help with Darkplaces changepitch ()

HELP ME I AM A TOTAL NOOB

Anyway, I'm trying to use it in the same way one would use changeyaw(), but since there's no equivalent to vectoyaw() to set .idealpitch, I'm stucked.
Basically, I want an ai_face() that works in both X and Y axis. Directions please ?

vectoyaw is a crippled version of vectoangles, in that it only returns the yaw angle and ignores the pitch+roll angles.

hmmm makes sense. Thanks Spike!

EDIT: for anyone willing to make an ai_face() that affects also the entity pitch:

Code: Select all

   local   vector   ideal;

   ideal = vectoangles(self.enemy.origin - self.origin);
   self.ideal_yaw = ideal_y;
   self.idealpitch = ideal_x;  // this one is DP specific
   ChangeYaw ();
   changepitch (self); // this one is DP specific
