Pick() not working when not facing same direction

[YouGroove]

Hi,

 

I use pick(), it works, but only when the mob is facing the player.

The problem is when using GotoPoint() the mob don't faces the player, and calling Pick() even with good spheres debug position , Pick don't work.

 

I put a red and blue sphere to see pick start and pick end.

 

 

 

function Script:RaycastPlayer2()


self.debugSphere:SetPosition( self.target:GetPosition(true), true)
self.debugSphere3:SetPosition( self.entity:GetPosition(true), true)
-- disable model picking
self.entity:SetPickMode(0)
local world = World:GetCurrent()
local pi = PickInfo()
if (world:Pick(self.entity:GetPosition(true), self.target:GetPosition(true), pi, 0, true)) == false then

return 0

end

-- did we hit our target?
if pi.entity == self.target then
return 1

end

-- we hit something else
return 2


end 

 

The pick is called every frame at beginning of UpdateWorld.

Why it don't works when the mob is facing another direction ?

 

This is driving me nuts.

I put a new code having pick points higher than floor, but now it never returns player collision detection ?

 

function Script:RaycastPlayer2()

local posPlayer = self.target:GetPosition() 
local posMob = self.entity:GetPosition()

posPlayer.y = posPlayer.y +1
posMob.y = posMob.y +1 

self.debugSphere:SetPosition( posPlayer, true)
self.debugSphere3:SetPosition( posMob, true)
-- disable model picking
self.entity:SetPickMode(0)
self.debugSphere:SetPickMode(0)
self.debugSphere3:SetPickMode(0)

local world = World:GetCurrent()
local pi = PickInfo()


if (world:Pick(posPlayer, posMob, pi, 0, true)) == false then 

return 0 

end

-- did we hit our target?
if pi.entity == self.target then 
 return 1 

 end

-- we hit something else
return 2


end
