View source for Raycasting::testPointToPoint

This function casts a ray from Point1 to Point2 and returns the position and entity of what's in the way, or undefined if the way is cleared.<br><br>Flags are intersection bit flags.  They tell the ray what to care about and what not to care about when casting. Passing -1 will intersect with everything, presumably.<br><br>Flags:<br>1: Intersect with map<br>2: Intersect with vehicles (used to be mission entities?) (includes train)<br>4: Intersect with peds? (same as 8)<br>8: Intersect with peds? (same as 4)<br>16: Intersect with objects<br>32: Unknown<br>64: Unknown<br>128: Unknown<br>256: Intersect with vegetation (plants, coral. trees not included)<br><br>NOTE: Raycasts that intersect with mission_entites (flag = 2) has limited range and will not register for far away entites. The range seems to be about 30 metres.

{{ClientsideCode|

		mp.game.graphics.drawLine(startPosition.x, startPosition.y, startPosition.z, endPosition.x, endPosition.y, endPosition.z, 255, 255, 255, 255); // Is in line of sight
	} else {

{{ClientsideCode|
<pre>
function pointingAt(distance) {
    const camera = mp.cameras.new("gameplay"); // gets the current gameplay camera

    let position = camera.getCoord(); // grab the position of the gameplay camera as Vector3

    let direction = camera.getDirection(); // get the forwarding vector of the direction you aim with the gameplay camera as Vector3

    let farAway = new mp.Vector3((direction.x * distance) + (position.x), (direction.y * distance) + (position.y), (direction.z * distance) + (position.z)); // calculate a random point, drawn on a invisible line between camera position and direction (* distance)

    let result = mp.raycasting.testPointToPoint(position, farAway, [1, 16]); // now test point to point

    return result; // and return the result ( undefined, if no hit )
