<aside> ⚡ Script "core_aimattargetcursor" (int AimTarget, int HeightAdjust)

</aside>

Usage

This script will cause the calling actor to aim at a given TID.

Parameters

• AimTarget: int - The TID of the actor to aim at.
• HeightAdjust: int - A height offset to factor into the aiming.

Example

The primary use of this is with TargetMarker, an inventory actor that is implemented in core. When given to players, TargetMarker will spawn an actor at that player’s cursor with a TID of the player’s TID + PLN_TARGETPOINT_OFFSET.

By combining that with this script, you can make other actors aim where the player is. Below is how Copy Vision uses this to accomplish its redirecting aim.
