Help with Entity Under Mouse

[PaulCiclops]

How do I TheInput:GetWorldEntityUnderMouse () works for the client?

Because when the client uses, receives the value of the mouse host

 

Sorry for my english.

What do you want to do?

If you want to delete stuff, you can stand near the object to delete, and input (example, for evergreen prefab):

c_find("evergreen"):Remove()

@DarkXero, I don't think GUIDs on the client are the same as on the server.

Another way, is using TheInput, but client side. You know how "Remote:" appears on the side of console? Press Ctrl to remove it.

Then input:

TheNet:SendRemoteExecute("Ents["..TheInput:GetWorldEntityUnderMouse().GUID.."]:Remove()", 0, 0)

To make the client send a custom crafted command (remove the entity with this GUID, after obtaining it with the mouse command).

I'm using it to pick up a target for a follower.

Does not work. Its show me how to use it to pick up an entity and save in a variable?

c_find("follower").components.combat:SetTarget(c_find("target"))

With follower being your follower prefab, and target being the target prefab.

You can do:

c_select(c_find("target"))

to store a prefab as a debug entity, and then

c_sel()

will refer to the entity stored via c_select.

Yeah, I thought it did but it turns out it doesn't.

So your best bet with TheInput:GetWorldEntityUnderMouse() is to just send the position of the entity you selected and reselect it in the server.

This has helped me a lot, but needs to pass targets that do not contain the component "combat" like as trees and rocks. Because my pet can destroy these objects. How can I do this?

I assume you gave your pet a brain with the "ChaseAndAttack" behaviour, which is why loading the target option of the combat component works. To make your pet react against other stuff, you need to improve your brain.

For example, like how the shadowwaxwellbrain does it.

Actually my pet has the ability to destroy things to touch. So are presciso a way to make him get up to entitidade, so he breaks it. How can I do this in an easy way? But I want to make him reach a specific and not the first to find, type in what I'm aiming or the mouse is over and has to run on the client and server.

Thank you in advance.

Instead of using (with FindEntity, that looks for the nearest entity)

local function FindEntityToWorkAction(inst, action, addtltags)
    local target = FindEntity(GetLeader(inst), SEE_WORK_DIST, nil, {action.id.."_workable"}, {"INLIMBO"}, addtltags)
    if target then
        return BufferedAction(inst, target, action) or nil
    end
end

you use something like

local function FindEntityToWorkAction(inst, action, addtltags)
    local target = inst.mouseloadedtarget
    if target then
        return BufferedAction(inst, target, action) or nil
    end
end

and then you load that variable.

c_find("follower").mouseloadedtarget = c_find("target")

Then the brain will go after it.

It worked, not the way I wanted but better than nothing. That parameter can go to find that fit into anything q can be destroyed, such as trees, rocks, buildings and others.

But thank you for the help.
