I'm trying to set the velocity of an entity that is launched from another ( non-player ) entity, according to the launching entity's angles.

I tried playing around with this snippet found in the wiki, but couldn't get it to work:

new Float:vAngles[3] // plug in the view angles of the entity 
new Float:vReturn[3] // to get out an origin fDistance away 
new Float:fDistance = 400.0 // fDistance being the distance from the entity of your choice 
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

And Ideas?

If launcher is a player, use velocity_by_aim(playerindex, flSpeed, vecVelocity)

Sorry if I was unclear - the launching entity is not a player.

Use angles then, not v_angle.

Try :

PHP Code:

Velocity_By_Aim( index , Float:flSpeed, Float:flVelocity[3] )
{
    new Float:angles[3], Float:dummy[3]
    pev(index, pev_angles, angles)
    engfunc(EngFunc_AngleVectors, angles, flVelocity, dummy, dummy)
    xs_vec_mul_scalar(flVelocity, flSpeed, flVelocity)
}

Thankyou, works perfect.
