    I was actually searching for packets and came upon this stuff. Could I figure out the Pitch and Yaw that a player is looking by using one of these gates?

    I learned recently how to find the Pitch and Yaw between two coordinates, so I wanted to make an aimbot, but in order to do that I would need to always have the laser pointer out which wouldn't work very well since I would want to shoot people too.

    I agree. Having a Wire Tool that outputs your World Coordinates, your Pitch, Yaw and Roll, and XYZ of where you are looking at would be very nice.

    You could just use it to link the tool to you, or wire it up to a Pod Controller (Kinda like a Cam Controller). I like this idea.

    Look at the existing gates before requesting... All stuff you mentioned is already in entity/player gates.

    You can already get world coordinates of players from a beacon sensor Amaroq

    So... without holding out a laser pointer, I can just walk around wherever I want, and it will output EXACTLY where I am based on World XYZ, my pitch, yaw, and roll, as well as the XYZ of the point I am looking at? Without being a pod controller? Alright, do explain.

    When did I say it will output all that other stuff I just said it will output world coordinates. You could use the delta from world coordinates and determine which direction a person is moving, which you could derive pitch and yaw from, but that is only while using no clip and moving forward.

    Currently it can output position, velocity and aiming vector that you can work out the Pitch and Yaw from. Didn't check if it outputs coordinates of the point you're looking at but I think I saw the target gate, which should output the name of your target

    Can the Entity gates have inputs to Set values on the ent? For instance, I want to use the Color gate to set the RGBA values of the entity.

    You do realise that vector gates are already there?
