A configuration option that makes the Player Detector peripheral fully localized (no `getOnlinePlayers`, `playerJoin` event etc)

[sjeulu]

Describe your idea (If you have more than one idea, please open the rest in other issues)

When enabled:

• getOnlinePlayers returns an empty table if the option is set.
• the playerJoin, playerChangedDimension and playerLeave events don't trigger unless it happens in close proximity to the peripheral
• other things which i may be not aware of that allow the peripheral to detect things happening at arbitrary distances away despite the Peripherals.Player_Detector.playerDetMaxRange config option not being set to -1, should also be disabled.

Describe alternatives you've considered if any

Disabling the peripheral entirely. Obviously not an option.

How local do you mean?
Like having a 16 block range?

Would adding the range limit to all functions in this peripheral be a valid option for you?

[sjeulu]

Yeah the range limit is what I was talking about. Many things already take Peripherals.Player_Detector.playerDetMaxRange into account and the ones mentioned above should as well.

[zyxkad]

Right now I added an configuration to just disable these events. Not sure limiting the range is a good idea.

[sjeulu]

i mean if we can track players at a distance then how is detecting when they appear/disappear any different? just one more datapoint about their movement through spacetime. but it's a good start nevertheless.
