Targeting with Camera

[Deep2]

I'm fairly new to scripting and would like to make a mod that when you put it in, makes the target in your camera sight follow you(AIPlayers). How would you go about targeting something with camera?

If you mean what I think you mean, try this.

Code: [Select]

%start = %obj.getEyeVec();
%vec = vectorScale(%obj.getEyeVector(), DISTANCE);
%end = vectorAdd(%start, %vec);
%raycast = containerRayCast(%start, %end, $Typemasks::PlayerObjectType);
if(isObject(%hit = getWord(%raycast, 0)))
{
   if(%hit.getClassName() $= "AIPlayer")
   {
      %hit.setMoveObject(%obj);
   }
}This will make any bot that %obj is looking at follow %obj.

Thanks, although I didnt need the whole code since I need practicing.

Oh well :D

Well, you have to put that all in a function and define the %obj. I think you should setup %obj as %client.camera. I think...

%obj is a player or bot.

%obj is a player or bot.

Well, can you get the Eye vector of the camera? The topic name says with the camera, so I assumed you meant %obj to be the client's camera.

I believe so.

If the eye vector doesn't work, try the getForwardVector.

Call "the target in your camera sight" "raycast from eye".
