Description

Description:
An object with its vectorDir, vectorUp and vectorSide (vectors not to scale)

Returns an object's side vector in world space.

The vector is not necessarily normalized. The magnitude of the vector depends on the object's scale.
Groups:
Math - Vectors

Syntax

Syntax:
vectorSide object
Parameters:
object: Object
Return Value:
Array format Vector3D

Examples

Example 1:
_vecSide = vectorSide MyObject;
