Title: Looking at objects
Post by: seanver on 29 Oct 2002, 21:50:30

Is there any way to know if a unit is looking at an object? Or at a direction, such as a range between 270 and 300 degrees, for example.

 I'll explain what I want to do. I want the player to be able to execute an action if he's looking at an object. But he must be looking at it, so only a trigger with a small size is not enough. I need him to be seeing it, and besides (I know how to do that) he must be close enough. Ideas? Suggestions? An example mission?  ::)

I'm not sure how to tell if someone is looking at something, but you can tell what direction the person is looking.  Use the getDir command.

_dir = getDir player1

? (_dir > 270 and _dir < 300) : Do Something

Thanks! I think that's enough, since the player will be in a room, the object's direction will be the same for the player at any position.
