setVector Function Request

[UNN 0]

Anyone able to write a function(s) that would ensure an object attached to an aircraft, will always point north with 0 pitch and bank?

Afraid my maths isn't up to it :(

Thanks, but I'm aware of the script commands. See the opening post, I need a function to achieve whats requested there, using any or all of the available vector commands.

Sorry, looks like I posted this question in the ARMA - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING thread, instead of ARMA2 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING.

Please delete if required.

vectorDir Hmm?

returning value [x, z, y]

if [0, 1, 0] - objects points to the N

it uses normalized vector (vector with magnitude = 1, easily convertable to angles between object's vectors and axises) to determine direction in Oxz plane

     N (z)

Ox - W->E axis
Oz - S->N axis
