EntityPick:Int32 entity:Int32, range:Float32

Parameter	Mode	Type	Default	Description
entity	In	Int32	required	The entity that looks.
range	In	Float32	required	Distance to look, in world units.

Returns: The entity found, or 0.

Description

Looks straight ahead along the entity's own Z axis, as far as the range, and returns the first pickable entity. The entity itself is never found. Use it for shots fired from a gun entity or for "what am I facing" checks. The range is multiplied by the entity's Z scale, so a scaled entity looks proportionally further.
