I have asked this a long time ago but there was no real answer. I need to use this again so any new help may be useful.

I want to use linepick to target enemies. But does anyone have any examples on how to make the "line" rotate with the player. Like translating yaw or something.

When the man turns the linepick stays pointing in the wrong direction.

tformVector 0,0,1000,myPlayer,0
linepick(entityX(myPlayer,true),entityY(myPlayer,true),entityZ(myPlaer,true),tformedX(),tformedY(),tformedZ())

This'll do just that. you may want to change 1000 to minus 1000, depending on your models default pose.

And 1000 can safely be reduced or increased to tweak the range.
