checking if event facing player

[wickednick]

Hello, is there a script call to check if an event is facing the player? Im using some proximity event sensor scripts, but I have an issue because I only want the event to trigger if its facing the player. I know you can check to see if an event is facing up,down,left,right, but I need it to know if its actually facing the player.

See if this works for you. Read plugin help before.

How to access the event's current direction via script call

$gameMap.event(this._eventId).direction()

How to access the opposite direction of the player's current direction

$gamePlayer.reverseDir($gamePlayer.direction())

Solution
Within a conditional branch, test these two for equality

$gameMap.event(this._eventId).direction() === $gamePlayer.reverseDir($gamePlayer.direction());

If the comparison returns true, it is implied that the two are facing one another.

thats awesome thank you

So .direction means the way its currently facing and .reverseDir is checking what exactly, the position of the events backside? What would be the call for checking the side, .sideDir?
