This function is not documented in the Jk_specs but I think that the second parameter is the fov of an actor.

I tried to use 360 with a boxturret (boxturret4) but it doesn't work.
I used :
potential = FirstThingInView(TurretActor, 360, 7.0, 0x404);

It simply doesn't at all. The turret never sees me.
If I try 350, it only sees me when I'm in front of it.

How can I make it work ?

The FirstThingInView doesn't do more than 180 deg for some weird reason, so you have to do it twice if you want to check them all around one's self.

Thanks !
I'll try it.

Probably because if it's beyond 180 it isn't really in the thing's view.

Ah, maybe it's relative to thing's FOV set in the template.

Ah, forget it, maybe what Aglar just said is the thing.

270 is the highest i got

Hum... Don't think it's the thing limitation. A boxTurret has a fov of 360 in the ai file.

I created a ghost looking back and it works fine now.

But in many MotS' cogs, I've found FirstThingInView used with values greater than 270 (300 and 350)...

Eh, it's possible that they tweaked it for MotS.
