whats the syntax for using getareausers

[mirabell]

hello im currently using this to be able to get amount of player in a event map but we wanted to add a spectator mode and we dont want to count them This is the code we have

if (getmapusers("bob") <= 1) {

would it be something like

 

if (getareausers("bob",<x1>,<y1>,<x2>,<y2>) <= 1) {

cause i get a little confused when to use the , and the coord go in between the "--" or outside?

my last question since this is a area check do i get the coord of each corner of the area i want checked ?

             here--->------------------------
                          -                           -
                          -                           -
                          -                           - 
                          -                           - 
                          -                           - 
                          -                           -  
                          ------------------------ <----------here?

i always have issue with area coords lol

 

thanks

I believe you have the syntax correct-

getareausers("<map name>",<x1>,<y1>,<x2>,<y2>)

This function will return the count of connected characters which are located 
within the specified area - an x1/y1-x2/y2 square on the specified map.

This is useful for maps that are split into many buildings, such as all the 
"*_in" maps, due to all the shops and houses.

I've only ever used a coordinate plug like that for setcell but it looks very much the same.

	setcell instance_mapname("1@payonn"),216,253,216,247,cell_walkable,0;

and I went left to right (x) top to bottom (y) and I believe that worked fine. I'm not actually sure if you'd have a problem doing the reverse. I'm also not sure I understood the last question- if you are asking if the coordinates themselves are included in the area check, again the answer is yes.

Hope this helps,

Yes it would be something like this 

if getareausers("prontera",<255>,<55>,<200>,<65>) {

and for the coords not so sure but i think it works like this

                         y1  ------------------------ y2
                          -                           -
                          -                           -
                          -                           - 
                          -                           - 
                          -                           - 
                          -                           -  
                         x1 --------------------------x2
