[HELP] Player aiming status question

[Bartje]

Hi,

Is it possible to check the aiming status of a player? When you have a weapon like a 'tec-9' and you aim backwards, you will lose your aimcontrol and your player just aims up. Is it possible to check if the player is in this upwards aiming state?

Take a look the image below to see what I mean. The second image is the state that I want to check.

Thanks!

I think you can use the bone positions of the player to check if his hand is pointing upwards. Does that suit your use case well enough?

You should calculate the direction of the ped weapon arm and see if it reaches a certain angle in comparison to the ground plane I guess.

I tried the bone position but it wasn't accurate enough. I used the player camera rotation and player rotation to get the angle.

Thanks.

Good idea! Honestly I would prefer if there was a direct MTA function for checking this, but sometimes we have to create makeshift solutions like this which approximate the issue just right
