vp_parallel for a simple model!???????

well, if all you want is to make a model 'face' the player, than it's just a matter of getting the direction vector from the model to the player, and then converting that to yaw, and feeding the yaw directly into the y component of the angles vector:


pl = player entity

local vector vec;
local float yaw;

vec = pl.origin - self.origin;
yaw = vectoyaw(vec);
self.angles_y = yaw;

do this every frame and it will behave just like a vp_parallel sprite.

...that is why my winged-demon model always starts to lean back a little when flying upwards.

It is because ai_face() doesn't take the z axis in account !!

And when the entity´s z-position gets higher than the players, this happens...

Thank you frag.machine & necros.

Just like Nahuel said:
What would we noobs be, without all the kind + helpful people here at inside3d ?
