Hi,

i´ll make it short. I have a 3rd Person View. I can see my player from behind and i have a crosshair. I´m aiming with the crosshair und tracing from camera to the crosshair. It works fine so far.

If the player starts to shoot i´m tracing from the players gun to the camera´s trace target to check if there´s something between.

but the problem now is. sometimes the trace doesnt hit. I think it because it stop before the target.

Now i want to know if i can increase my Vector that the camera trace target is pushed a few quants behind it´s trace so that my player´s tracing for example into the wall.

This is my camera trace code.


And this is my player trace code.


I tried to vec_scale and vec_normalize my camera_target but i dont get it. ANy help please?

Thank you

wrote this in notepad, i think i should work but even if it doesnt i guess it gives the idea:

VECTOR tmpv;
vec_diff(tmpv, muendung.x, camera_target.x); //tmpv's now the vector from my.x to target.x
vec_normalize(tmpv, 1); //increase length by "1"
vec_add(muendung.x, tmpv); //add that to the target

c_trace(muendung, camera_target, IGNORE_PASSABLE); // trace from muzzle to target

goodluck

hmm thanks so far. but that didnt work. Any other idea?

ok it worked. i thought about it again and changed the code to this.



Now it works. because it adds the quants to the target.

Thank you very much
