-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Try this pseudo code, I think it should work:
Vector vecDifference = vecPosition - vecAbsOrigin; QAngle angToTarget; VectorAngles( vecDifference, &angToTarget ); flYaw = angToTarget[YAW]; flPitch = angToTarget[PITCH]; SetPoseParameter ( "yaw" , flYaw ); SetPoseParameter ( "pitch" , flPitch ); ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Maras (memzero)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "hlcoders" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 21, 2008 7:27 PM Subject: [hlcoders] Vector math is simply beyond me. > Hello, everybody.
