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. Code: VECTOR to; vec_set(to, mouse_dir3d); vec_scale(to, 5000); // set a range vec_add(to, camera.x); c_trace(camera.x, to, IGNORE_PASSABLE); // Trace from cam vec_set(camera_target, hit.x); // save the target And this is my player trace code. Code: vec_for_vertex(muendung, player, 508); // Weapon Muzzle c_trace(muendung, camera_target, IGNORE_PASSABLE); // trace from muzzle to target if(trace_hit) { you.health -= integer(random(25))+80; ent_create(einschussloch,hit.x,einschuss); // create bullet hole leuchtgeschoss(muendung); // another function } I tried to vec_scale and vec_normalize my camera_target but i dont get it. ANy help please? Thank you

Code: VECTOR tmpv; vec_diff(tmpv, camera_target.x, muendung.x); //tmpv's now the vector from my.x to target.x vec_normalize(tmpv, 1); //increase length by "1" vec_add(camera_target.x, tmpv); //add that to the target*/ Now it works. because it adds the quants to the target. Thank you very much Last edited by Rasch; 12/19/10 17:35.
