Hey all.

I've recently been toying with a new prototype for a possible game (if it all works out) and I've created my own 3rd person control system with an entity. Got everything working as needed. With cameras, movement and etc.

What I'm curious about is how would i get the same effect as "U.PlayerLookingAt( e, dist, ignore )" but instead of the actual Player, having it detect if the entity in this case is looking at another entity?

I also have head-tracking and need to know from what angle is another entity. Wondering if there is something like floating about the forums? I'm still playing with modifying how all this works with the player and replacing with the entity, though having a lot of troubles currently with getting results. Any help would be cool.

The problem you will have is to find out which direction the entity (I assume it is a character?) is looking.

The angle and position of a character is not related to it's eyeline!

There is a function for this btw, AIGetEntityCanSee, but I'm not sure how or if it works.

do you know the angles of the entity doing the detection? cos you can pass in ray casts pretty easily using amen's rotate function
p.s. i just placed the entity at the player's position and angle for simplicity but i still pass in the entity's values so should work with your script

I do thankfully. Gosh lots of to test out just to avoid one small issue. But its what i get for trying to do something different lol

Thanks a lot guys I'll check out all the functions and see what will work best. It appears the camera following an entity follows its attempt into walls too even if it visually doesn't go there. That's with the point camera. So I might be better off using SetAngle along with the functions you guys are mentioning.
