# GetPlayerCameraTargetObject

warning

This function was added in SA-MP 0.3.7 and will not work in earlier versions!

## Description

Allows you to retrieve the ID of the object the player is looking at.

{
    globalObjectID = CreateObject(1337, 0.0, 0.0, 3.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
    return 1;
}

public OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[])
{
    if (!strcmp(cmdtext, "/check", true))
    {
        new objectid = GetPlayerCameraTargetObject(playerid);
        if (objectid == globalObjectID)
        {
            SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "You're looking at your object.");
        }
        else if (objectid == INVALID_OBJECT_ID) // INVALID_OBJECT_ID = 65535
        {
            SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "You're not looking at any object.");
        }
        return 1;
    }
    return 0;
