Is there anyway to invert a bounding box detection with .getPlayers(); | Bedrock Add-Ons | Page 1

I'm kinda just not sure how to do this right now.

Fyi I have this currently

world.getDimension('overworld').getPlayers(
        {
            location: { x: -2, y: 1, z: -2 },
            volume: { x: 4, y: 4, z: 3.5 },
        })

Your goal is to get players outside the bounding box?

Not very efficient but you could getAllPlayers() and then removes the ones in the box

Hm maybe

That's about the best way to do it. Wouldn't be too complicated—assuming a uniform player hitbox size, you could filter the array like this:

const loc = {x: -2, y: 1, z: -2};
const vol = {x: 4, y: 4, z: 3.5};
const outsidePlayers = world.getDimension('overworld').getPlayers({
  location: loc
}).filter(player => 
  player.location.x + 0.3 < loc.x &&
  player.location.x - 0.3 > loc.x + vol.x &&
  player.location.y + 1.8 < loc.y &&
  player.location.y > loc.y + vol.y &&
  player.location.z + 0.3 < loc.z &&
  player.location.z - 0.3 > loc.z + vol.z
});

#

There is probably a cleaner way to write that using more arithmetic but I wouldn't know it
