Description:: Returns objects intersecting with the virtual line from begPos to endPos. By default resulting array of intersecting objects is unsorted. To sort by distance set sortByDistance param to true.

Doesn't work under water. Max hardcoded distance is 1000m.

Syntax:: lineIntersectsWith [begPos, endPos, objIgnore1, objIgnore2, sortByDistance]
Parameters:: [begPos, endPos, objIgnore1, objIgnore2, sortByDistance]: Array
: begPos: PositionASL - virtual line start
: endPos: PositionASL - virtual line end
: 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
: sortByDistance: (optional) Boolean - true: Sort by distance => furthermost object first, closest object last; false: unsorted
Return Value:: Array - intersecting objects

Example 1:: _objects = lineIntersectsWith [eyePos player, AGLtoASL screenToWorld [0.5,0.5]];
Example 2:: Sort by distance: _objects = lineIntersectsWith [eyePos player, AGLtoASL screenToWorld [0.5,0.5], objNull, objNull, true];
Example 3:: Ignore objects: _objects = lineIntersectsWith [eyePos player, aimPos chopper, player, chopper];
