Hi All,
currently experimenting with some stuff in LUA.

I want to know if theres a command or a way to get the entity's index based on its obj value, the one stored in the g_Entity global. So in the screen shot it would be something like this (I'm guessing):

g_Entity[3]['obj'] = 70003

so if I know that the value is 70003, using the ObjectPlayerLookingAt() function in AmenMoses' utillib.lua, how can I then find out what it's index is?

Basically I am trying to find out how far the current entity being looked at is away from the player, maybe something like this: g_Entity[entityID]['plrdist']

This is probably a bad/long winded solution so if anyone can offer some advice, i would very much appreciate it

Thanks

yes, look in physlib.lua as amen added a way to do it

Got it, thanks smallg, its called ObjectToEntity() in case anyone is wondering

If ObjectPlayerLookingAt() returns an object id you can use:

local rayX = GetIntersectCollisionX()
local rayY = GetIntersectCollisionY()
local rayZ = GetIntersectCollisionZ()

to get the contact point of the raycast.

That way you can calculate the distance to static entities as well.
