[ACS] Force player to look at enemy?

[Recurracy]

Hi,

My wad is stupid, dumb and you shouldn't play it, period. To make it worse, I came up with this horrible idea. What I'd like to do is have a certain enemy force the player to look at them, zoom in, and play a sound while it's in their FOV. How could I do this?

You may recover the yaw and pitch like so with the player as the activator. The last minus sign comes from view pitch being reversed from world pitch.

Code: Select all

int x_diff = GetActorX(target) - GetActorX(0);
int y_diff = GetActorY(target) - GetActorY(0);
int z_diff = GetActorZ(target) - GetActorZ(0); // looks good in general...

int facing_ang  =  VectorAngle(x_diff, y_diff);
int facing_vang = -VectorAngle(VectorLength(x_diff, y_diff), z_diff);

// alternative z_diff:
int view_target_z = GetActorZ(target) + GetActorProperty(target, APROP_HEIGHT) / 2;
int viewer_z      = GetActorZ(0) + GetActorProperty(0, APROP_VIEWHEIGHT);
int z_diff        = view_target_z - viewer_z;
// will make the activator face towards the target's centre.

Looks like ACS to me.
