[[getPos]] vs [[getRelPos]]: [[getRelPos]] operates similarly to [[getPos]] except in [[getRelPos]] the direction is calculated 'relative' to the current object direction whereas [[getPos]]'s direction is from North. Thus while [[getPos]] can take a position array as it is starting point, [[getRelPos]] requires an object with its own azimut heading. | |text= [[getPos]] vs [[getRelPos]]: [[getRelPos]] operates similarly to [[getPos]] except in [[getRelPos]] the direction is calculated 'relative' to the current object direction whereas [[getPos]]'s direction is from North.
