# NPC\_HasPathPointInRange

warning

This function was added in omp v1.5.8.3079 and will not work in earlier versions!

## Description

Checks if a path has any point within the specified range from given coordinates.

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| pathId | The ID of the path to check |
| x | The X coordinate of the center position |
| y | The Y coordinate of the center position |
| z | The Z coordinate of the center position |
| radius | The radius to check for path points within |

## Returns

Returns `true` if the path has at least one point within the specified range, `false` otherwise.

## Examples

```c
public OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[])
{
    if (!strcmp(cmdtext, "/checkpathpointinrange ", true, 23))
    {
        new npcid = PlayerNPC[playerid];
        if (npcid == INVALID_NPC_ID)
            return SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "You are not debugging a NPC.");

        if (!NPC_IsValid(npcid))
            return SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "Invalid NPC.");

        new pathid = strval(cmdtext[23]);

        new Float:x, Float:y, Float:z;
        GetPlayerPos(playerid, x, y, z);
        new bool:hasPoint = NPC_HasPathPointInRange(pathid, x, y, z, 50.0);

        SendClientMessage(playerid, 0x00FF00FF, "Path %d has point near your position (%.2f, %.2f, %.2f): %s", pathid, x, y, z, hasPoint ? "Yes" : "No");
        return 1;
    }
    return 0;
}
```

## Notes

-   This function is useful for checking if an NPC path intersects with a specific area or location before starting path movement
-   The function checks the 3D distance between the given position and each path point
-   Only valid paths with at least one point can return `true`
