camera & TLS stuff 2.4.2 - need help

[mrbrdo]

Hey

I've been struggling with calculating the right angle direction my char must face to walk to a NPC... I don't know what i'm doing wrong really, i just can't seem to get the right angle. I did a little dirty vector resizing trick so i've got it working but i'd love if someone could give an example of how the angle is properly calculated. I basically have the X/Y of me and the NPC, + what angle is my char facing.

Other things i'd like to know - 2.4.2, i'm using TLS method:
- where to read if you are alive/dead
- where to read if you are in combat
- party members possible? (to find them)

On the side note is there any PoC or working example of how to avoid walls while walking and stuff you can bump into?
Can someone also recommend any source i could look at, which does stuff like the angle i'm having problems with, or anything useful.

Thank you!

To get the facing from X,Y to X2,Y2 in radians, use atan.

float fFace = atan2f( Y2 - Y, X2 - X );

If you want the degrees angle, then use (fFace * 180) / M_PI.

you could check the movement state, if you're in goast movementstate you're dead ^^

Thank you both i will try it.

Btw what is the offset from the player base for the movement state? Any link where there are updated offsets (preferably relative to TLS) for 2.4.2?

If you could set your movement state to ghost while alive couldn't you walk across water?

^ Theres a movement state for water walking, and yes you can set it and run across water. However, on live servers you need to intercept the movement packets and change your movement state back to normal to prevent a disconnect.

I see. A quick detour of the SendPacket(), add some filters and done!

[mrbrdo]

hm sorry, where is the movement state actually? can't find it in any of the enums

[mrbrdo]

Kynox can you help again? Haven't gotten a reply for a week so i thought i should kinda bump this one...

Thanks

I know this might seems stupid, but if you have 0 health you are dead and haven't released, if you have 1 health and 0 mana, you are dead and need to walk there... this is just a simple fix of course, it is still open to you actually ever having 1 hp and 0 mana which you open for having a known bug.

if ((PLAYER_FLAGS & 0x10) == 0x10) //then the player is a ghost and needs to get his corpse

thanks! both is helpful, 0 means not released and player flags tell me if i'm ghost. thanks.
