FacePosition

The FacePosition function makes a unit or object face a specified position in the game world. This function can be used to orient a unit towards a particular location or another unit/object.

Parameters

• x: The X coordinate of the position to face.
• y: The Y coordinate of the position to face.
• z: The Z coordinate of the position to face.
• unit (optional): The unit or object identifier (GUID) or unit identifier (such as "player", "target", "focus", etc.) to face.

Example Usage in Lua

Here is an exhaustive example of how to use the FacePosition function in Lua, including the use of the IsFacing function to check if the unit is facing the specified position:

local api = ...

-- Function to make the player face a specified position
function FacePositionExample(x, y, z)
    api.FacePosition(x, y, z)
    print("Player is now facing position (" .. x .. ", " .. y .. ", " .. z .. ").")
end

-- Function to make the player face a specified unit
function FaceUnitExample(unit)
    api.FacePosition(unit)
    print("Player is now facing unit: " .. unit)
end

-- Function to check if the player is facing a specified position
function CheckIfFacingPosition(x, y, z)
    local player = "player"
    local isFacing = api.IsFacing(player, x, y, z)
    if isFacing then
        print("Player is facing position (" .. x .. ", " .. y .. ", " .. z .. ").")
    else
        print("Player is not facing position (" .. x .. ", " .. y .. ", " .. z .. ").")
    end
end

-- Function to check if the player is facing a specified unit
function CheckIfFacingUnit(unit)
    local player = "player"
    local isFacing = api.IsFacing(player, unit)
    if isFacing then
        print("Player is facing unit: " .. unit)
    else
        print("Player is not facing unit: " .. unit)
    end
end

-- Example usage: Make the player face position (100, 200, 300)
FacePositionExample(100, 200, 300)

-- Example usage: Make the player face the target
FaceUnitExample("target")

-- Example usage: Check if the player is facing position (100, 200, 300)
CheckIfFacingPosition(100, 200, 300)

-- Example usage: Check if the player is facing the target
CheckIfFacingUnit("target")
