OBJECT FACING POS [ L00K ] - Kyle - 15.10.2011

How can I get the object to face the next object?



If I have the x,y,z of the next object, what axis to I take to set the rot on the previous object to face the next?

Thanks

Kyle

This screenie is with only the Y rot set:



As you can see some are correct pre done, but even if I do set the Z, it's going to be out again where others will be fine and others not as if I use like SetObjectFacingPos it makes them all go wacky.

New Float, Float:y, Float:z; GetPlayerPos(playerid, x, y, z);
New Float:a, GetPlayerFactingAngle(playerid, a);
CreateObject(objid, x, y, z, a..);

How can this be fixed?

some objects by default don't point in 0 angle on z axis, so you need to adjust all axes properly..

But how should I know the angles and how to calculate them when I'm not a mathmatical genius.

Guys, is there a way to check where the next arrow is heading, so, if the next arrow is infront face it infront, or if its going to the left face it left?

That image is with NO rotational axis being set, the image below sets the Z rotational angle using this function:

When that function is used to face the node to the next one this what happens, some work some don't:



I need a way to only do certain ones, maybe like check if the next node is going left, right, up or down. Then decide where to face?

Check the useful functions topic, on page 256 you'll see my function or on 257-268 you'll see ryders (I recommend ryders)
