Postal III Ultrapatch+Angel v1.3.0+ Feature

The following function will only work in Postal III Ultrapatch+Angel v1.3.0 or higher.

Syntax


// Checks if it blocks line of sight
IfCanSee "[target/caller/player] Block begin"
    // stub
Block end

// Checks if it blocks line of sight AND if it faces the target
IfCanSee "[target:view/caller:view/player:view] Block begin"
    // stub
Block end

Note

This function doesn't support one line execution. It must have Block begin and Block end.

TODO: this should get fixed at some point

Example


// This will check if Player is visible regardless if it's facing it, and goes to a different pattern
pt_playercheck
{
    actions
    {
        TargetPlayer 1
        IfCanSee "target Block begin"
            Pattern pt_playersee
        Block end

        Pattern pt_playercheckagain
    }
}

// This check will only pass if the entity is facing the player and there's nothing that blocks it's line of sight
pt_playerlos
{
    actions
    {
        TargetPlayer 1
        IfCanSee "target:view Block begin"
            Pattern pt_attack
        Block end

        Pattern pt_end
    }
}
