Making interactWithEntity respect facing and field of view

[Andy718811]

Hello, thank you for your work on this project! I’ve been experimenting with entity interactions and currently have the following code:
int entity_id; //entity_id = game.entities.findClosestEntityById("minecraft:interaction"); entity_id = game.entities.findClosestEntityById("minecraft:cat"); player.interactions.interactWithEntity(entity_id);
This works for interacting with the closest entity, but I would like to know if there is a way to make the interaction feel more “legitimate.” Specifically:

Ensure the player is actually facing the target entity

Confirm the entity is within a reasonable field of view before interaction

Right now the logic is purely distance-based. Is there an existing API or recommended approach to add facing and FOV checks before calling interactWithEntity? Or should I implement my own angle/visibility calculation prior to invoking the interaction?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

player.target.hasEntity
player.target.getEntityId
player.target.findValidTargetPoint

I guess that are all helper methods for now you can use
