Description

Description:
Returns position that is given distance and relative direction away from original object. The alternative syntax available from Arma 3 v 2.14, returns the position offset of the attached object. If the animated memory point is used for attachment, the offset is calculated in render scope.
Groups:
Positions

Syntax

Syntax:
object getRelPos [distance, direction]
Parameters:
object: Object - object
distance: Number - distance from object
direction: Number - direction relative to object's current direction
Return Value:
Array format PositionAGL

Alternative Syntax

Syntax:
obj1 getRelPos obj2
Parameters:
obj1: Object - parent object
obj2: Object - attached object
Return Value:
Array format PositionRelative

Examples

Example 1:
Find position 100 metres away at player's 3 o'clock:
_relpos = player getRelPos [100, 90];
