Description

Description:

Returns object direction vector in world space ([x,y,z]).

⚠

The vector is not necessarily normalized. The magnitude of the vector will be the same as the object scale.

• A unit facing North would return [0,1,0]
• A unit facing East would return [1,0,0]
• A unit facing South would return [0,-1,0]
• A unit facing West would return [-1,0,0]
