Check if player is facing player

[Wisin]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me with making a function to check if a player is facing another, I got told to use findRotation useful function, but I don't know what to check exactly.

Thanks.

getPedTarget maybe

Sadly, it doesn't work, it almost never returns the player when I need it to.

Where do you need it client or server side?

Which will be the main filter of the functions you can use and can't use.

I need it client side, this is what I tried:

local sx, sy = guiGetScreenSize ( ) 
local tx, ty, tz = getWorldFromScreenPosition ( sx / 2, sy / 2, 7 ) 
local px, py, pz = getCameraMatrix ( ) 
local hit, _, _, _, elementHit = processLineOfSight ( px, py, pz, tx, ty, tz, true, true, true, true, true, false, false, false, localPlayer ) 
if ( hit and isElement ( elementHit ) and getElementType ( elementHit ) == "player" ) then 
    local px, py, pz = getElementPosition ( elementHit ) 
    outputChatBox ( "hit: ".. tostring ( getPlayerName ( elementHit ) ) ) 
end 

The problem is that it hardly detects it, plus, I don't want it to be camera based, since I could just turn around and look at a player and it would return it.

So just use the peds position + calculate the position in a certain distance infront of it.

Im pretty sure there already is some function on the wiki to do this,

since its used on shooter maps to make projectiles fly the right direction.

But its not that hard anyway.

Then use processLineOfSight on these two positions and it always should check whats in the peds view.
