BIS fnc dirIndicator?

[gossamersolid 155]

I saw this on the BIKI:

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_dirIndicator

I'm not too sure what it's usage is as I attempted to use it and couldn't tell what it was supposed to do.

Has anybody else figured out what it exactly does?

It's the green ( ) indicator at the bottom of the screen (obscured by ftHud) that highlights which direction ... something is.

Can you take a screenshot of a sample? I seem to not be able to get it working still.

The example in the Biki is actually red, but it's green in the PMC campaign.

Place a unit, Rifleman in this case, and name it "TheBoss". Then place the Functions Module on the map and in your Player's init put:

[player,TheBoss,[0.706,0.0745,0.0196,1]] call bis_fnc_dirIndicator;

Notice when you're facing TheBoss the forward/top quarter is highlighted. When you turn away to the left, so TheBoss is to your right, then the right quarter is highlighted as seen in the inlay above.
