What is/are the mathematical formula(s) for getting the origin directly in front of the player?

Try this:

Code:
public get_oriented_origin(id,Float:fDistance)
{
	new Float:nOrigin[3]
	new Float:vAngles[3] // plug in the view angles of the entity
	new Float:vReturn[3] // to get out an origin fDistance away


	entity_get_vector(id,EV_VEC_origin,nOrigin)
	entity_get_vector(id,EV_VEC_v_angles,vAngles)
	
	vReturn[0] = floatcos( vAngles[1], degrees ) * fDistance
	vReturn[1] = floatsin( vAngles[1], degrees ) * fDistance
	vReturn[2] = floatsin( -vAngles[0], degrees ) * fDistance 

	vReturn[0] =+ nOrigin[0]
	vReturn[1] =+ nOrigin[1]
	vReturn[2] =+ nOrigin[2]

	return 1;
}
It may or may not work. First, it gets the angles and gets the vector direction they are looking in, multiplies it to get a specific distance, and then adds it to their origin.

Give it a shot.
