Get direction of target from enemy position

[bigshotking 11]

I'm currently stuck on this little script of mine and was wondering if this is a quick fix.

I'm trying to get the direction of a static weapons target from the static weapon, if the target is not within the static weapons turn radius then the gunner will eject.

So my question is how do I get the targets direction from the static weapon?

Thanks in advance,

Try this, check the notes section. It is what I have used on a number of occasions. Just need to change it from being referenced to the player.

I cant seem to find any documentation on the BIS_fnc_DirTo. It's not in the wiki

...make a trigger / radio alpha:

on activation:

nul = [] call bis_fnc_help. -> Many useful fnc, also BIS_fnc_dirTo. ;)

Here's some code for it.... hope it helps you.

_x1 = getPos _staticweapon select 0;
_y1 = getPos _staticweapon select 1;

_x2 = getPos _target select 0;
_y2 = getPos _target select 1;

_dx = _x2 - _x1;
_dy = _y2 - _y1;

_direction = (_dx atan2 _dy) mod 360;
