[not an issue] help about polyzone

thanks

Well EntityZones already have offset and scale options, since it inherits from BoxZone (BoxZone options), but honestly if you're using qtarget anyways, why not just target the object or model? Feel like creating a polyzone to target is just an extra step and will be less accurate as well compared to targeting the object or model directly.

well qtarget relies on PolyZone
test1 = GetClosestObjectOfType(482.2, -999.4, 30.8, 1.0, 165994623, false, false, false)
iam getting the HashID from the door and with

exports.qtarget:AddEntityZone("test", test1, {
		debugPoly=true,
		useZ = true
		}, {
	options = {
		{
			icon = 'fas fa-shopping-basket',
			
			label = "test",
			action = function()
		
			end
		},
	},distance = 2.5
})

i add a zone to the entity (it moves when i open the door) so iam telling qtarget to add a zone.

local function AddEntityZone(name, entity, options, targetoptions)
	Zones[name] = EntityZone:Create(entity, options)
	Zones[name].targetoptions = targetoptions
end
exports('AddEntityZone', AddEntityZone)

is from qtarget and tells PolyZone to create a EntityZone

function EntityZone:Create(entity, options)
  local zone = EntityZone:new(entity, options)
  _initDebug(zone, options)
  return zone
end

then

function EntityZone:new(entity, options)
  assert(DoesEntityExist(entity), "Entity does not exist")

  local min, max = GetModelDimensions(GetEntityModel(entity))
  local dimensions = {min, max}

  local length = max.y - min.y
  local width = max.x - min.x
  local pos = GetEntityCoords(entity)

  local zone = BoxZone:new(pos, length, width, options)
  if options.useZ == true then
    options.minZ, options.maxZ = _calculateMinAndMaxZ(entity, dimensions, zone.scaleZ, zone.offsetZ, pos)
  else
    options.minZ = nil
    options.maxZ = nil
  end
  zone.entity = entity
  zone.dimensions = dimensions
  zone.useZ = options.useZ
  zone.damageEventHandlers = {}
  zone.isEntityZone = true
  setmetatable(zone, self)
  self.__index = self
  return zone
end

so in the code above line with "local pos = GetEntityCoords(entity)" i think there should the offset happen

I'm pretty sure qtarget only relies on PolyZone if you are registering BoxZone, CircleZone, or EntityZone targets. You can also use it with entities and models, seen in the docs here:

https://overextended.github.io/qtarget/entity
https://overextended.github.io/qtarget/model

These seem like they'd work better for your use case. But regardless of whether you use them, as I already said, EntityZones and BoxZones already support offset and scale options.

i was just confused because here: https://github.com/mkafrin/PolyZone/wiki/EntityZone these not listed as options.

[mkafrin]

If you read right above EntityZone options, it states that EntityZone inherits all but a couple of BoxZone's options.
