as belidos already linked the example script can be found in the post, basically the function works in the same way as the normal functions from global.lua, you can copy the function into your global.lua file (note it will get removed each time the file is updated or verified) or you can simply paste it to the bottom of any script that needs it (only need to do it once per map)
function facing_init_name(e,name)
weapon_name[e] = name
end
function facing_main(e)
if PlayerLooking(e,600,5) == 1 then
PromptLocal(e,"player looking at "..weapon_name[e])
end
end
function facing_exit(e)
end
function PlayerLooking(e,dis,v)
if g_Entity[e] ~= nil then
if dis == nil then
dis = 3000
end
if v == nil then
v = 0.5
end
if GetPlayerDistance(e) <= dis then
local destx = g_Entity[e]['x'] - g_PlayerPosX
local destz = g_Entity[e]['z'] - g_PlayerPosZ
local angle = math.atan2(destx,destz)
angle = angle * (180.0 / math.pi)
if angle <= 0 then
angle = 360 + angle
elseif angle > 360 then
angle = angle - 360
end
while g_PlayerAngY < 0 or g_PlayerAngY > 360 do
if g_PlayerAngY <= 0 then
g_PlayerAngY = 360 + g_PlayerAngY
elseif g_PlayerAngY > 360 then
g_PlayerAngY = g_PlayerAngY - 360
end
end
local L = angle - v
local R = angle + v
if L <= 0 then
L = 360 + L
elseif L > 360 then
L = L - 360
end
if R <= 0 then
R = 360 + R
elseif R > 360 then
R = R - 360
end
if (L < R and math.abs(g_PlayerAngY) > L and math.abs(g_PlayerAngY) < R) then
return 1
elseif (L > R and (math.abs(g_PlayerAngY) > L or math.abs(g_PlayerAngY) < R)) then
return 1
else
return 0
end
else
return 0
end
end
end
now your request requires more than my basic function can give but if you added x and z angles it should work ok.
