Function Description
Vector RotatePosition(Vector origin, QAngle rotation, Vector inputVector)
Rotates a Vector around an origin point.
- Example
-- Converts a vector local to an entity into a world space vector.
--
-- Example: Get a vector 32 units in front of a player.
-- GlobalVectorFromLocal(Vector(32, 0, 0), myPlayerEntity)
--
function GlobalVectorFromLocal(localVec, entity)
-- Here RotatePosition() converts the local space vector into a world space offset from the entity
-- by rotating it by the entity orentation.
local offset = RotatePosition(Vector(0, 0, 0), entity:GetAngles(), localVec)
return entity:GetOrigin() + offset
end
Parameters
