Hi, I was wondering if the more mathematically minded of you could help me out with some Trigonometry (or at least I guess it would be trig that I need) to get this aiming system working? Let me explain:
The character has an aimer which spins around their head (much like worms, always a certain distance from the player). That's ok, I'm not using trig to do that. However, what I want to do is to check, using the angle of the aimer, whether the enemy is in line with it or not. THAT is my problem. I don't want to have to resort to shooting invisible rays, or stuff like that.
Anyone able to help?

If you're using MMF, you can use Angle Calculator and compare the angle between the player and the aimer and between the player and the enemy. If they're close then it's aiming at it. Bet you don't understand.

People don't use it because the expression is really long as you have to do some stuff to add to the angle since atan only returns a value between -90 and +90. The expression won't work with two angle either because there will be a division by 0.
