Good to know for next time ;).

i might be wrong, but ive tested isLookingAt() once and it worked in MP as well as expected

yes it works for MP but its not 100% accurate thats why you will see alot of people using bullettrace instead.

I was always under the impression that it DIDN'T work in COD2 MP. It works in COD4 MP, but in COD2 MP we had to write our own MP version of it, which went into our _utils.gsc files. This is one from Admiral mod:

IsLookingAt( gameEntity )
{
	entityPos = gameEntity.origin;
	playerPos = self getEye();

	entityPosAngles = vectorToAngles( entityPos - playerPos );
	entityPosForward = anglesToForward( entityPosAngles );

	playerPosAngles = self getPlayerAngles();
	playerPosForward = anglesToForward( playerPosAngles );

	newDot = vectorDot( entityPosForward, playerPosForward );

	if( newDot < 0.72 ) 
		return false;
	else 
		return true;
}

I might be wrong, or more than likely, Brax is correct that you have to be looking at a trigger with _lookat attached to it.

No no no BraX,IzNoGoD,Tally

isLookingAt(  )

Works in call of duty 2 it it is checked up personally by me, and many other people
It is a script which I used personally, time considerable quantity back, I do not know whose he, therefore I can not credit him:

switch(response)		
{
case "money50":
if(self.money >= 50)
{
players = getentarray("player", "classname");
aimedplayer = undefined;
for(x=0;x < players.size;x++)
{
if(self islookingat(players[x]))
{
self.spent +=50;
players[x].spent -=50;
aimedplayer = players[x]; 
}
}
if(isDefined(aimedplayer))
{
self iprintlnbold("^7You ^4Transfer money^1" + aimedplayer.name);
aimedplayer iprintlnbold("^7You ^4transferred the money^1" + self.name);
wait 3;
self iprintlnbold("^7&#1042;&#1099; ^4&#1087;&#1077;&#1088;&#1077;&#1074;&#1077;&#1083;&#1080; &#1076;&#1077;&#1085;&#1100;&#1075;&#1080;^1" + aimedplayer.name);
aimedplayer iprintlnbold("^7&#1042;&#1072;&#1084; ^4&#1087;&#1077;&#1088;&#1077;&#1074;&#1077;&#1083; &#1076;&#1077;&#1085;&#1100;&#1075;&#1080;^1" + self.name);
}
else
{
self iprintln("^7Move the target ^4on the current who want ^1to transfer money");
wait 3;
self iprintln("^7&#1053;&#1072;&#1074;&#1077;&#1076;&#1080;&#1090;&#1077; &#1087;&#1088;&#1080;&#1094;&#1077;&#1083; ^4&#1085;&#1072; &#1090;&#1086;&#1075;&#1086; &#1082;&#1086;&#1084;&#1091; &#1093;&#1086;&#1090;&#1080;&#1090;&#1077; ^1&#1087;&#1077;&#1088;&#1077;&#1074;&#1077;&#1089;&#1090;&#1080; &#1076;&#1077;&#1085;&#1100;&#1075;&#1080;");
}
}
if(self.money < 50)
{
self iprintlnbold("^7You do ^4not have enough ^1money");
}
break;
}

sorry for:

self iprintln("^7Наведите прицел ^4на того кому хотите ^1перевести деньги");

This is my main language,forum does not support it :DDD

Yep, it does work. I did this test on some bots:

SelfTest()
{
	if( demon\_bots::IsBot( self ) ) return;
	
	for( ;; )
	{
		players = getEntArray( "player", "classname" );
		if( isDefined( players ) )
			for( i=0; i < players.size; i++ )
			{
				player = players[i];
				if( self isLookingAt( player ) )
					self iprintlnBold( "test" );
			}
		
		wait( 0.05 );
	}
}

And it worked: when I didn't look at any bots, I got nothing; when I looked at any bot at a distance of about <= 80 units, I got the test iprintlnbold.

I have never had recourse to use isLookingAt() in COD2 before, so I wasn't sure. I have been scripting for over 8 years now, and only ever used the function once in COD4. I always prefer a distance check.
