Check if the player if looking at an entity?

[Dreken]

Hey guys, is there a function to check whether the players eyeangles are looking at an entity's collision box? (ie. The entity itself).

Any advice?

ply:GetEyeTrace().Entity?

I can't get it to seem to work.

if LocalPlayer():GetEyeTrace().npcshop then draw.RoundedBox( 4, 150, 150, 150,150, Color(40,40,40,120)) end

This is within a hudpaint hook.

EDIT: Got it to work, nevermind. I thought you meant to put the entity you've declared in the spot you wrote 'entity', but then I put .entity == npcshop and it worked. Thanks.

You are doing it wrong.
