Makes a ped turn his head and look at a specific world position or element.

Syntax

bool setPedLookAt ( ped thePed, float x, float y, float z [, int time = 3000, element target ] )

Required Arguments

  • thePed: the ped to change the lookat of.
  • x: the x coordinate of the world position to look at.
  • y: the y coordinate of the world position to look at.
  • z: the z coordinate of the world position to look at.

Optional Arguments

  • time: the time, in milliseconds, during which the ped will look at the target. Once this time has elapsed, he will look ahead again like before the function was applied. A time of 0 will immediately stop any lookat. A negative time will make the ped look at the target indefinitely.
  • target: if this argument is specified, the position arguments will be ignored and the ped's gaze will follow the specified element instead. Can be a player, a vehicle, another ped etc.

Example

This example makes player to always see where the camera points at (untested, but should work). 

function setPedLookAtCameraTargetPosition()
    local sx,sy,sz,tx,ty,tz,v1,v2 = getCameraMatrix()
    setPedLookAt (getLocalPlayer(),tx,ty,tz,3000)
end
addEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(),setPedLookAtCameraTargetPosition)
