Modification Help / Help with discerning a brick's position
« on: March 26, 2011, 02:19:32 PM »
Basically, look at a brick, type a server command, and have the coordinates of a brick presented to you.
Lilboarder's attempt (modified by me) worked perfectly, but only for basepates. Otherwise, the function did not seem able to find the object.
Iban's attempt was a lot more cleaned up and user friendly, although it didn't work at all. Everytime I called the function, I would always get "Look at a brick, dummy". After some testing, I determined that the function never actually found the object, for whatever reason.
Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Code: [Select]
function servercmdobjtest(%client)
{
ClientCmdCenterPrint("You activated the function", 3);
%obj = %client.player;
%scale = vectorScale(%obj.getEyeVector(),100);
%ray = containerRaycast(%obj.getEyePoint(),%scale,$Typemasks::fxBrickObjectType);
%brick = firstWord(%ray);
messageClient(%client,'',%brick.getPosition());
ClientCmdCenterPrint("It probably didn't work", 3);
