Template:Base point It detects whether another entity points in a given direction for a period of time.

C++ In code, it is represented by theCPointAngleSensorclass, defined in thepointanglesensor.cppfile.

KeyValues

Target Entity Name ([todo internal name (i)]) <targetname>
Name of the entity whose angles will be sensed.
Look At Entity ([todo internal name (i)]) <targetname>
The entity we want to check to see if the Target Entity is looking at.
Duration ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>
The amount of time the Target Entity must look at the 'Look at Entity' to trigger this entity, in seconds.
Tolerance ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>
The tolerance, in degrees, in the checking to determine when the Target Entity is looking at the Look At Entity.
Start Disabled (StartDisabled) <boolean>
Stay dormant until activated (with theEnableinput).


Flags

Use target entity's angles (NOT position) : [1]

Inputs

Toggle
Toggle the sensor between enabled and disabled.
Test
Check to see if the Target Entity is facing the Look At Entity within the specified tolerance, firing either the OnFacingLookat or OnNotFacingLookat output based on the result.

EnableDisable:

Enable / Disable
Enable/disable this entity from performing its task. It might also disappear from view.


Outputs

TargetDir <vectorRedirectInput/Vector>
Fired when the forward direction of the Target Entity changes. Passes the new forward direction as a parameter.
OnFacingLookat
Fired when the Target Entity points at the Look At Entity for more than the specified Duration, or in response to a Test input.
OnNotFacingLookat
Fires in response to a Test input when the Target Entity is not pointing at the Look At Entity.
FacingPercentage <floatRedirectInput/float>
Normalized value (0..1) where 1 is facing directly at target and 0 is at or beyond the angle of tolerance.
