[HELP] Moving head with mouse

[hrtht]

How to see the other player every time he moves his head? current scripts only leave it looking to one side.

addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), function()

for k,player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do
if getElementHealth(player) >= 1 then
local width, height = guiGetScreenSize ()
local lx, ly, lz = getWorldFromScreenPosition ( width/2, height/2, 10 )
setPedLookAt(player, lx, ly, lz)
end 
end
   
end)

You're setting everyone's look-at coordinates to the centre of the localPlayer's screen, not the respective player's screen. Also, last time I used setPedLookAt, it didn't work for remote players correctly. Also, read the Wiki notices (specifically the first one - don't run this on onClientRender):

Note: Avoid calling setPedLookAt every frame as this can cause bugs like being invincible to burning.

Note: For remote players, you have to use setPedAimTarget before setPedLookAt.

I started days ago on this.. if you can send me the code it would be great man

Try with getCursorPosition()

[iDannz [Breno]]

All you should do is get new look at coordinates -> send to server -> sync to others clients
but remember; dont try to destroy your server's network
 

--serverside
addEvent('syncLookAt', true)
addEventHandler('syncLookAt', root, function(x,y,z)
	triggerLatentClientEvent("setLookAt", 30000, false, client, x,y,z)
	-- triggerClientEvent("setLookAt", client, x,y,z)
end)

--clientside
local screenW, screenH = guiGetScreenSize()

setTimer(function()
    local x,y,z = getWorldFromScreenPosition(screenW*0.5, screenH*0.5, 10)
    triggerLatentServerEvent("syncLookAt", 30000, false, localPlayer, x,y,z)
--    triggerServerEvent("syncLookAt", localPlayer, x,y,z)
end, 200, 0)

addEvent('setLookAt', true)
addEventHandler('setLookAt', root, function(x,y,z)
    setPedLookAt(source, x,y,z)
end)

I would also like to know the answer to this question. This only works for the local client. that is, you see where the head is turning, and for the other player you have your head "turned in one direction and froze" although you turn your head. On the local side, everything is fine, but how to implement this correctly for other players?

Can somebody help?

Nobody?
