Calculate Vector from 2 positions

[Einheit-101]

Hello community.

I have a question related to Vector calculation. I got 2 Objects with their X Y Z coordinates and i want to calculate a velX, velY and velZ from object 1 to object 2.

I am still searching on the internet for a solution but i cant find what i want. Could anyone please help me with this problem?

Take away one object's X, Y and Z from another object's X, Y and Z.

local x,y,z = getElementPosition( obj1 ); 
local x1,y1,z1 = getElementPosition( obj2 ); 
local yourVector = { x-x1, y-y1, z-z1 }; 

I hope that's what you want.

Yes, my friend, thank you! This exactly does what i was searching for! Unfortunately “getVehicleComponentPosition“ does not return useful xyz values for the misc_c component, so i have to wait with my script until there is something like “x,y,z = getVehicleMuzzlePosition(theVehicle)“. I wanted to create a custom Rhino cannon, but it seems that CLEO is more advanced with vehicle scripting functions than MTA...
