Hello,

I want to change the viewing angles of a given client, that he looks to my own absolute position ...

PHP Code:

public SetClientLookAtMe( me , client ) {
    new Float:myPosition[3];
    new Float:hisPosition[3];
    new Float:newAngle[3];
    
    GetClientAbsOrigin(me,myPosition);
    GetClientAbsOrigin(client,hisPosition);
    
    /*
        how can i calculate the angles from the two positions,
        that the client looks/aims to me ?
    */
    
    TeleportEntity(client, NULL_VECTOR, newAngle, NULL_VECTOR);
} 


any ideas how to code this? :-/

thx in advance

GetClientAbsOrigin : Below the client. Where he's standing.
also wouldn't SetClientViewEntity work? I never used this stock so I don't really know.

I haven't worked with vectors in a while, but I believe you could just do:

PHP Code:

new Float:temp[3];
MakeVectorFromPoints(myPosition, hisPosition, temp);
GetVectorAngles(temp, newAngle); 


And then just use TeleportEntity like you did in your post. If it doesn't work right, try switching the two position vectors in the MakeVectorFromPoints function.

bl4nk you are my hero ... thanks a lot ...

here is the working code:

PHP Code:

public SetClientLookAtMe( me , client ) { 
    new Float:myPosition[3]; 
    new Float:hisPosition[3]; 
    new Float:newAngle[3]; 
     
    GetClientAbsOrigin(me,myPosition); 
    GetClientAbsOrigin(client,hisPosition); 
    
    new Float:temp[3];
    MakeVectorFromPoints(hisPosition,myPosition,temp);
    GetVectorAngles(temp,newAngle);
    
    //looking to the top --> 0 > newAngle[0] > -90.0
    if ( newAngle[0] > 90.0 ) {
        newAngle[0] = (360.0-newAngle[0])*-1.0;
        if ( newAngle[0] < -90.0 ) newAngle[0] = -89.9;
    }
     
    TeleportEntity(client, NULL_VECTOR, newAngle, NULL_VECTOR); 
}
