outdated function?/Wiki entry

hello there,

 

I am currently trying with cursorTargets/objects and found this:

 

 

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/reveal

 

Example 2:

player reveal cursorTarget; //player receives information about the object below its cursor

 

 

 

seems not to work anymore, i get no error, but also no value here?

u misunderstood that comment in the wiki. reveal is something like a network update for objects.

cursorTarget w9ks this way:

_target = cursorTarget;

it gives u the current target near players weapon cursor. i use it in some scripts and it works.

edit:

what u r doing in ur post is just updating the clients informations about the object near players cursorTarget. it throws no error because it could be a desired thing. but in this case its not ur thing :)

That example "reveals" the current object under the cursor on the client. The reveal increases the knowsAbout value, which it what make AI see / know about each other. And essentially go into combat

ah! so its more a visual reveal instead of getting info what is on the cursorTarget!?

Well not really, it's more AI related.

 

It increases the knowsAbout value, read more here
