Works great in multiplayer.
The numbers are representing offset as follows : [X axis,Y axis,Z axis]
The return array can be processed-converted into degrees as follows:
_array = _this weaponDirection "weapon class" ; _dir_degrees = (_array select 0) atan2 (_array select 1); - Posted on November 11, 2007 - 01:41

- WeaponClass can only be the primary turret of the vehicle. For example it is not possible to get direction of commander's M2 on M1Abrams.
