eyePos to players camera position

[Skirmish_ 0]

Okay, so i'm trying to get drawIcon3D to work the same way as the code below, however this only shows the units drawicon3d if the player's eyes are in view of the unit.  I would like for it to be in the view of the players camera (internal or external) rather than the eye position of the player, thanks in advance to anyone willing to help me as it has been annoying me for a long time.

 

if (!(lineIntersects [eyePos vehicle cameraOn, eyePos _unit, vehicle cameraOn, _unit]) && isNull objectParent _unit) then {

drawIcon3D['', _colour, _pos, 0, 1.0, 0, _name, 1, 0.0345, "RobotoCondensed", "center", false];

};

positionCameraToWorld ?

Would you be able to re-structure the if statement for me so I understand how to use it in the way that I want it to work?

Untested

if ( isNull objectParent _unit && { !(lineIntersects [positionCameraToWorld, eyePos _unit, cameraOn, _unit]) } ) then {
	drawIcon3D['', _colour, _pos, 0, 1.0, 0, _name, 1, 0.0345, "RobotoCondensed", "center", false];
};

Yeah I used the if statement and it threw this error:

Was using this for the test:

ShowNameTags = addMissionEventHandler ["Draw3D",{  
  _units = [];  
  {  
    if (side _x == civilian || side _x == west || side _x == independent) then {  
     _units pushBack _x;  
    };  
  } forEach allUnits;  
 
  {  
    _unit = _x; 
    _distance = cameraOn distance _unit;  
    _alpha = 1.5 - (_distance / 12);  
    _colour = [0,1,0,_alpha];  
    _crew = crew (vehicle _unit);  
    _veh = vehicle _unit;  
    _name = '';  
 
    { 
        _name = format ["%1", name _unit];  
  
   }forEach _crew;  
  
    _bounding = boundingBoxReal _veh;  
    _b1 = _bounding select 0;  
    _b2 = _bounding select 1;  
    _maxHeight = (abs ((_b2 select 2) - (_b1 select 2)));  
  
    _pos = visiblePosition _veh;  
    _height = (_b2 select 2) + ((getPosATL _veh) select 2);  
    _maxHeight = _maxHeight - 0.37;  
    _pos set[2,_height];  
    _pos = _unit modelToWorldVisual [((_unit selectionPosition "head") select 0)-0.05, ((_unit selectionPosition "head") select 1), ((_unit selectionPosition "head") select 2) + 0.7  + (_distance / 12) / 1.5];  
if ( isNull objectParent _unit && { !(lineIntersects [positionCameraToWorld, eyePos _unit, cameraOn, _unit]) } ) then { 
     drawIcon3D['', _colour, _pos, 0, 1.0, 0, _name, 1, 0.0345, "RobotoCondensed", "center", false];   
    };  
  }forEach _units; 
}];

Sorry I forgot to add the camera offset to the command. Tested, just removed some of your unused variables.

ShowNameTags = addMissionEventHandler [ "Draw3D", {

	{
		_unit = _x;

		_distance = cameraOn distanceSqr _unit;
		_colour = [ 0, 1, 0, 1.5 - ( _distance / ( 12^2 )) ];

		_name = "";
		{
			_name = format [ "%1%2%3", _name, [ endl, "" ] select ( _name == "" ), name _unit ];
		}forEach crew vehicle _unit;

		_unit selectionPosition "head" params[ "_headX", "_headY", "_headZ" ];
		_pos = _unit modelToWorldVisual [ _headX - 0.05, _headY, _headZ + 0.7  + (_distance / ( 12 ^ 2 )) / 1.5 ];
		if ( isNull objectParent _unit && { !( lineIntersects [ positionCameraToWorld [ 0, 0, 0 ], eyePos _unit, cameraOn, _unit ]) } ) then {
			drawIcon3D[ '', _colour, _pos, 0, 1.0, 0, _name, 1, 0.0345, "RobotoCondensed", "center", false ];
		};
	}forEach ( allUnits select { side _x in [ civilian, west, independent ] } );
}];

Thanks a lot for the help, however the line intersects doesn't actually work and i can see the tag through walls:

Because lineIntersect expects ASL positions.

ShowNameTags = addMissionEventHandler [ "Draw3D", {

	{
		_unit = _x;

		_distance = cameraOn distanceSqr _unit;
		_colour = [ 0, 1, 0, 1.5 - ( _distance / ( 12^2 )) ];

		_name = "";
		{
			_name = format [ "%1%2%3", _name, [ endl, "" ] select ( _name == "" ), name _unit ];
		}forEach crew vehicle _unit;

		_unit selectionPosition "head" params[ "_headX", "_headY", "_headZ" ];
		_pos = _unit modelToWorldVisual [ _headX - 0.05, _headY, _headZ + 0.7  + (_distance / ( 12 ^ 2 )) / 1.5 ];
		if ( isNull objectParent _unit && { !( lineIntersects [ AGLToASL positionCameraToWorld[ 0, 0, 0 ], eyePos _unit, cameraOn, _unit ]) } ) then {
			drawIcon3D[ '', _colour, _pos, 0, 1.0, 0, _name, 1, 0.0345, "RobotoCondensed", "center", false ];
		};
	}forEach ( allUnits select { side _x in [ civilian, west, independent ] } );
}];

Thanks a lot man, you helped me so much and I learned a lot from this
