GetAheadLocation - Example?

Valeriya

Can anyone please help in writing an example for the function GetAheadLocation? We could also then add it to NWN Lexicon

I'm getting errors trying to copy paste and playing around with it

You could do it with your own vector math. Usually you'll probably use it for something like displacing an effect or custom directional cone relative to the origin. I had something custom like that a while back, after googling math stuff, but I can't remember where I put it.

I just mean something basic that compiles, nothing fancy. I can't get it to compile..been trying all sorts of variation. Could someone provide a compile-able example?

Did you add the following (#include "x0_i0_position") to the very top of your script, above void main()?

Like so:

#include "x0_i0_position" void main() { }

#include "x0_i0_position"
void main()
{
object oPC = GetLastUsedBy();
location lTarget = GetAheadLocation(oPC);
AssignCommand(oPC, JumpToLocation(lTarget));
}

*slaps forehead*
I did indeed forget to include the #include "x0_i0_position"
I'll add it to NWN Lexicon later on
Thank you
