I've seen some of Ryosuke's mods be able to do this but I when checking out his scripts I can't find the darn thing that makes this possible. Like I say I want to get the coordinates of the place (not ped/car/object) that CJ is targeting with a weapon or something, how would I go about accomplishing this?

Urgh this stuff has me confuzzled.

There's a function which processes the line of sight (0x56BA00) - unfortunately I don't know how to use this.

I've always gone for a manual approach...

SANNY

068D: get_camera_position_to 0@ 1@ 2@
068E: get_camera_target_point_to 3@ 4@ 5@
0063: 3@ -= 0@
0063: 4@ -= 1@
0063: 5@ -= 2@
for 6@ = 1.0 to 50.0 step 1.0   // from MinDistance to MaxDistance
    005B: 0@ += 3@
    005B: 1@ += 4@
    005B: 2@ += 5@
    0087: 6@ = 0@
    0087: 7@ = 1@
    0087: 8@ = 2@
    0087: 9@ = 0@
    0087: 10@ = 1@
    0087: 11@ = 2@
    000B: 6@ += 0.5
    000B: 7@ += 0.5
    000B: 8@ += 0.5
    000F: 9@ -= 0.5
    000F: 10@ -= 0.5
    000F: 11@ -= 0.5
    if
        0339:   anything_in_cube_cornerA 8@ 9@ 10@ cornerB 6@ 7@ 8@ solid 0 car 0 actor 1 object 0 particle 0
    then
        // this is probably the furthest point in the cameras direction
        break
    end
end

for 6@ = 1.0 to 50.0 step 1.0
Then, it will inexact, right?
Also, Seeman found some function in .exe that returns coords of targeting area.

Ah, very nice! This could also help me, thanks.

[Adler]

Ooooh thanks a lot DK! This will help me a lot in future mods.

EDIT

Hmm the last parameter for that function... is that a fixed range from the coords you pass to the function? I tried it out by putting a corona to mark where the coords the function gives out is and it seems like the corona's always a set distance from where the player is (when passing the player's position to the function). Maybe I should incorporate the function into a for loop and check for obstacles like Deji's method did.

What can i say, i'm a mind reader
BTW, my game freezes after actor death with this code...

I've been waiting for a mod like this for ages. I remember seeing on the Vol-GTA forums, that Skript had made one, but someone told me that it was buggy, and wasn't going to release it. Hopefully this will be released soon

Does it also work on cars ? And custom cars ? Also, for when peds shoot as well ?

[ThirteenAG]

DK22, are you gonna release it as a mod?

I have updated a code.
And wrote a specific code for calculating X and Z angle for object on another object)

Are you going to release this DK22? I've wanted it ever since I found a thread on the forums @ VolGTA by Skript; who was trying to make something very similar.

[ThirteenAG]

I have another idea


UPD. I made a small video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=greTjyedYWU
