I'm trying to work out how to get the look vector of a particular mesh, rather than of the actual player or actor. I want to find out where the rhand mesh is pointing.

Any ideas?

Thanks...

Well the rhand is always pointing to where the player is looking ? , or else if it's pointing a bit away , just minis it off the player vector look.

No, I mean where the rhand mesh is pointing at any point in time. When there is a key playing that moves the mesh, ie: saber moves etc, it will not be pointing in the players look vector at all. This is what I'm trying to work out.

And why are you trying to get the vector?
JK I think is too old to handle any meshes, there is no command to that touches meshes, except the model itself

But there is a command to get the Joint Angle for a model for MotS

Ok, I've got an idea to recreate the saber system for the bots. I'm trying to replace the existing hack which just fires a projectile roughly where the saber swings. It just plain doesn't work.

If I can work out exactly where the rhand mesh is pointing, I can get the cog to continuously fire an invisible projectile with a short range. When the bot swings the saber, any part of the saber that hits the victim, will cause damage.

Easy enough idea, I just need to work out how.

Thanks...

GetThingJointAngle(thing,int_joint-num);

that verb is from MotS though
