hi,
I asked so many noobish questions for a while. sorry for that.
I need to place an entity pointer in front of player face. so when player rotates, It rotates too but it should still stay in front of player face.
currently I use vec_set to place an entity in front of player face. but when player rotates, the entity does not stay in front of player's face.
could U understand what i mean?
Is there anyway?
I don't care!

rotate your vector you use in vec_set!
VECTOR pos;
vec_set(pos,vector(x,y,z)); //your position here:
vec_rotate(pos,player.pan);
vec_add(pos,player.x);
vec_set(object.x,pos);

Or even simpler:
action thinginfrontofplayer()
{
while(1)
{
my.x = sin(player.pan) * 64 + player.x;
my.y = cos(player.pan) * 64 + player.y;
my.z = player.z;
wait(1);
}
}
... where 64 is the distance from the player to that object.
Always learn from history, to be sure you make the same mistakes again...

my.x = player.x + 200 * cos(player.pan);
my.y = player.y + 200 * sin(player.pan);
my.z = player.z + 200 * tan(player.tilt);
That would work on something if you needed it to be in front of the player and the player could fly or something comparable.
