[Help] Logic Question

[Driggero]

Is it possible to take 2 sets of XYZ coordinates from the 3D world and find out the rotation values (x, y, z) needed to move between them. What I'm essentially looking for is this https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/FindRotation but working for 3D points.

I'm using it to create a projectile from the players position to a point they've clicked on with the cursor. I've sussed all the rest of the code so I don't need help with that, just need to know if there's a way to find the rotation between 3D coordinates.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

you could use a math value.. it will be hard, since you already know the 2 positions..

EDIT//: the math value should be enought for facing the "distance", sorry, i'll be looking into rotation.

Yes it is possbile , most common way to do that is : atan2f / atanf . Here is my old aimbot for some multiplayer FPS - game i played. The code is made in C++ , and for 3D camera , yaw/pitch/roll . This is just an exempel how could it be made.

Ofc this must be edited to work on MTA , but it's a start for you what to search.

  
            D3DXVECTOR3 NewVector; 
            NewVector.x = pClientInfo->g_pLocal->Pos.x - g_pESP.pPlayers[AimAt].Aimcords.x; 
            NewVector.y = pClientInfo->g_pLocal->Pos.y - g_pESP.pPlayers[AimAt].Aimcords.y; 
            NewVector.z = pClientInfo->g_pLocal->Pos.z - g_pESP.pPlayers[AimAt].Aimcords.z; 
  
            float CamYaw = (float)atanf(NewVector.x/NewVector.z); 
            if(NewVector.z > 0.0f && NewVector.x < 0.0f && CamYaw < 0.0f) 
                CamYaw += D3DX_PI; 
            else if(NewVector.z > 0.0f && NewVector.x > 0.0f) 
                CamYaw += D3DX_PI; 
  
            DWORD tempKey = 0; 
            switch(AimbotKey) 
            { 
                default: 
                    tempKey = VK_LBUTTON; 
                break; 
            
                case 1: 
                    tempKey = VK_RBUTTON; 
                break; 
                
                case 2: 
                    tempKey = VK_SHIFT; 
                break; 
            } 
            if((GetAsyncKeyState(tempKey) && !Aimbotkeyon) || (Aimbotkeyon)) 
            { 
                pClientInfo->g_pLocal->pitch    = (float)atan2f(NewVector.y,(float)sqrt(pow(NewVector.z,2) + pow(NewVector.x,2))); 
                pClientInfo->g_pLocal->yaw      = CamYaw;

And there's me thinking it would be a few simple lines

I'll certainly have a go at trying to make use of the math in your script and convert it into lua. Not very familiar with C++ so we'll see how that goes. Cheers for pointing me in the right direction
