Get forward like in the game state integration

[lucasreppewelander]

Hello, I'm trying to parse where a player is looking and from what I can see I can only get the pitch and `yaw. At first glance, thinking from a 2d perspective, this would be the best way to determine where the player is looking, but I seem to fail to get the correct value (i.e the player on my canvas is looking at the wrong direction).

I do have a function which works with the CSGO game state integration and there I get the forward in this form:

position: '-258.71, -2152.25, -173.31',
forward: '0.41, 0.91, -0.02',

I've seen that there is something like aimDirection on the usercmd event or similar but I fail to understand how to use this on a certain tick/event? And I'm not sure if this is even what I am looking for.

Do you guys have any idea of how to obtain the forward from either the pitch & yaw from player.eyeAngles or from another prop on the player? I'm trying to get this player information on certain events like player_death and etc.

Thanks

eyeAngles should give you the direction that the player is looking in degrees. If you're working in 2D, then you only need to look at the yaw. Have you tried using cl_showpos 2 to check what direction 0º/90º/etc yaw is?
