setPedAimTarget doesn't work on players

[ArranTuna]

Describe the bug
setPedAimTarget has no effect on players.

Expected behavior
setPedAimTarget should work, at least when the camera isn't focused on the local player. That would give scripters more control over shooting, especially when they want to script the camera themselves (such as FPS).

Without this thing, you can't do your own custom hud with aim target.

When making an FPS type camera I encounter the same issue. I think that maybe it isn't posible to do that because sync or maybe because it could be exploited from a client to make a sort of autoaim, thing that i doubt.

Indeed useful for recoil, auto-aim, sniper-scope sway and maybe even more stuff.

What happens if you comment this out:
void CClientPed::SetTargetTarget ( unsigned long ulDelay, const CVector& vecSource, const CVector& vecTarget )
{
if ( !m_bIsLocalPlayer ) <---------------

As a temp fix, you can set the camera target using setCameraTarget (a new "overloading" has been added in r5212).

The aiming offsets which you'll need for the calculation are on my wiki page.

I would really like to see this fixed because i am working on a script that requires the local player to aim at a certain point while the camera is set by setCameraMatrix(). However, has still no one tried commenting out "if ( !m_bIsLocalPlayer )" ? I would try it myself but i have no clue where to find that code snippet and how to compile it after changing it.

I tried removing all local player checks and it still didn't change the aiming direction of the local player.
