Hey all you FPS Creators!

I was just curious to know if anyone has seen/heard of/created any script that will force the player to face a certain entity or position, which can be triggered by a trigger zone or any form of activation? So, when the player enters a certain zone, the script forces the screen to rotate to the position of a certain entity, most likely outlined in the specific script.

I know how precise this sounds, and am unsure as to it's difficulty in creation of use, but it would serve as a GREAT addition to my current project.

Thank you in advance to any advice which could be provided!

Woody

Plrpointatobject= Points the player at the entity. x defines a y offset.

This is a vanilla fpsc 118 action.

It actually does work.
add it in the main ai script of the entity you want to use to have the player look at.

I just use these in objects that I spawn, so when the object spawns it turns the player toward that object.

So, I have an entilty called "look" which spawns when you go into a trigger zone.
This is the main script of "look".



Any idea why this doen't work? The entity doesn't even spawn (and I have check the trigger).

What an idiot! Part of the problem was that my spawing entity was in mid air!
However, while the entity is now spawning the "plrpointatobject" bit is not working so......

The "plrpointatobect" must be called by the entity you want to look at.

Think of the command saying "look at me! look at me!".

Have you tried removing the "=look" part - this bit is not needed.

plrpointatobject=x

x is the camera y offset, that's what it says in the manual. I've tested it and it works you don't use words or entity names or nothing you use:

plrpointatobject=1
or
plrpointatobject=10
or
plrpointatobject=-17
or
plrpointatobject=50

get it now?

also it's a good idea to activate this at the same time as the player enters a triggerzone that disables him

I appear to have burst into flames...

Also I looked in my manual and plrpointatobject isn't in the action index

it might be in v117, but v118 has it for sure. If you want maximum scripting commands look up 119 or 1.19 for the beta on the forum

Is there a way to have this animate the camera? I notice it quickly moves the players view to an object but doesn't move the players view to the object it just jumps to it.
