Force player to walk to a specific vector

[sackcreator54]

Hello,

I'm trying to make something where it will force the specified player to walk/run to a specified vector. How would I achieve this? (also, i don't care about the view moving with it, the mouse is always enabled in this gamemode and players cannot use W, A, S, and D.

Either set the view angles towards the vector and just SetForwardMove or normalize a directional vector for use with SetForwardMove, SetSideMove, and SetUpMove.

For instance:
[lua]
local function myMoveToVector(cmd)
local targetang = (MY_TARGET_VECTOR - LocalPlayer():GetShootPos()):Angle() -- Add Vector(0, 0, 64) to MY_TARGET_VECTOR if you don't want the players to look down.
cmd:SetViewAngles(targetang)
cmd:SetForwardMove(MY_MOVE_SPEED) --I can't remember if this is a percentage of the walk speed or just a speed, but it will be capped anyways so just set it to the walkspeed.
--If you don't mind the player slowing down as they approach, set it to MY_TARGET_VECTOR:Distance(LocalPlayer():GetPos())
cmd:SetSideMove(0) --Making sure the player can't move sideways
cmd:SetUpMove(0)
end
hook.Add("CreateMove", "MyMoveToVector", myMoveToVector)
[/lua]

Untested code, so be wary of errors.

Okay, I got that to work. I have another problem however.

I have some code:

	if (input.IsMouseDown(MOUSE_RIGHT)) then
		clickPosX = gui.MouseX();
		clickPosY = gui.MouseY();
	end

This is the position of the mouse at the last frame when right mouse button was held. What I want to do with these is get a global vector. There IS a [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/gui/ScreenToVector"]function[/URL] for this, however, it converts it to a normalized vector. How would I go from normalized to world vector?

Do a traceline from the player's view pos in the direction of the normal vector I should think...
