Point anglesensor

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

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.

Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]

The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.

Parentname:

Parent (parentname) <targetname>

Specifies a movement parent. An entity will maintain its initial offset from its parent. An attachment point can be added to the end of the name, separated by a comma.

Start Disabled (StartDisabled) <boolean>

Stay dormant until activated (with theEnableinput).

Flags

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

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.

Parentname:

SetParent <stringRedirectInput/string>

Move with this entity. See Entity Hierarchy (parenting).

SetParentAttachment <stringRedirectInput/string>

Change this entity to attach to a specific attachment point on its parent. The entity will teleport so that the position of its root bone matches that of the attachment. Entities must be parented before being sent this input.

SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset <stringRedirectInput/string>

As above, but without teleporting. The entity retains its position relative to the attachment at the time of the input being received.

ClearParent

Removes this entity from the the movement hierarchy, leaving it free to move independently.

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.
