Hello, I have a question. I'm making an FPS and I need to know: How would I find the angle of a picked surface using CameraPick? I'm wonderering, so that I might be able line up bullethole sprites with the walls at picked coordinates. Thanks!

PickedNX, PickedNY, PickedNZ sound like they do what you want.

Using those normal getter functions along with VectorPitch() and VectorYaw() should retrieve the angle of the normals in world space.

displacementFromWall# = 0.01 PositionEntity bulletHole, PickedX()+PickedNX() * displacementFromWall, PickedY()+PickedNY() * displacementFromWall, PickedZ()+PickedNZ() * displacementFromWall AlignToVector bulletHole, PickedNX(), PickedNY(), PickedNZ(),3; play with the last axis parameter
