When I use pointentity to make enemies point to main character(player) it makes the enemy glide toward main character. Is this an intended feature of pointentity . When I noticed this tendency I thought I might as well use the enrmy walk animation sunce the darned thing is moving anyway.

 

 

 

 

If stopanim = False

If EntityDistance(jane,knight) < 7 And EntityDistance(jane,knight) > 1

PointEntity(knight,jane)

knight_walk()

ElseIf EntityDistance(jane,knight) < 1

PointEntity( knight,jane)

jane_attack()

knight_attack()

EndIf

Hello team!!

After read learn page with the example and this thread I'm still trying to use and understand PointEntity... But i can't make this go to walk...

¿Could you help me? I have a scene with only 3 elements in there:

  1. A camera named: MobileCamera
  2. A model named: SpaceShip
  3. A brush called: Earth

Camera.jpg.3b35cba14962319e684f356bee9107a5.jpg

I want make MobileCamera (with Script called PointToShip.lua) always point to SpaceShip, but my code or my bad sintax doesn't work...

This is my code:

Entity1 = GetEntityByName("MobileCamera")
Entity2 = GetEntityByName("Spaceship")

function Script:Start()
	self.enabled=true
end

function Script:UpdateWorld()
	PointEntity(Entity1,Entity2)
end

I have read @Rick thread-topic about this command. But i don't understand to make success the sintax anyway...

Many thanks!!

This thread is from 2011. There is no PointEntity anymore, it is Point.

self.entity:Point(Entity2)

self.entity is the entity the script is attached to.
