Function
getCameraMatrix
Returns the camera position, the point it looks at, the roll and the field of view.
Syntax
Server
float getCameraMatrix(player thePlayer)Client
float getCameraMatrix()Arguments
thePlayerplayer- The player (server only).
Returns
x, y, z, lx, ly, lz, roll, fov or false.
Example
A point 10 m in front of the player's camera.
local cx, cy, cz, lx, ly, lz = getCameraMatrix()
local dx, dy, dz = lx - cx, ly - cy, lz - cz
local len = math.sqrt(dx * dx + dy * dy + dz * dz)
local tx, ty, tz = cx + dx / len * 10, cy + dy / len * 10, cz + dz / len * 10Notes
The server only knows a set camera. On the server the function returns the matrix set with setCameraMatrix, not the player's current camera position.
