getCameraViewDirection unit

Parameters:

• unit: Object

Returns: Array - 3D Vector

Examples

Example 1

Draw AI eye direction (green), weapon direction (red) and camera direction (blue) in 3D:

Bob = createGroup east createUnit ["O_Soldier_F", [0,0,0], [], 0, "NONE"];
Bob setVehiclePosition [player modelToWorld [0,100,0], [], 0, "NONE"];
onEachFrame {
    _beg = ASLToAGL eyePos Bob;
    _endE = (_beg vectorAdd (eyeDirection Bob vectorMultiply 100));
    drawLine3D [_beg, _endE, [0,1,0,1]];
    _endW = (_beg vectorAdd (Bob weaponDirection currentWeapon Bob vectorMultiply 100));
    drawLine3D [_beg, _endW, [1,0,0,1]];
    _endV = (_beg vectorAdd (getCameraViewDirection Bob vectorMultiply 100));
    drawLine3D [_beg, _endV, [0,0,1,1]];
};
