get location, player is looking at?

[69stehend]

how can i get the location, a player is currently looking at?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Target of current camera view along with GetLocalPlayer().

i found the "target of current camera view" function before allready, but it doesn't take any parameters, so how to do it with GetLocalPlayer()?

I think something like this may work:

function GetPlayerCameraX takes player p returns real
    local real r=0.
    if GetLocalPlayer()==p then
        set r=GetCameraTargetPositionX()
    endif
    return r
endfunction
function GetPlayerCameraY takes player p returns real
    local real r=0.
    if GetLocalPlayer()==p then
        set r=GetCameraTargetPositionY()
    endif
    return r
endfunction
function GetPlayerCameraZ takes player p returns real
    local real r=0.
    if GetLocalPlayer()==p then
        set r=GetCameraTargetPositionZ()
    endif
    return r
endfunction

Copy this into the header of your map and then set your variables via custom script like this:

• Custom script: set udg_CameraX=GetPlayerCameraX(Player(0))

Note that in JASS, Player(0) means Player 1, Player(1) means Player 2, and so on.

thx, it works properly in single player mode (did not test in multiplayer yet)
1 question: what player does GetLocalPlayer() return?
