I have a simple function that uses phent_addcentralforce() to fire an object. I want to fire it from a FPS view ie from the camera. I just can't figure it out.

Does anyone have some code for this please ?

Thanks

create your bullet in camera position, little bit in front of it and then apply force to the bullet. it should be that simple

I can do this but when I pan or tilt the camera, the bullet fires from the orginal position.

Can someone please give me some code to work with.


Thanks

This is more tricky than you think because c_trace (as I have used before) uses a direction vector where as phent_addcentralforce uses force.
Also, I am not using a model, just the camera co-ordinates

Thanks

Remember to rotate your antity and phent_addcentralforce vector
by the cameras pan, tilt, and maybe roll?

Good idea, sadly I still can't do it.

Thanks

Hi there,
You have to use "phent_addvellocal" instead of "phent_addcentralforce".

This will add force dependent to the bullets orientation (pan, tilt, roll).
