I need a function that checks if the player is looking at a trigger. Like the UseTriggerRequireLookAt() which works for using a trigger, but I need a function that returns bool, or anything I can work with. I was thinking of may trying to work with getting angles and checking positions of the trigger and player, but I am not sure that will work or that I am capable of that kind of math, lol. I was trying to use: Code Snippet Plaintext Copy player isLookingAt(trigger); but it keeps returning 0, even when I was looking and even using the trigger. Any help with a function that works like that one sounds like it should, or what I may be doing wrong?

Player is looking at a trigger help in Scripting

init_looking(){ flag_wait("all_players_connected"); //testing with trigger use trig = getent("test", "targetname); trig.name = "trigger use"; trig thread looking(); //testing with trigger radius trigradius = getent("testradius", "targetname); trigradius.name = "trigger radius"; trigradius thread looking(); trigstruct = getstruct("teststruct", "targetname); trigstruct.name = "struct"; trigstruct thread looking(); } looking(){ players = get_players(); while(1){ for(i=0;i<players.size;i++){ if(players[i] islookingat(self)){ iprintlnbold("I see you " + self.name); }else{ iprintln("No line of sight " + self.name); } } wait(1); } }

looking(){ trigradius = getent("testradius", "targetname); trigstruct = getentt("teststruct", "targetname); trigstruct.name = "struct"; trigradius.name = "trigger radius"; players = get_players(); while(1){ for(i=0;i<players.size;i++){ if(players[i] islookingat(trigradius) || players[i] islookingat(trigradius)){ // this is an or statement. iprintlnbold("I see you " + self.name); }else{ iprintln("No line of sight " + self.name); } } wait(1); } }

Code Snippet

Plaintext

looking(){
    trigradius = getent("testradius", "targetname);
    trigstruct = getentt("teststruct", "targetname);
    trigstruct.name = "struct";
    trigradius.name = "trigger radius";
    players = get_players();
    while(1){
        for(i=0;i<players.size;i++){
            if(players[i] islookingat(trigradius) || players[i] islookingat(trigradius)){ // this is an or statement.
                iprintlnbold("I see you " + self.name);
            }else{
                iprintln("No line of sight " + self.name);
            }
        }
        wait(1);
    }
}

dont overthink things. this will check if your looking at the struct or the radius

LOL! Boy if I had a nickel for every time I heard that. I don't know if I am not explaining myself well enough or what. It probably looks like I am over thinking things because I have tried everything simpler than what I posted already. So now I am running every test I can imagine to try and get any response out of this function:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

    player islookingat(trigger);

I tried your code and it never says "I see you " and the name. Is it working for you? Do I have some other problem? I assume that this function doesn't do what it sounds like. I may need something else to tell me when a player is looking at a specific entity.

isLookingAtMe(trig){ //Called on player with a trigger entity passed in angles = vectortoAngles(trig.origin - self.origin); trigangle = angles[1]; myangle = self.angles[1]; if(trigangle > 180){ trigangle = trigangle - 360; } looking = (myangle-trigangle); if(looking>340){ looking = looking - 360; } if(looking < -340){ looking = looking + 360; } if(looking > -35 && looking < 35 ){ return 1; } return 0; }
