Hey , I was wonderin if there is any way that you can program it so if someone is looking right at you it would do something ?

if(HasLOS)
{
//turn his face off...etc
}

Errr kind of but what i'm talking about heki is kind of like

if(getthinglookpos(player, (VectorScale(Vectorx)

type stuff ...

So, what do you want to accomplish, and btw the above code isn't right, it should be.

if(HasLOS(player, victim))
{
//do whatever
}

Well what i really want to acclopish is where the person it looking ... not when the person is looking at someone

lookingDir = VectorSub(GetThingPos(victim), GetThingPos(player));

Err maybe you don't get the point but it's nothing to do with any victim or something like that

I want it to know when the player looks in a differnt dirrection , and how much by ....

You mean just

GetThingLVec(player);

?

Yes thats a help , I saw that but I thought to my self is it really that easy

anyway , could you tell me how you would put that into a varible

like ...

vector lookvec

lookvec=GetThingLVec(player);

I tryed that but when i did this below to try to make it spit out the numbers , it just came up with -1

jkstringclear();
jkStringConcatInt(lookvec);
jkStringOutput();

Help ?

Because it's a vector

Instead use

jkStringConcatVector(lookvec);

lol thanks man

Theres only one more problem , it won't detect when you look up and down

Is there anything to detect this

I tried

upvec=VectorZ(GetThingLVec(player);

But it turned out to be a bad vector.

Help ?

You made the "upvec" a flex variable?
And you're missing a ")" in that code.

VectorZ is only a flex.

GetThingLVec() won't give how a player is looking up and down because only the head looks up and down, not the entire player.

You need to FireProjectile() with an offset instead. Do it the same way I showed you on the RBots forum, but in this case you should use an offset of '0 0.1 0'. Then use VectorSub(GetThingPos(ghost), GetThingPos(player)) to get the vector.

Straight from Millennium's Cog Specs :

ThingViewDot():

Gets how much a thing is facing to another thing. For example it will return 1, if the thing is directly looking at the other thing. -1 if it's facing 180deg away from the other thing. 0 for looking to both sides from the other thing. And all the other directions are between -1 to 1. Use : ThingViewDot(LookingThing, TargetThing); returns flex.

-Jipe

If it's for MotS, here's something that does it.

x = VectorX(GetThingLVec(player));
y = VectorY(GetThingLVec(player));
z = GetThingJointAngle(player, 1) / 40;

SetThingLook(otherThing, VectorSet(x, y, z));

This will get the pitch as well.
No such verb in JK.
