getAimDirectionAndUp

Description

Returns the aim direction and up vectors of a soldier in model space. It returns where the weapon aim is wanted from the eyePos, not the actual weapon direction. For actual weapon direction, see weaponDirection.

Syntax

getAimDirectionAndUp [soldier, isRenderScope]

Parameters:

• soldier: Object - The soldier entity. The soldier must either be on foot or in a turret.
• isRenderScope: Boolean - (Optional, default false) Whether to use render scope to get the vector. (render scope is smoother for visualizing the vector in 3D)

Returns: Array - in format [directionForward, directionUp] in soldier's model space

Examples

Example 1

onEachFrame
{
    getAimDirectionAndUp [player] params ["_dir", "_up"];
    private _dirWS = player vectorModelToWorld _dir;
    private _upWS = player vectorModelToWorld _up;
    private _eyePos = eyePos player;
    drawLine3D [ASLtoAGL _eyePos, ASLtoAGL (_eyePos vectorAdd _dirWS), [1,0,0,1]];
}
