hey there! i use the following code:

trace_to.x = my.x + 10000 * cos(my.pan) * cos(my.tilt);
trace_to.y = my.y + 10000 * sin(my.pan) * cos(my.tilt);
trace_to.z = my.z;

now the problem: how can i set the trace_to - point to the right side or the left side? have i only to change the *cos(my.pan) to *cos(my.pan + 90) or what?

thanks, Dj Pint

var TraceTo[3];
...
TraceTo.x = 0;
TraceTo.y = 10000;
TraceTo.z = 0;
vec_rotate(TraceTo, my.pan);
trace_mode = ?;
c_trace(my.x, TraceTo, trace_mode;



This will trace 10,000 quants to the right of the player, ralatively. Replace all the tricky trig with a simple vec_rotate();

ahh cool, thx! but does this point pan with the actor or is it always the same?

Pans with the actor...

It's the same as above, but repleaces trig with vec_rotate()...

Just adjust the offset to where you need it.

yo, thx, guitar!
