Hello.
Can someone explain me how to change entity angles?

My code:

PHP Code:

    new ent = create_entity("info_target")
    
    entity_set_string( ent, EV_SZ_classname, CLS )
    entity_set_model( ent, MDL )

    new Float:pOrigin[3]
    entity_get_vector( id, EV_VEC_origin, pOrigin )
    pOrigin[2] += 36

    static const Float: mins[ 3 ] = { -5.0, -90.0, -156.0 }
    static const Float: maxs[ 3 ] = { 5.0, 90.0, 156.0 }

    entity_set_size( ent, mins, maxs )
    entity_set_origin( ent, pOrigin )

    entity_set_int( ent, EV_INT_solid, SOLID_BBOX )
    entity_set_int( ent, EV_INT_movetype, MOVETYPE_FLY )

    new Float:vRetVector[3]
    entity_get_vector( id, EV_VEC_v_angle, vRetVector )
    vRetVector[0] = 0.0
    vRetVector[2] = 0.0
    
    entity_set_vector( ent, EV_VEC_angles, vRetVector ) 


Code above not work, only yaw of the entity model is changed.
Entity (a box) don't moves.

Sorry for my bad english.

PHP Code:

            static Float:fAngles[3]
            fAngles[0]= 0.0 // pitch
            fAngles[1]= 0.0 // yaw
            fAngles[2]= 0.0 // roll
            
            entity_set_vector( id, EV_VEC_angles, fAngles )
            entity_set_int( id, EV_INT_fixangle, 1 ) 


Engine way of setting pitch yaw and roll

Thanks you for attempted, but not work.

I tried to use this code:

PHP Code:

    new Float:vRetVector[3]
    
    //entity_get_vector( id, EV_VEC_angles, vRetVector )

    entity_get_vector( id, EV_VEC_angles, vRetVector )
    vRetVector[0] = 0.0
    vRetVector[2] = 0.0
    
    entity_set_vector( ent, EV_VEC_angles, vRetVector )
    entity_set_int( ent, EV_INT_fixangle, 1 ) 


It distorts the size of the entity. Transforms the box to a point.

Sorry for my bad english.

I think you need to change EV_VEC_angles and EV_VEC_v_angles, both of them.

Can you show me a example? Thanks.

PHP Code:

set_pev(g_entityGodview, pev_angles, Float:{90.0, 0.0, 0.0})
set_pev(g_entityGodview, pev_v_angle, Float:{90.0, 0.0, 0.0})
set_pev(g_entityGodview, pev_punchangle, 1.0) 


Works in my code.

Not work.
I don't understand why...

How i create entity:

PHP Code:

    new wall = create_entity("info_target")

    entity_set_model( wall, "models/wall.mdl" )

    new Float:pOrigin[3]
    entity_get_vector( id, EV_VEC_origin, pOrigin )
    pOrigin[2] += 36

    entity_set_origin( wall, pOrigin )

    entity_set_int( wall, EV_INT_solid, SOLID_TRIGGER )
    entity_set_int( wall, EV_INT_movetype, MOVETYPE_FLY )

    new Float:vRetVector[3]

    entity_get_vector( id, EV_VEC_v_angle, vRetVector )
    vRetVector[0] = 0.0
    
    entity_set_vector( wall, EV_VEC_angles, vRetVector )

    //Which side is thicker? +X and -X or +Y and -Y
    if( ( (vRetVector[1] >= 45.0) && (vRetVector[1] <= 135.0) ) || ( (vRetVector[1] >= -135.0) && (vRetVector[1] <= -45.0) ) )
    {
        entity_set_size( wall, Float:{-16.0,-5.0,-72.0}, Float:{16.0,5.0,72.0} )
    }
    else
    {
        entity_set_size( wall, Float:{-5.0,-16.0,-72.0}, Float:{5.0,16.0,72.0} )
    } 


How i try to change angles:

PHP Code:

    new Float:vRetVector[3]
    new Float:vVector[3]
    
    entity_get_vector( id, EV_VEC_v_angle, vVector )
    entity_get_vector( id, EV_VEC_angles, vRetVector )

    //Pitch
    vRetVector[0] = 0.0
    vVector[0] = 0.0

    //Fix float values ( 125.6574 -> 125.0 )
    //Yaw
    new vecVA = floatround(vVector[1])
    vVector[1] = float(vecVA)
    new vecV = floatround(vRetVector[1])
    vRetVector[1] = float(vecV)

    //Fakemeta way - don't work
    set_pev( wall, pev_angles, vRetVector )
    set_pev( wall, pev_v_angle, vVector )
    set_pev( wall, pev_punchangle, 1.0 )
    
    //Engine way - don't work
    // entity_set_vector( wall, EV_VEC_angles, vRetVector )
    // entity_set_vector( wall, EV_VEC_v_angle, vVector )
    //entity_set_int( wall, EV_INT_fixangle, 1 ) 


Only the model angles changed.
The entity angles remain the same ( thicker +X -X or +Y - Y ).

Other ideas?

Sorry for my bad english.

Try reading this. Also for testing use (TE_)BeamEntity. Draw a Beam from Entity origin to world origin you will understand more clearly.
