How to create an event to display players position ?

[Glucoz]

Hey guys,

I've setup a PVP server with my friends.
Because it's an 8K map we don't cross each other's path as often as we would like to ;-)

I saw RAT allows to create custom event.
I was wondering if it would be possible to run an event maybe once a day (in game time) to display the current position of all connected players.

How would I go setting this up ?

There wouldn't be a way to do this as there is no loop to display that information from within RAT.

Hi Trekkan,
When I use the command "listents" I do get a listof all entities (including players) and their current position. So I guess in a way the information I need is present, but I do not know how to retrieve it from within RAT.

Yeah, you can't do that within RAT. Ultimately that's what the JSON player position output files were for, so that the data was there, but it'd be up to someone else to figure out what exactly they want to do with that data. Such as @badplayer 's parser he wrote for RAT 2 that would take that data and tell you who was within a radius of a position at a specific time.
