[QUESTION] Hydra aim lock auto- toggle.

[Prioq]

Is it possible to toggle the hydra aim lock based on the targeted vehicle driver's team ? 

If so can you please link me all the needed functions and events.

Thanks in advance.

Nope, unless you make the lock system yourself. I can give you a list of functions and events for that, if you so desire. But it is not a project for beginners.

I'd be grateful.

function getPositionFromElementOffset(element,offX,offY,offZ)
    local m = getElementMatrix ( element )  -- Get the matrix
    local x = offX * m[1][1] + offY * m[2][1] + offZ * m[3][1] + m[4][1]  -- Apply transform
    local y = offX * m[1][2] + offY * m[2][2] + offZ * m[3][2] + m[4][2]
    local z = offX * m[1][3] + offY * m[2][3] + offZ * m[3][3] + m[4][3]
    return x, y, z                               -- Return the transformed point
end

 

Just one of the concepts you can use:

This function allows you to calculate the distance between a line and a point. This can be very powerful, when you combine that with getPositionFromElementOffset, because that function allows you create offset points from the vehicle. These offset points can be used to create a line in front of you, which you can use to compare the distance between all vehicles. Now you will able to exclude most of the vehicles behind you. Be creative, there a lot of options out there to do the same based on other mathematics calculations like rotation. (which you can also include as another layer)

 

local getDistanceBetweenPointAndSegment3D = function (pointX, pointY, pointZ, x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2)
  -- vector1 --
  local A = pointX - x1 
  local B = pointY - y1
  local C = pointZ - z1
  --
  -- vector2 --
  local D = x2 - x1
  local E = y2 - y1
  local F = z2 - z1
  --
  local point = A * D + B * E + C * F
  local lenSquare = D * D + E * E + F * F
  local parameter = point / lenSquare
 
  local shortestX
  local shortestY
  local shortestZ
 
  if parameter < 0 then
    shortestX = x1
      shortestY = y1
    shortestZ = z1
  elseif parameter > 1 then
    shortestX = x2
    shortestY = y2
    shortestZ = z2

  else
    shortestX = x1 + parameter * D
    shortestY = y1 + parameter * E
    shortestZ = z1 + parameter * F
  end

  local distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(pointX, pointY,pointZ, shortestX, shortestY,shortestZ)
 
  return distance
end

 

Another concept:

You can just simple use getDistanceBetweenPoints3D on a point in front of you. If you make the detection size 300 units and you do it 300 units in front of you. You will be able to capture all vehicles in front of you inside of a giant circle.
> From that segment you can use getDistanceBetweenPoints3D again to compare the vehicle distance from the hydra and all other vehicles and this time you use a detection size of 150 units.
