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 official 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).
