Direction and Posistion Relitive To An Entity.

[TalkingGoose]

So, I am designing an E2 that is meant to creep people out, And so far, I have been able to make it so that, If you turn around it goes/stops but I have not been able to figure out how to make a function execute when the target is behind the entity.

I figured it had something to do with:

if(!inrange(Target:pos,Stalker:forward()*-250,Stalker:forward*-1)
{
////Moarcodehere
}

Because I made holo's at those two locations to see where the range was looking but the code didn't execute.

Also, As far as I can see, That would only work if the target was within a certain distance behind the entity "Stalker"...

So, Has anyone got any suggestions as to what I should do?

Any help is appreciated, Thanks.

if(inrange(Target:toLocal(Stalker:pos()), vec(-20,-40,0),vec(20,0,0))
{
    # Stalker is behind the target
    if(inrange(Target:toLocal(Stalker:angles():yaw()), -30,30))
    {
        # Stalker is more or less facing the target
    }
}

I think you forgot :yaw()

I think you forgot :yaw()

Fix'd

Okay, what you did to check if 'Target' was facing in the direction of the 'Stalker' was better than my way for checking...
Buuuutttttt...

if(inrange(Target:toLocal(Stalker:pos()), vec(-20,-40,0),vec(20,40,0))
{

}

seems to return whether the 'Target' is within a certain distance on the X & Y axis, not whether the 'Target' is behind the 'Stalker'.

Thanks for the other code though.

Whoops, check updated code.

Still seems to only be true when you are in a range, and is still sometimes true when you are in front of it.

Would it help if I posted my code? :P
