In your event of going insane callback:

local theCharacter = <event callback data for going insane for your player's inst>
if(theCharacter.Transform)
then
    local x, y, z = theCharacter.Transform:GetWorldPosition()
    local players = FindPlayersInRange(x, y, z, (range here), true)
    for _, v in pairs(players)
    do
        if(v~=theCharacter)
        then
            if(v.components and v.components.sanity)
            then
                v.components.sanity:DoDelta(-50)
            end
        end
    end
end

Please help I did this and it crashed 

local theCharacter = <"goinsane" for "goinsane" for "adam">
if(theCharacter.Transform)
then

local players = FindPlayersInRange(x, y, z, (range here), true)
for _, v in pairs(players)
do
if(v~=theCharacter)
then
if(v.components and v.components.sanity)

Of course it crashed, you need to shove it into your event callback for going insane.

Ala:

inst:ListenForEvent("goinsane",
    function(inst)
        --The big code block above
        local theCharacter = inst
    end
)

Then change (range here) into some real floating point number for your range you want.

I did this

inst:ListenForEvent("goinsane", function(inst, data)
local theCharacter = <"goinsane" for "goinsane" for "adam"> --line 293
if(theCharacter.Transform)
then
local x, y, z = theCharacter.Transform:GetWorldPosition()
local players = FindPlayersInRange(x, y, z, (1), true)
for _, v in pairs(players)
do
if(v~=theCharacter)
then
if(v.components and v.components.sanity)
then
v.components.sanity:DoDelta(-50)
end
end
end
end
local theCharacter = inst
end)

but it says ":293: unexpected symbol near '<'" please help !!!

Lol.

inst:ListenForEvent("goinsane",
    function(inst, data)
        if(inst.Transform)
        then
            local x, y, z = inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition()
            local players = FindPlayersInRange(x, y, z, (range here), true)
            for _, v in pairs(players)
            do
                if(v~=inst)
                then
                    if(v.components and v.components.sanity)
                    then
                        v.components.sanity:DoDelta(-50)
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end
)

Put it in your character's master postinit function callback or after the pristine state/TheWorld.ismastersim check.

Though you should have already have an event listener for your character's roar sound on going insane.

My snippets generally need some minor work to get it into your code portion.

 

Also a range of 1.0 is the size of 1/4th of a turf square.
