To get the direction of an object from the player:
<sqf>_dir = ((getPos _obj select 0) - (getPos player select 0)) atan2 ((getPos _obj select 1) - (getPos player select 1));
//_dir will be from -180 to 180.
</sqf>
If positive values are needed then use:
<sqf>if (_dir < 0) then {_dir = _dir + 360};</sqf>
Or just use [[BIS_fnc_dirTo]] directly.

Description

Description:
atan.jpg
ArcTangent of y/x. Used to determine the angle of a vector [y,x]. Result in Degrees between -180 and 180.
ⓘ
This command can handle x being 0, unlike when using atan, and will return 90
⚠
This command has higher precedence than the select command, therefore beware of the case below:

_pos select 0 atan2 (_pos select 1) // error (_pos select 0) atan2 (_pos select 1) // OK

Alternatively, consider using the # operator: _pos # 0 atan2 _pos # 1
Groups:
Math - Geometry

Syntax

Syntax:
y atan2 x
Parameters:
y: Number
x: Number
Return Value:
Number

Examples

Example 1:
_yx = [5,3]; _degrees = (_yx select 0) atan2 (_yx select 1); // 59.0362
Example 2:
Get direction from _obj1 to _obj2:
_vd = getPosASL _obj2 vectorDiff getPosASL _obj1; _dir = (_vd select 0) atan2 (_vd select 1); // _dir range from -180 to +180 _dir = (_dir + 360) % 360; // _dir range from 0 to 360
Example 3:
Get relative direction from _obj1 to _obj2:
_yx = _obj1 worldToModel getPosASL _obj2; _dir = (_yx select 0) atan2 (_yx select 1); // _dir range from -180 to +180 _dir = (_dir + 360) % 360; // _dir range from 0 to 360
