Problem with Bis_fnc_dirTo

[panther42 40]

I'm trying to use BIS_fnc_DirTo, but am having problems with it giving me negative values...

Calling the function like this:

_align1 = (_aligns select 0);

_target setPosASL _align1;

_heading = [_plane, _target] call BIS_fnc_dirTo;
_dist = _plane distance _target;

[side _pilot,"base"] sidechat format["%1 first landing position follow heading %2 degs, distance %3 meters", _plane, _heading, _dist];

Most of the time it works fine, giving me positive heading values, but I get alot of negative values like this:

Functions module is on the map, waituntil {!isnil "bis_fnc_init"}; is in my init...

Any suggestions? I thought BIS_fnc_dirTo was supposed to give only positive values between 0 and 360...

Indeed, seems, that something is wrong with used in function code, that should ensure positive values. Maybe became obsolete? I don't know, anyway remedy is simple. Add this code:

if (_heading < 0) then {_heading = _heading + 360};

or even not use function at all and do this simple calculation yourself:

_align1 = (_aligns select 0);

_target setPosASL _align1;

_p1 = getPos _plane;
_p2 = getPos _target;

_dx = (_p2 select 0) - (_p1 select 0);
_dy = (_p2 select 1) - (_p1 select 1);

_heading = _dx atan2 _dy;
if (_heading < 0) then {_heading = _heading + 360};
_dist = _plane distance _target;

[side _pilot,"base"] sidechat format["%1 first landing position follow heading %2 degs, distance %3 meters", _plane, _heading, _dist];

Thanks Rydygier, I had found DirToPos function by snYpir on OFPEC, which checks if (_dir < 0) then { _dir = _dir + 360 }; and was going to use this one instead.

I just need to add:

if(typename _pos1 == "OBJECT") then {_pos1 = getpos _pos1};

if(typename _pos2 == "OBJECT") then {_pos2 = getpos _pos2};

so I can use objects or positions.

The BIS function checks:

_ret = _ret % 360; //ensure return is 0-360, but apparently isn't working correctly???

Thanks again
