i searched but i could not find anything. can anyone tell me how to set pev_v_angle of a player on an entity?

[Alka]

You can't. On ents you must use pev_angle .

i do not want to change an entitys angle. i want to make a player looking at an entity. i thought i just need to use fm_get_brush_entity_origin and then change the players pev_v_angle but it didnt work either.

Hum, just today i thought of somehting like this, dunno how it can be done, but i think there might be a way...i will search

i might be misunderstanding you but I think this is what you are wanting (just ignore me if it isnt)

PHP Code:

// base via chr_engine from ghw_chronic
stock set_user_aim(id,  target)
{
    if (pev_valid(id) && pev_valid(target))
    {
        static a, Float:ent_origin[3], Float:origin[3], Float:v_length, Float:aim_vector[3], Float:new_angles[3];
        pev(id, pev_origin, ent_origin);
        pev(target, pev_origin, origin);

        for (a = 0;a < 3; a++) 
            origin[a] -= ent_origin[a];
        v_length = vector_length(origin);
        for (a = 0;a < 3; a++) 
            aim_vector[a] = origin[a] / v_length;

        vector_to_angle(aim_vector, new_angles);
        new_angles[0] *= -1;

        if(new_angles[1] > 180.0) new_angles[1] -= 360;
        else if(new_angles[1] <- 180.0) new_angles[1] += 360;
        else if(new_angles[1] == 180.0 || new_angles[1] == -180.0) new_angles[1] = -179.999999;

        set_pev(id, pev_angles, new_angles);
        set_pev(id, pev_v_angle, new_angles);
        set_pev(id, pev_fixangle, 1);
        
        return 1;
    }
    return 0;
