Players

Functions

anyPlayerHoldingItem

anyPlayerHoldingItem(): boolean

Helper function to check to see if any player is holding up an item (from e.g. an active item activation, a poop from IBS, etc.).

Returns

boolean

Defined in

packages/isaacscript-common/src/functions/players.ts:26


anyPlayerIs

anyPlayerIs(...matchingCharacters): boolean

Helper function to determine if the given character is present.

This function is variadic, meaning that you can supply as many characters as you want to check for. Returns true if any of the characters supplied are present.

Parameters

NameType
...matchingCharactersreadonly PlayerType[]

Returns

boolean

Defined in

packages/isaacscript-common/src/functions/players.ts:37


canPlayerCrushRocks

canPlayerCrushRocks(player): boolean

Helper function to determine if a player will destroy a rock/pot/skull if they walk over it.

The following situations allow for this to be true:

  • the player has Leo (collectible 302)
  • the player has Thunder Thighs (collectible 314)
  • the player is under the effects of Mega Mush (collectible 625)
  • the player has Stompy (transformation 13)

Parameters

NameType
playerEntityPlayer

Returns

boolean

Defined in

packages/isaacscript-common/src/functions/players.ts:55


dequeueItem

dequeueItem(player): boolean

Helper function to remove a collectible or trinket that is currently queued to go into a player's inventory (i.e. the item is being held over their head).

If the player does not have an item currently queued, then this function will be a no-op.

Returns whether an item was actually dequeued.

Under the hood, this clones the QueuedItemData, since directly setting the Item field to undefined does not work for some reason.

Parameters

NameType
playerEntityPlayer

Returns

boolean

Defined in

packages/isaacscript-common/src/functions/players.ts:77


getAzazelBrimstoneDistance

getAzazelBrimstoneDistance(playerOrTearHeight): float

Helper function to get how long Azazel's Brimstone laser should be. You can pass either an EntityPlayer object or a tear height stat.

The formula for calculating it is: 32 - 2.5 * tearHeight

Parameters

NameType
playerOrTearHeightfloat | EntityPlayer

Returns

float

Defined in

packages/isaacscript-common/src/functions/players.ts:96

Returns

readonly PlayerType[]

Defined in

packages/isaacscript-common/src/functions/players.ts:107


getClosestPlayer

getClosestPlayer(position): EntityPlayer

Helper function to get the closest player to a certain position. Note that this will never include players with a non-undefined parent, since they are not real players (e.g. the Strawman Keeper).

Parameters

NameType
positionVector

Returns

EntityPlayer

Defined in

packages/isaacscript-common/src/functions/players.ts:117


getFinalPlayer

getFinalPlayer(): EntityPlayer

EntityPlayer | undefined

The first player found when iterating upwards from index 0.

Defined in

packages/isaacscript-common/src/functions/players.ts:175


getPlayerFromEntity

getPlayerFromEntity(entity): EntityPlayer | undefined

Helper function to get the player from a tear, laser, bomb, etc. Returns undefined if the entity does not correspond to any particular player.

This function works by looking at the Parent and the SpawnerEntity fields (in that order). As a last resort, it will attempt to use the Entity.ToPlayer method on the entity itself.

Parameters

NameType
entityEntity

Returns

EntityPlayer | undefined

Defined in

packages/isaacscript-common/src/functions/players.ts:193


getPlayerFromPtr

getPlayerFromPtr(entityPtr): EntityPlayer | undefined

Parameters

NameType
entityPtrEntityPtr

Returns

EntityPlayer | undefined

Defined in

packages/isaacscript-common/src/functions/players.ts:225


getPlayerName

getPlayerName(player): string

Helper function to get the proper name of the player. Use this instead of the EntityPlayer.GetName method because it accounts for Blue Baby, Lazarus II, and Tainted characters.

Parameters

NameType
playerEntityPlayer

Returns

string

Defined in

packages/isaacscript-common/src/functions/players.ts:241


getPlayerNumHitsRemaining

getPlayerNumHitsRemaining(player): int

Returns the combined value of all of the player's red hearts, soul/black hearts, and bone hearts, minus the value of the player's rotten hearts.

This is equivalent to the number of hits that the player can currently take, but does not take into account double damage from champion enemies and/or being on later floors. (For example, on Womb 1, players who have 1 soul heart remaining would die in 1 hit to anything, even though this function would report that they have 2 hits remaining.)

playerEntityPlayer

Returns

int

Defined in

packages/isaacscript-common/src/functions/players.ts:259
