Description:
This will send a packet to server which is filled by the following parameters.


Parameters:

( keys, posx, posy, posz, angle, health, armour, weapon, speedx, speedy, speedz, aimposx, aimposy, aimposz, aimdirx, aimdiry, aimdirz, isCrouching )

keys : The npc's Game Keys to hold.
posx : The npc's position x co-ordinate.
posy  : The npc's position y co-ordinate.
posz  : The npc's position z co-ordinate.
angle : The npc's facing angle in radians.(-PI to PI ).
health : Health of the npc.
armour : Armour of the npc.
weapon : Weapon of the npc.
speedx : The npc's speed in x direction (supposed to be same as player.Speed.x on serverside )
speedy : The npc's speed in y direction ( " )
speedz : The npc's speed in z direction ( " )
aimposx : The x co-ordinate of aim position of NPC ( can be determined using server using player.AimPos or can be calculated artificially).
aimposy : The y co-ordinate of aim position of NPC
aimposz : The z co-ordinate of aim position of NPC
aimdirx : The x value given by player.Aimdir. (It is mostly 0 or PI )
aimdiry : The y value given by player.Aimdir.
aimdirz : The z value given by player.Aimdir. (usually ranges from -PI/2 to PI/2)
isCrouching : Whether the player is crouching. ( need not set to true even if aiming using weapons like ruger or sniper rifles. The logic is whether player has previously send 'Crouch Key'.)


Return Values:
This function does not return any specific values.

Important Note:
This was added in v1.3 and will not work in previous builds.

Example

function ShootAt(tPos)
{

	local Pos=GetMyPos();
	local angle= atan2(-(tPos.x-Pos.x), tPos.y-Pos.y);
	local aimPos=Vector(tPos.x,tPos.y,tPos.z);

	SendOnFootSyncData( 576,Pos.x,Pos.y, Pos.z, angle, GetPlayerHealth( npcid ), GetPlayerArmour( npcid ), 27, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, aimPos.x, aimPos.y, aimPos.z, PI, PI, Pos.x<tPos.x?PI/2:-PI/2, false ); /* See note */

}

function OnNPCConnect(myplayerid)
{
	npcid<-myplayerid;
}

Since it is difficult to calculate the aiming position and aim direction by npc, it has been found that npc can shoot a target almost accurately (an exception when the player is in the almost north of npc 3.10~3.14 ) when the aiming position of npc is set exactly as the target position and aiming direction z co-ordinate set as -PI/2 if player is to the west ( of npc's position with N (north pole) taking into account. npc angle will be positive ) or PI/2 if player is to the east of npc ( the angle of bot will be negative ).
