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

Groups:: Math - Geometry

Syntax:: lineIntersects [begPos, endPos, objIgnore1, objIgnore2]
Parameters:: [begPos, endPos, objIgnore1, objIgnore2]: Array
: 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 intersection inside of it being reported
