[MATH] - How do I check if a point is behind a unit

[msongyboi]

How do you find a way to check if a given point is behind a unit's current facing?

So in this example, the formula would detect that all the points labeled with UPPERCASE LETTERS are behind the unit, and all the points labeled with lowercase letters are infront of the unit.

This is one way to do it:

• Set Point = (your point)
• Set Point2 = (Position of Unit)
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Abs(((Facing of Unit) - (180.00 + (Angle from Point to Point2))))) Less than 90.00
  • Then - Actions
    • -------- Front --------
  • Else - Actions
    • -------- Behind --------
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point)
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point2)
