Module proximity
Provides a composable proximity callback: you can use "proximity" as a hook, with the function to call if the player's in range as an argument.
Functions
| proximity (trigger) | Poll for player proximity to a point in space. |
| proximityScan (trigger) | This variant assumes a proximity hook between two ships, and trigger when the anchor ship scans the focus ship (fuzzy detection doesn't trigger). |
Functions
- proximity (trigger)
-
Poll for player proximity to a point in space.
Parameters:
- trigger
table
Contains: "location" (destination point) or "anchor" (destination pilot), "radius" (maximum distance),
"focus" (source pilot, defaulting to the player), and "funcname" (what to call if within the radius).
Usage:
hook.timer(0.5, "proximity", {location = vec2.new(0, 0), radius = 500, funcname = "function"})hook.timer(0.5, "proximity", {anchor = mypilot, radius = 500, funcname = "function"})hook.timer(0.5, "proximity", {anchor = mypilot, radius = 500, funcname = "function", focus = theirpilot})

- proximityScan (trigger)
-
This variant assumes a proximity hook between two ships, and trigger when the anchor ship scans the focus ship (fuzzy detection doesn't trigger).
Parameters:
- trigger
table
Contains: "anchor" (destination pilot, defaulting to the player), "focus" (the pilot that's polled for),
"funcname" (what to call if "anchor" detects "focus"). --
Usage:
hook.timer(0.5, "proximityScan", {focus = theirpilot, funcname = "function"}) -- Triggers when theirpilot is detected by the playerhook.timer(0.5, "proximityScan", {anchor = theirpilot, focus = mypilot, funcname = "function"}) -- Triggers when mypilot is detected by theirpilot
