check if player is looking at someone

[ornate solstice]

How could a make a system where it could sense if I’m looking at someone if so when I clap my hands they would swap spots with me

[eager hull]

You could maybe raycast from player head position in player gaze direction

And check if there’s a player hit when the player claps

Or spherecast to check in a more general area instead of precisely looking at

What does lhs and rhs stand for tho?

[orchid magnet]

left hand side, right hand side and https://discord.com/channels/193073071802941451/1078774849188671538

[ornate solstice]

Oh crap my fault

[valid fox]

Left Hand Side
Right Hand Side

idek y they're labeled bc they produce the same result no matter what.

all it dose is multiplies all the components & then adds them up

Lhs 1,2,3
Rhs 4,5,6

1,2,3 * 4,5,6 = 4,10,18
4 + 10 + 18 = scalar (32)

[ornate solstice]

What would I even do with the vector dot tho It doesn’t seem like I can use it

[valid fox]

and of course, its the same if Lhs & Rhs were swapped

[valid fox]

you subtract the player in question's head by your head to get your direction to player, then dot that by your gaze direction, if the scalar is greater than the input FOV range (the cos of your input degrees) cos bc vectors are just cool like that, as the scalar is cosine based (if vectors have magnitude of 1)

you subtract the player in questions head bc its obvi gonna be farther away from yours

[ornate solstice]

Oh okay

But would I subtract the position of the head or the orientation?

[valid fox]

head

I will watch

[valid fox]

yee, i probably coulda touch on projection 😭

but its not important for ur case, but now ima probably have to make a new vid sometime covering it too, make a whole reference post bout it n such. Im just so tired 🥲

[zealous quarry]

bit late to this but could you specify what you mean by "the sin of your input degrees"?

trying to get this working but roughly doing what youve said makes it very distance dependent

[valid fox]

cos btw, forgor

but ye, it should be the threshold "fov"
greater than should be if direction is within that range, less than would be out of that range

[valid fox]

if it feels distance reliant, make sure the input directions are normalized

(forward vector n such are notmalized btw, so not those)

[zealous quarry]

normalising the vectors hasn't really done anything

arguably made it more distance dependent

[zealous quarry]

so if greater than cos fov?

[valid fox]

sure

[valid fox]

dunno, send what u have if still having issues then

[valid fox]

notifications quiet 😛
subtract should be normalized
also i would use gaze origin instead camera position

[zealous quarry]

whats the difference between gaze and camera?

[valid fox]

camera moves via when in 3rd person i beleive, unless u wanna support that

[zealous quarry]

is there a way to disable it?

[valid fox]

also when subtracting, its always whats gonna be bigger subtracted by whats gonna be smaller to get the direction of whats smaller to whats bigger

[zealous quarry]

right

[valid fox]

no, thats y gaze origin

[valid fox]

wait nah wires, 3 hours sleep, subtract is fine, normalization is the only issue then

[zealous quarry]

is there anything else to normalise because its still very dependent on distance

its acting like a sphere cast with it only activating at furhter distances

[valid fox]

dunno, shouldnt be the case
cv2 been really buggy lately

[valid fox]

nah, just subtract

[zealous quarry]

rec room moment

well shit

I cant even use sphere cast as I intend on the player being able to get close to the object

[valid fox]

is there any errors as well? Other circuits could be erroring at times, causing whatever to not update consistently

[zealous quarry]

uuhhhhhh

[valid fox]

yee

[zealous quarry]

cant tell if thats a rooms v2 issue or not

because I have no clue how to stop that

[valid fox]

well u said ur using some kinda spherecast?

[zealous quarry]

I tried that at first

but it would stop working when close

[valid fox]

oh, so its purely this?

it cant be bc it dont have "Get first tag" so its something else

[zealous quarry]

found the issue

I still had a 30hz hooked up to the sphere cast's if statement

so I assume it was fucking with calculations or slowing them down or smt

I think it works now

thanks for the help

[valid fox]

yee np

[zealous quarry]

dont know if its a screen issue but it is much more sentitve when it comes to the y axis

itll activate when not on screen

works fine on x/z

[valid fox]

ye, dunno

[zealous quarry]

il try it on vr later

[fringe moon]

Don’t break your controllers!

Get off minecraft wtf
