CameraPick

Hello,

 

Can someone, please, tell me what am i doing wrong ? i'm trying to translate it from lua with no success, thank you very much.

  if (KeyHit(KEY_E)) {
   TPick pick;
   pick = CameraPick(&pick,cam,Vec3(GraphicsWidth()/2,GraphicsHeight()/2,3.0),0,0);
   if (pick) {
 do {
  if (GetEntityKey(pick.entity,"class") == ENTITY_MODEL) {
   break;
  }
  pick.entity = pick.entity.parent;
 } while (!pick.entity);
 if (pick.entity) {
  SendEntityMessage(pick.entity,"use");
 }
   }
  }

So sorry, very long time no programming.

 

I don't know how to use the two functions to have it working. GetMeshModel() is used by GetPickedEntity() but how to use it, i'm very lost.

 

I tryied this but, of course, it's wrong

  if (KeyHit(KEY_E)) {
   TPick pick;
   pick = CameraPick(&pick,cam,Vec3(GraphicsWidth()/2,GraphicsHeight()/2,3.0),2,0,0);
   SendEntityMessage(GetPickedEntity(pick,3.0f,0),"use");
  }

You would need to include the function definition as shown below:

 

TModel GetMeshModel(TEntity _Entity)
{
       string strClassname;
       while (_Entity != NULL)
       {
               strClassname = GetEntityKey(_Entity, "class");
               if (strClassname == "Model")
               {
                       return _Entity;
               }
               _Entity = GetParent(_Entity);
       }
       return NULL;
};

 

and then modify your code so that the entity you are looking to pass the message to is obtained from:

 

GetMeshModel(pick.entity)

Ok, working now. Thank you very much everybody for your time.
