Description
- Description:
- Returns position that is given distance and relative direction away from original object. The alternative syntax available from Arma 3 v 2.14, returns the position offset of the attached object. If the animated memory point is used for attachment, the offset is calculated in render scope.
- Groups:
- Positions
Syntax
- Syntax:
- object getRelPos [distance, direction]
- Parameters:
- object: Object - object
- distance: Number - distance from object
- direction: Number - direction relative to object's current direction
- Return Value:
- Array format PositionAGL
Alternative Syntax
- Syntax:
- obj1 getRelPos obj2
- Parameters:
- obj1: Object - parent object
- obj2: Object - attached object
- Return Value:
- Array format PositionRelative
Examples
- Example 1:
- Find position 100 metres away at player's 3 o'clock:

- getPos vs getRelPos: getRelPos operates similarly to getPos except in getRelPos the direction is calculated 'relative' to the current object direction whereas getPos's direction is from North. Thus while getPos can take a position array as it is starting point, getRelPos requires an object with its own azimut heading.
