Description

Description:
Returns a unit vector that 'points' from vector1 to vector2. This is a very useful function as it can be used with the velocity command to move an object from one position to another (i.e vector1 to vector2).
ⓘ
Ensure both positions are found using getPosASL.
Arma 3
Since Arma 3 logo black.png1.26 For better performance, use the vectorFromTo command instead.
Execution:
call
Groups:
Vectors

Syntax

Syntax:
[vector1, vector2] call BIS_fnc_vectorFromXToY
Parameters:
vector1: Array
vector2: Array
Return Value:
Array

Examples

Example 1:
private _resultVector = [getPosASL vehicle player, getPosASL airTarget] call BIS_fnc_vectorFromXToY;
