Description:: Checks for object intersection with a virtual line between two positions. Returns true if intersects with an object.
Groups:: Uncategorised

Syntax:: lineIntersects [begPos, endPos, objIgnore1, objIgnore2]
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
Return Value:: Boolean - true if intersection

Example 1:

lineIntersects [eyePos player, aimPos chopper, player, chopper]
