[Feature request] Get user/player coordinates #175

Closed jmarshallpresnell closed 2 years ago

jmarshallpresnell commented 2 years ago

Add a function to retrieve the list of active users and their coordinates in world-space. (If this exists already, I can't seem to find it)

This would be especially useful in both multiplayer and location-based actions, for example to only power hypertube entrances when a user is nearby (or my specific implementaiotn: to auto route a user through a hypertube network), or something more mundane like turning lights on when a user is nearby.

There definetly wont be a general function that allowes you to do so... FIN is no magic... tho maybe at some point there will be a player sensore which allows you to do that in a small given area around the sensor... tho nothing solid is in planning, we are focusing on other stuff like visual scripting

Thanks! :) Seems weird that it's not readily queryable on request, but Unreal has some very weird things in it!

You miss understand something here... Unreal can do that no problem... But the mod doesn't expose it...

The mod does not have a scripting interface for the game, it has a scripting interface inside of the game... Immersion is key... IRL I can request a list of all humans living on planet earth, right? So you can't do the same in game.

Design decisions on our behalf, not from Unreal
