Hi!

is there a function like get_user_origin(index, vec, mode=3) that can disregard players?

/* Gets origin from player.
* Modes:
* 0 - current position.
* 1 - position from eyes (weapon aiming).
* 2 - end position from player position.
* 3 - end position from eyes (hit point for weapon).
* 4 - position of last bullet hit (only CS).
native get_user_origin(index, origin[3], mode = 0); */

I'm guessing that you want to find the Origin of an Entity and not a Player??

If so, the Engine Module has what you want:

from engine.inc:
-------------------
native entity_get_vector(iIndex, iKey, Float:vRetVector[3]);


from engine_const.inc:
--------------------------
enum {
EV_VEC_origin = 0,
//...
}


So now you could use these together to find the Origin of an entity, assuming that you know the ID of the entity...

new Float:fOrigin[3]
entity_get_vector( entityID, EV_VEC_origin, fOrigin )

// That will give you a Vector Origin (Float).. to convert it to Integer use:

from engine_stocks.inc:
---------------------------
/* Changes a float vec to an integer vec */
stock FVecIVec(Float:FVec[3], IVec[3])
{
IVec[0] = floatround(FVec[0])
IVec[1] = floatround(FVec[1])
IVec[2] = floatround(FVec[2])

return 1
}


So now you could do:

new nOrigin[3]
FVecIVec( fOrigin, nOrigin )

// That will make nOrigin = the interger origin of the entity!!

Hope that all helps!!

Thanks for trying to help, I think this is the one I am after...

/* Trace a line from Start(X, Y, Z) to End(X, Y, Z), will return the point hit in vReturn[3]
* and an entity index if an entity is hit. */
trace_line(iIgnoreEnt, Float:fStart[3], Float:fEnd[3], Float:vReturn[3]);

I want it because I want to send the fireball with a certain speed, and if you should point your crosshair on a player, I would have gotten the point where it hit the player, with this one, I can get the point where it hits the entity behind the player.

This would be a problem if I shot the fireball towards a player and he moved, the point where the fireball exploded on, was the point where the player stood, now its gonna be the entity behind the player. I dont want the fireball to explode in the air, its as simple as that.
