[Question] Player displacement

[kath]

what is the best way to get where a players hitbox actually is when they are on a ground placed gun or anti air ..as the game displaces the body and the bones are in or on the actual gun or anti air weapon , what is the best way to get a hit spot of the person manning that gun or weapon?

You're trying to say you can not aim at and hit the head bone when they are on them objects? I have no problem aiming at player bones regardless of what they are using.

This is because you have 2 player info classes on the CPlayer, one for in a object like vehicle and one for normal walking etc.
The problem is that you need to use the second, in object, CPlayerInfo for getting the matrix to multiply with but not for the bones because that will return car bones...

nm fixed , i was using the origin instead of the bone if they were in vehicles , silly me.

bone -> 50

If you cast a PlayerControlObject to Soldier and access the skeleton you'd crash rather then returning a car bone..

freaky do you meen through the view matrix ?

or object matrix 11 12 13 ?

going to try it now i will post results back.

I think he was trying to say you're accessing the player object instead of the player soldier.

string Player_Name;
BYTE unknown_3[4];
Class* Player_Object;
...   
FLOAT Zoom_1;
FLOAT Zoom_2;
Class* Player_Soldier;

CPlayer->Player_Soldier->Object_Information->Soldier_Skeleton3p->Matrices[#]

thanks rover but it was my mistake i was checking if the player was in a vehicle then if he/she was i was aiming at the origin not the bone.
