How to get the world Pos of a players aiming/looking position, aka geting the position in the world

[sas41]

Pretty much as it says, I cant figure out what I have to use, it is a swep that I am working on, perhaps GetShootPos would work, but how?

[lua]pl:GetEyeTrace().HitPos[/lua]

HitPos is the vector that the trace ends at.

Hey thanks for the reply man, but if I may ask, is there a way to break it down so I can alter the position to ensure that the player wont get stuck?

Like, adding 20 to hight and exracting 50 from the distance (X,Y) etc.

If you're looking for a teleport style code, look at the ulx teleport module. That should push you where you want in terms of code.

[cabbiethefirst]

pl:GetEyeTrace().HitPos.x
pl:GetEyeTrace().HitPos.y
pl:GetEyeTrace().HitPos.z

will return the components of the position

you can modify them using something simple such as:

pl:GetEyeTrace().HitPos.x + Vector(10,0,0)
pl:GetEyeTrace().HitPos.y + Vector(0,10,0)
pl:GetEyeTrace().HitPos.z + Vector(0,0,10)

That's not how lua works.

local offset = Vector(10,10,10)
local vec = pl:GetEyeTrace().HitPos + offset
print(vec)

Yeah I saw that later on.
I got it working tough!
