.: Description :.
Now you can hear bullets fly by if an enemy is shooting at you. This seriously add suspense to cs.
Anyhow, I just wanted to test the new stock function KoST made for me.

.: Cvars :.
amx_bulletwhizz (D: 1) - on/off plugin
amx_bulletwhizz_dis (D: 35) - max distance to hear the whizz sound

Good job again. Like the origionality/realism.

I like it. Makes the game more interesting to play, and helps you out if you are getting shot at.

Small update.

Btw, this is not useless

are u using fm_is_ent_visible because of this case?

Code:

|

|  o <- Victim

|

|

-------------------(Wall)

<Aim>

|

|

|

|

|

<Me>

Code:

stock bool:is_user_visible(id, target) 
{
    new Float:myOrigin[3]
    entity_get_vector(id, EV_VEC_origin, myOrigin)
    
    new Float:fViewOfs[3]
    entity_get_vector(id, EV_VEC_view_ofs, fViewOfs)
    
    new Float:targetOrigin[3]
    entity_get_vector(target, EV_VEC_origin, targetOrigin)
    
    new Float:EyesPos[3]
    xs_vec_add(myOrigin, fViewOfs, EyesPos)

    new Float:hitOrigin[3]
    new hitIndex = trace_line(id, EyesPos, targetOrigin, hitOrigin)
    
    if(hitIndex == target) {
        return true
    }
    return false
}

As you can see that function checks whether given point is visible to an entity/player.
If point is an origin of the other player it's not visible because it's enclosed into the solid box.
So function works as it should work.

Your function should work for all solid target-entities except SOLID_TRIGGER.

EDIT:

I implemented

Code:

bool:fm_is_ent_visible(index, entity)

which compatible with all entity solidity types.
Now you can check for any entity <-> entity visiblity.

PS: I might have miss understood you. Yea I used fm_is_user_visible because of that.

[edit]

Code:

--------------<Aim>-------------- plane 1

                ^

                |

                | (me_aim vector)

                |

                |

--------------<Me>-------------- plane 2

you can imagine this like two planes which have me_aim as normal vector. this stock only returns positive values if victim is between them. no need to check for visibility i guess..

Code:

stock get_distance_to_line(Float:pos_start[3], Float:pos_end[3], Float:pos_object[3]) 
{ 
    new Float:vec_start_end[3], Float:vec_start_object[3], Float:vec_end_object[3], Float:vec_end_start[3]
    xs_vec_sub(pos_end, pos_start, vec_start_end) // vector from start to end
    xs_vec_sub(pos_object, pos_start, vec_start_object) // vector from end to object
    xs_vec_sub(pos_start, pos_end, vec_end_start) // vector from end to start
    xs_vec_sub(pos_end, pos_object, vec_end_object) // vector object to end
    
    new Float:len_start_object = getVecLen(vec_start_object)
    new Float:angle_start = floatacos(xs_vec_dot(vec_start_end, vec_start_object) / (getVecLen(vec_start_end) * len_start_object), degrees) 
    new Float:angle_end = floatacos(xs_vec_dot(vec_end_start, vec_end_object) / (getVecLen(vec_end_start) * getVecLen(vec_end_object)), degrees) 

    if(angle_start <= 90.0 && angle_end <= 90.0)
        return floatround(len_start_object * floatsin(angle_start, degrees))
    return -1 
}

it checks if alpha and beta are <=90 degrees if c is victim. if one of them is larger then we are outside the planes.

Works perfectly.

Thanks. 8)
