Getting object's aiming position

[Pint0 Xtreme 10]

Is there any way to get the position where an object's weapon is aiming at? For example, if someone is aiming their weapon and it intersects with position (x,y,z) on the map, how do I get those coordinates? I've searched the forums and I've looked at various aim-related functions (aimPos, weaponAimingAt, etc.) and none seem to give the me the answer I'm looking for. I've also looked at the list of Event Handlers with no avail. Has anyone done this before?

Pint0, can you give me an exhaustive list of the functions you found?

Also, are the two functions you listed in ArmA? When I search for them on the Biki, it says they're VBS2 only.

One function I've found is weaponDirection. This tells you what direction the weapon is aiming.

However, this vector cannot tell you a position in space by itself. After some experimentation, I found that, given a vehicle _x (specifically an M119):

_originalAimDirection = weaponDirection _x;
_x doWatch (getpos _x) + (100 * _originalAimDirection);
sleep 5;
weaponDirection _x != _originalAimDirection;

I don't know what reference point weaponDirection is using, but it's not the vehicle's position, or the gunner's.

(I myself would love to know how, given a vector to aim on, to get a vehicle to aim on that vector. I want to make player-controlled artillery batteries.)

I've basically looked these lists:

I don't know how I missed weaponDirection but at least it seems like a start. The vector provided gives you the direction of the weapon but then you'd have to figure out the coordinates of where it intersects with the map (if it does). Or perhaps there's a way to detect bullets hitting the surface and finding the location of those points.

Sorry for the slow response. This is for anybody.
