Description:: Returns objects intersecting with the virtual line from begPos to endPos.
Groups:: Uncategorised

Syntax:: lineIntersectsWith [begPos, endPos, withObj, ignoreObj, sortByDist]
Parameters:: begPos: PositionASL
: endPos: PositionASL
: objIgnore1: (optional) Object object to ignore. When testing intersection from an object/unit/vehicle, pass that object here to prevent intersection inside of the object.
: objIgnore2: (optional) Object another object to ignore. When testing intersection of a line between two objects, pass the second object here to prevent interesection inside of it being reported
: sortByDist: (optional) Boolean - sort intersecting objects by distance
Return Value:: Array - intersecting objects

Example 1:

lineIntersectsWith [getPosASL player, getPosASL chopper, player, chopper]
