Description

Description:: Converts vector direction from model to world space.
⚠
For scaled objects, the resulting vector's magnitude will also be multiplied by the object scale.
Groups:: Math - Vectors

Syntax

Syntax:: object vectorModelToWorld modelDir
Parameters:: object: Object
: modelDir: Vector3D - vector direction in model space in format [x,y,z]
Return Value:: Vector3D - vector direction in world space

Examples

Example 1:: Convert model space vector [0,-10,4] to world space; vector gets rotated according to _airplane:
_airplane vectorModelToWorld [0,-10,4];
