moving still ped with cursor?

[Lukkaz]

Hey everyone I am in need of a little help. As you know by playing mta when you run you can rotate the player with moving the mouse. However when you move the mouse when your sitting still the camera moves around the still ped. My question is how can I make the still ped rotate so his back is always to the person playing the game?

My code so far;

  
addEventHandler( "onClientCursorMove", getRootElement( ), 
    function ( cursorX, cursorY, absoluteX, absoluteY, x,y,z) 
pedday = getLocalPlayer() 
if (getElementVelocity(pedday) <= 0) then 
curX, curY, curZ = getElementRotation(getLocalPlayer()) 
  
setElementRotation(pedday, curX , y, z) 
setPedLookAt(pedday, x, curX , curY, z, -3000) 
end 
end 
) 
  

doesn't currently work, the ped gets messed up when in motion and the mouse is moved. ANy help or ideas is really appreciated thanks guy!

This event is triggered each time the user moves the mouse on top of a GUI element.

No that's onClientMouseMove like I said it works but I want it so the player can rotate at a still state.

Oh, you are right i didn't pay attention, if i understand you correctly you want to rotate the ped on cursor move check the superman resource.

Here:

addEventHandler( "onClientCursorMove", getRootElement( ), 
function ( cursorX, cursorY, absoluteX, absoluteY, x,y,z) 
local pedday = getLocalPlayer() 
if (getElementVelocity(pedday) <= 0) then 
local x1,y1,_ = getElementPosition(pedday) 
local r = findRotation(x1,y1,x,y) 
setElementRotation(pedday, 0, 0, r) 
curX, curY, curZ = getElementRotation(pedday) 
setPedLookAt(pedday, x, curX , curY, z, -3000) 
end 
end) 
  
function findRotation(x1,y1,x2,y2) 
  local t = -math.deg(math.atan2(x2-x1,y2-y1)) 
  if t < 0 then t = t + 360 end; 
  return t; 
end 

When I move my mouse it rotates the player acording to where I look at.

it works now the only thing left is moving the verticle axis. Looking up and down. I will try to play around with it but any help again is appreciated.

do you actually need to see the cursor for this to work? I mean, did you use showCursor(true) ?

[Castillo]

No.

Actually, what i think you should do is not go according to mouse movement but go according to the camera matrix. That way it is more accurate and doesnt occur when the mouse is visible.

Well I am developing a FP view for players so they can still aim their gun ect. what would be the best way?

[CowTurbo]

get ped head position, and set camera matrix to the x,y,z on client pre render

You can't set aim target for local player, so if you want to shoot while in First Person view, you need a work-around.

When aiming disable your FP script and use following

local x,y,z = getElementPosition( getLocalPlayer() ) 
CamFixBody = createObject (983, x, y, z ) 
attachElements ( CamFixBody, getLocalPlayer(), 0, -0.1, 0.45, 90, 0, 90) 
setElementAlpha( CamFixBody, 0) 
setTimer ( setElementAlpha,1000, 1, getLocalPlayer(), 0) 

This will do well, however, localPlayer should be made then invisible. Also you need to check 'weapon_aim' state and switch scripts when state changes (from your to this work-around piece and vice versa)
