Not sure if you can use setTargetEnt() in COD2 MP, but in COD4...

setEntTarget() is CoD4 only, you can use Tally's code, but you need to set the origin of the hud every frame to the players origin (this looks abit laggy though)

No, it's in COD2 for sure but it must be Single Player only.

Indeed, it is only available in SP. But it might be possible to port it to MP.
Edit: isn't in SP either. I posted the wrong function.. (for turret).

COD4

		int __cdecl sub_808F8EA(int a1)
{
  int *v1; // ebx@2
  int result; // eax@3
  char v3; // [sp+8h] [bp-10h]@0

  if ( HIWORD(a1) == 1 )
  {
    v1 = &dword_8335620[43 * (unsigned __int16)a1];
  }
  else
  {
    sub_815F134("not a hud element");
    v1 = 0;
  }
  result = sub_80C76EC(0);
  v1[4] = *(_DWORD *)result;
  if ( !(*(_BYTE *)(result + 246) & 0x10) )
    result = sub_81228D4(
               15,
               "SetTargetEnt() called on a non-broadcasting entity, may not show in client snapshots.",
               v3);
  return result;
} 
	

COD2 turrent setTargetEntity (not a hud function, oops).

		int __cdecl GScr_SetTargetEntity(int a1)
{
  char *v1; // ebx@2
  int v2; // ebx@3
  int result; // eax@3
  char v4; // al@5
  int v5; // eax@5
  int v6; // ebx@5

  if ( HIWORD(a1) )
  {
    Scr_ObjectError("not an entity");
    v1 = 0;
    if ( v10C )
      goto LABEL_3;
  }
  else
  {
    v1 = (char *)&g_entities + 508 * (unsigned __int16)a1;
    if ( *((_DWORD *)v1 + 67) )
    {
LABEL_3:
      v2 = *((_DWORD *)v1 + 67);
      result = Scr_GetEntity(0);
      *(_DWORD *)(v2 + 16) = result;
      return result;
    }
  }
  v4 = SL_ConvertToString(*((_WORD *)v1 + 140));
  v5 = va("entity type '%s' is not a turret", v4);
  Scr_Error(v5);
  v6 = *((_DWORD *)v1 + 67);
  result = Scr_GetEntity(0);
  *(_DWORD *)(v6 + 16) = result;
  return result;
}

Nice

		    v1 = (char *)&g_entities + 508 * (unsigned __int16)a1;
    if ( *((_DWORD *)v1 + 67) ) 
	

How do you know such things? (magic numbers etc)

[Mitch]

Nice

I searched it that function name in the Mac binary. It contains all the functions names and more.

Edit: you only need the code within else curly brackets.

Rawr. If I had known this I could have probably saved 10+ hours going through code.

EDIT: Could you upload the mac binaries for those of us that have never touched a mac?
