Limit on the distance for triggering SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback

[Adrianis]

I'm playing around with an idea for getting the player's direction, using very large Script Area's (4 for now, North/South/East/West), and using the look-at callback to print a debug message. I seem to be able to activate them through walls so, that's not a problem.

But there seems to be a limit to how far away you need to be. From what I can tell testing in-game & in the level editor its 50m. Does anyone know of any way to change that? The MaxFocusDistance setting for script areas in the level editor doesn't affect it, and I haven't been able to find anything in game.cfg that would be relevant

Here's the code, if that matters...

Code: (Select All)

void NavigationSetup()
    {
        SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("SA_Navigate_NOR", "NavigationMessageDisplay", false);
        SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("SA_Navigate_SOU", "NavigationMessageDisplay", false);
        SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("SA_Navigate_EAS", "NavigationMessageDisplay", false);
        SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("SA_Navigate_WES", "NavigationMessageDisplay", false);
    }

void NavigationMessageDisplay(string &in strEntity, int inState)
    {
        if (inState==1) AddDebugMessage(strEntity, false);
    }

Bump. Does no one have any ideas?
