Description
- Description:
- Returns the direction that the vehicle weapon is aiming in.
For addons the weapon name must be an entry in CfgWeapons.
Returns an array in format [x, y, z]
- Groups:
- Uncategorised
Syntax
- Syntax:
- vehicleName weaponDirection weaponName
- Parameters:
- vehicleName: Object
- weaponName: String
- Return Value:
- Array - format Vector3D
Examples
- Example 1:
_weaponVectorDir = player weaponDirection currentWeapon player;- Example 2:
- Draw AI eye direction (green) and weapon direction (red) in 3D:
bob = createGroup east createUnit ["O_Soldier_F", [0,0,0], [], 0, "NONE"]; bob setVehiclePosition [player modelToWorld [0,100,0], [], 0, "NONE"]; onEachFrame { _beg = ASLToAGL eyePos bob; _endE = (_beg vectorAdd (eyeDirection bob vectorMultiply 100)); drawLine3D [ _beg, _endE, [0,1,0,1]]; _endW = (_beg vectorAdd (bob weaponDirection currentWeapon bob vectorMultiply 100)); drawLine3D [_beg, _endW, [1,0,0,1]]; };

Works great in multiplayer.
The numbers are representing offset as follows : [X axis,Y axis,Z axis]
The return array can be processed-converted into degrees as follows:
_array = _this weaponDirection "weapon class" ; _dir_degrees = (_array select 0) atan2 (_array select 1); - Posted on November 11, 2007 - 01:41

- WeaponClass can only be the primary turret of the vehicle. For example it is not possible to get direction of commander's M2 on M1Abrams.

For an alternative to the weaponDirection command, see the following post on the offical forums. On how to obtain the direction of multiple turrets on vehicles.

- The suggestion above using atan2 and weaponDirection get the direction the barrel of a weapon is pointing, but this is not the same as the direction a shell will be fired (verify this by getting in an M4 Scorcher, parking it on a slope, elevating the barrel "across" the slope and watching the shell come out in third person).
