| − | ''vector'' '''aim'''(''entity'' player, ''float'' missileSpeed)
| + | ====Syntax:==== |
| | + | <code>vector aim(entity e, float speed)</code> |
| | | | |
| − | == Usage ==
| + | Used for player weapons and links to the sv_aim console variable for autoaim. |
| − | Gets a valid target for the player to auto aim at. The '''sv_aim''' console variable determines the maximum angle from the check position the entity can be. This is the cosine of the angle, so an angle range of 20 degrees would be ~0.9397. The aim direction uses the '''v_forward''' global so <code>makevectors(player.v_angle)</code> should be called beforehand. The position of the check is 20 units above the player's origin and has a max range of 2048 map units. The angle is considered from the check position to the center of the possible entity to aim at.
| + | ====Parameters:==== |
| | + | :<code>f</code> - The float value to convert |
| | + | ====Returns:==== |
| | + | :Returns a vector along which the entity ''e'' can shoot. The vector is calculated based on the sv_aim console variable to the closest enemy entity. |
| | | | |
| − | Only entities that have the '''takedamage''' type of <code>DAMAGE_AIM</code> will be auto aimed at and there must be line of sight.

| − | === Parameters ===
| |
| − | *''player''
| |
| − | :The player doing the auto aim check.
| |
| − | *''missileSpeed''
| |
| − | :Unused.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Return ===
| |
| − | The new aim direction as a unit vector. This is either the direction facing towards the auto aimed entity or '''v_forward''' if no valid one was found.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Example ==
| |
| − | // Aim a player's missile at potential valid monsters
| |
| − | makevectors(self.v_angle);
| |
| − | entity missile = spawn();
| |
| − |
| |
| − | vector aimDir = aim(self, 0);
| |
| − | missile.velocity = aimDir * 1024;
| |
| − | // ...
