Closest player

[Shred18]

I need some code to find the closest player to a thing, out of all the players in a multiplayer game. :)

Well, I'm 4 months out of practice, but something like the following should do the trick:
potential = 0;
victim = GetPlayerThing(0);
while(potential < GetNumPlayers())
{
if(VectorDist(GetThingPos(thisthing), GetThingPos(GetPlayerThing(potential))) < VectorDist(GetThingPos(thisthing), GetThingPos(victim))) victim = GetPlayerThing(potential);
potential = potential + 1;
}
"thisthing" is the thing you're checking the distance from.
