One-Entity Selective getEntitiesWithin

[shrewd rampart]

Hello there 🗿
I was doing some research in the server until i stumbled with the getEntitiesWithin. I takes every entity inside the area and i realized that you can apply filters such as ".filter(ent => ent.isPlayer())". But i was wondering, is it possible to just get one entity out of the many of the same type in the area?

[swift mist]

[0]

gets the first entity

(after the closing ))

(Im most probably incorrect, sorry im a newbie in here) So .filter(ent => ent.isPlayer())[0]?

let entities = level.getEntitiesWithin(AABB.of(player.x - area, player.y - 1.5, player.z - area, player.x + area, player.y + 1.5, player.z + area)).filter(ent => ent.isPlayer())

I got this example from a previous post

So how would the filter part be?

entities[0]

[shrewd rampart]

let entities[0] = level.getEntitiesWithin(AABB.of(player.x - area, player.y - 1.5, player.z - area, player.x + area, player.y + 1.5, player.z + area)).filter(ent => ent.isPlayer())

And it basically picks the first entity that appears when checking the area, right?

[swift mist]

let entity = level.getEntitiesWithin(blah blah).filter(ent => ent.isPlayer)[0]

or save the list to a variable then use what lexxie said
dont combine them

[swift mist]

yes, tho first is pretty random. dont expect the closest or anything. just one of them

[shrewd rampart]

I was actually wondering about that. If it picked randomly or by distance. Thanks for the response!

I will close the ticket later when i test it. Im not at my pc at the moment

Anyways, thanks for the help!
