I have no idea if there is a specific script for this, but what I would try is something like this:
Code: Select all
local.triglook = spawn trigger_multiple
local.triglook.origin = ( xxx xxx xxx)
local.triglook setsize ( -xxx -xxx -xxx )
local.triglook setthread look
look:
local.player = parm.other
local.player tele local.player.origin ( 0 90 0)
end
I believe that is how you write the tele script, but I'm not entirely sure.
That should make them look in a certain direction whenever they land on a certain spot. Hope this helps.

you can use,
Code: Select all
local.player.viewangles = ( 0 0 0 ) /*set to what angles you want*/
The player will still beable to move there view after its changed, not sure on how you would freeze the view once its changed.

I tested out the viewangles script and it worked just fine for me.

Face is about the same as viewangles
face( Vector angles )
Force angles to specified vector
$player
face ( 0 30 0 )
something like that I don't use it much just thought I's mention it I don't know why .
