unit, Event)
local plrs = Unit:GetInRangePlayers()
for k, v in pairs(plrs) do
if Unit:GetDistanceYards(v) < 10 then
v:FlagFFA(false)
end
end
RegisterTimedEvent("Peacekeeper_On", 1000, 0, Unit)
Unit:RemoveEvents()
end

RegisterUnitEvent(59951, 18, "Peacekeeper_On")


function Warbringer_On(Unit, Event)
local plrs = Unit:GetInRangePlayers()
for k, v in pairs(plrs) do
if Unit:GetDistanceYards(v) < 10 then
v:FlagFFA(true)
end
end
RegisterTimedEvent("Warbringer_On", 1000, 0, Unit)
Unit:RemoveEvents()
end

RegisterUnitEvent(59952, 18, "Warbringer_On")
