Getting the coordinates of the collisions we are looking at?

[redditing]

Is there a way to check for collisions where the player is looking without aiming the gun as if the getWorldFromScreenPosition and GetPedTargetCollision functions were combined?

yes getWorldFromScreenPosition just above player head, and processLineOfSight should do, fill the params with player for start coords and a bit of offset (like 1 or 2 meters) to evade the ray hitting the player itself, and getWorldFromScreenPosition for end coord, you can customize others params to your needs.

something like:

local wordx,worldy,worldz=getWorldFromScreenPosition(...

local hitornot,hitx,hity,hitz=processLineOfSight(playerx,playery,playerz,worldx,worldy,worldz)

Thanks, man, that was exactly what I missed
