[Trooper[Y]]

Hey there.

I need your help.
I found some snippets with the function "IsPlayerAimingAt",
but that doesnt helps me in any way.

So, i want to get the coordinates to the position, where the player is aiming to.
I think i saw something like that before, where pickups had been created in front of the player to show the line of sight with a weapon.

Waiting for you answer,
Trooper

Got this snippet from a fs:
[code]
new Float:gtpos[50];
GetPlayerCameraPos(playerid,gtpos[0],gtpos[1],gtpos[2]);
GetPlayerCameraFrontVector(playerid,gtpos[3],gtpos[4],gtpos[5]);

for(new checkdist=0;checkdist<=50;checkdist+=10)
{
marker[playerid][checkdist] = CreatePickup(1239,23,gtpos[3]*checkdist+gtpos[0],gtpos[4]*checkdist+gtpos[1],gtpos[5]*checkdist+gtpos[2]);
}
[code]

The problem is, that its not exact, sometimes lowers, even i aimed upwards, or is too low.

replace "or" with "and"...

Can you show me your IsPlayerAimingAt function? The solution is in that command.

This is what i now got:

The problem is, that it work fine, if im not aiming somewhere...
If i use a weapon to aime somewhere, its getting wrong...

This topic should help it works for me for placing objects you would just need to edit to what you need ie, just return co-ords not create object.

Here is the code posted by simon in that topic.

new
    Float:fPX, Float:fPY, Float:fPZ,
    Float:fVX, Float:fVY, Float:fVZ,
    Float:object_x, Float:object_y, Float:object_z;

// Change this constant to the the scale you want. A larger scale increases the distance from
// the camera. A negative scale will inverse the vectors and make them face in the opposite
// direction (i.e. behind the camera)
const
    Float:fScale = 6.0; 

GetPlayerCameraPos(playerid, fPX, fPY, fPZ);
GetPlayerCameraFrontVector(playerid, fVX, fVY, fVZ);

object_x = fPX + floatmul(fVX, fScale);
object_y = fPY + floatmul(fVY, fScale);
object_z = fPZ + floatmul(fVZ, fScale);

CreateObject(345, object_x, object_y, object_z, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);

Its camera angle that effects it though not aiming.

Thats the problem.
Without aiming my other way also works.
But if i aim, its getting wrong...

When aiming with weapon, there is a offset to the FrontVector, because the camera zooms in and the player is moved a bit to the left of the screen. You can minimize the offset by adding/subtracting a specific angle to the rotation and z-angle of the FrontVector (calc the angles from the vector first with atan). Hard to explain, youll have to experiment a bit with the angles, dont know if someone else beside me did this yet.
Ive got a precise include for this, but sorry, i wont release it as long as i am working on a gm that uses it.
