Hello all,

does anyone know of a way to convert the eyeoffset of a weapon to the world coordinates ? if not can you point me in a direction ?

I've been looking at geom/trig function all morning and can't seem to figure it out

thanks - kevin

Why does the weapon have an eye?

Anyways.

Get the transform of your player:

%trans = %player.getTransform();

then multiply your eye offset by that:
%eyeInWorld = MatrixMulPoint(%trans, %eyeOffset);


It is left up to you to fill in %player and %eyeOffset.

Why can't you manipulate the eye node? Just make a node, name it 'eye' and move it. Then reexport any animations that might affect it.
