this will find out who you are pointing at, it's really simple.... read the bit at the top to find out how....
it's maybe not the ost proffetional way of doing it, but it works pretty well.
`this will find out who you are pointing at....
`its pretty simple...say you make 4 enemies, each enemy has a cube..
`the cubes are positioned at the camera and hidden, they each point to an enemy...
`if the camera's angle is roughly the same as one of the cubes then that would
`mean that you are pointing at one of the enemies, then it simple tells you who.....
`i just put it on the forums coz i thought it would be usefull, you can
`use it from free, i dont need any credit :)
