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;
