I'm pretty much looking for a way to:

• Force players to turn and look at a specific coordinate area/entity
• Have players be knocked back in a specific direction relating to the location of an entity/another player

Typically I could figure this out on my own but some vector calculations are still a mystery to me and would appreciate some help

Teleporting their angle will adjust view position
Makevectofrompoints / scalevector will get you a force vector between 2 pts

Theres a good amount of uses for all the vector functions
- offsetting a point of origin from an entity (probly use this the most)
- calculating velocity when given a direction
- calculating velocity required to push a physics object a given distance
- rotating two points relative to eachother (translating local/global space)

1:

// make client look at VecTarget
decl Float:vecEyePos[ 3 ];
decl Float:vecDelta[ 3 ];
decl Float:angles[ 3 ];
GetClientEyePosition( client, vecEyePos );
MakeVectorFromPoints( vecEyePos, vecTarget, vecDelta );
NormalizeVector( vecDelta, vecDelta );
GetVectorAngles( vecDelta, angles );
TeleportEntity( client, NULL_VECTOR, angles, NULL_VECTOR );

2: similar. Negate and scale vecDelta, then add it to the player's velocity. Skip the angles part.

Please don't make such condescending and unhelpful posts
