IsPlayerFacingVehicle - my math sucks - TheRohlikar - 07.11.2018
Hey guys,
Im trying to improve my logic abilities, unfortunately Im stuck...
I've read a few lines of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atan2
But as it's said in the subject, my math sucks, so... could somebody here make the exact picture like it's on wiki, but with player standing and looking at the point?
I've made this ... (with an inspiration from https://sampforum.blast.hk/showthread.php?tid=517551 )
PHP код:
stock IsPlayerFacingVehicle(playerid, Float:vX, Float:vY){
new
Float:pX ,
Float:pY ,
Float:pZ ,
Float:pA ,
Float:aftan ,
str[36]
;
GetPlayerPos(playerid, pX, pY, pZ); GetPlayerFacingAngle(playerid, pA);
if(pX !=0.0 && pY != 0.0 && pZ != 0.0){
aftan = atan2(pX - vX, pY - vY);
format(str, sizeof(str), "pX: %f, pY: %f - vX: %f, vY: %f", pX, pY, vX, vY); SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, str);
format(str, sizeof(str), "AFTER TAN: %f", aftan); SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, str);
format(str, sizeof(str), "FACING ANGLE: %f", pA); SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, str);
pA -= aftan;
format(str, sizeof(str), "FACING ANGLE AFTER: %f", pA); SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, str);
}
return false;
}
Those numbers I get... What are they for?
Thanks
edit. I know what Player Pos is... Im trying to get through big bosses. And math is one of them.

I’m not that good at maths too, but i think you need to find ratio between vX - playerX and vY - playerY(ratio between distance to a car X, Y coordinates). Why you need to find this ratio? Because from this you can get an angle between a player and a car. Try drawing a triangle which longest line goes from player to a car(draw them as points), two shorter triangle’s lines will be just that longest’s line x, y projection. What you are trying to find is an angle which points to a car. Now try changing those x and y projections, notice how that angle changes, you should notice that there’s some pattern here. You should notice that if you make this triangle 2x times smaller, that degree doesn’t change. So that’s why we need to use ratio between x and y somehow. Basically, that’s where tan comes from. Tangent IS a ratio between those projections(and you can get this ratio from degrees, that’s tan function for you). But atan is reverse, it’s a degree which you are searching for, you input that ratio and it outputs some degrees to you. That’s how you get degrees between player and a car. Now you have to make sure that if player faces a vehicle, your degree needs to match player facing angle, if it does, you need to decide how much that angle can differ from an angle between player and vehicle(if it differs only 1 degree, you still can say that player is facing a car)... sorry for bad english and explanation, i hope this will help at least a little xd

So I tried something, I'm not great at maths, but this is the most fitting way I figured it'd be possible to do. However, this method is not accurate, there are several factors to take into consideration: the distance between the vehicle and player multiplied by the vehicle's visible ratio (zoom in, zoom out - basically), etc, etc.

Look at Nero3D's post OP quoted.
Get the world angle from the player to the car (atan2 of the Player Pos - Vehicle Pos). Then get the player's facing angle (GetPlayerFacingAngle or GetPlayerCameraFrontVector + atan2).
Then you need to subtract the angles from one another, and clamp the value to [-180.0, 180.0]. The absolute value of that number is then the angle difference in degrees, you must then decide at which angle the player would be looking at/facing the car, and at which it isn't.
