Improve getMonstersInFront () by lenght,width of beam

[zakne11]

Tried done it my self but don't have enough knowledge to make it work (you can use it as idea)

 

local function getMonstersInFrontNew(width,length)
  if not g_game.isOnline() then return end

  local width = 2
  local length = 5
  local MonstersInRange = 0
  local direction = g_game.getLocalPlayer():getDirection()

  if direction == 0 then
    local width = width
    local length = -length
  end

  if direction == 1
    local width = length
    local length = width
  end

  if direction == 2
    local width = width
    local length = length
  end

  if direction == 3 then
    local width = length
    local length = -width
  end

  for _, creature in pairs(g_game.getCreatures()) do
    if creature:isMonster() and creature:getPosition():isInRange(g_game.getLocalPlayer():getPosition(), length, width) then
     MonstersInRange = MonstersInRange + 1
    end
    return MonstersInRange
  end

end

 

Tried also without success

local function getMonstersIn6x3beam()  

 if not g_game.isOnline() then return end
 if not g_game.isAttacking() or not g_game.getAttackingCreature() then return 0 end

local direction = g_game.getLocalPlayer():getDirection()
local MonstersInRange = 0
    local monsters = 0
