| Function: | getDir | |
| Function Description: | Calculates the bearing in degrees from an initial vector to a destination vector using the atan2 function, adjusting for proper quadrant representation and returning a value between 0 and 360 degrees. | |
| File Location: | cmm.positionFunctions.lua | |
| Syntax: | CMM.getDir( table InitialVec , table DestinationVec ) | |
| Return Value: | number | |
| Parameters: | Name | Description |
| InitialVec | A vector table with x and optionally z or y components, representing the starting position or direction. | |
| DestinationVec | A vector table with x and optionally z or y components, representing the target position or direction. | |
| Example: | CMM.getDir({x=0, y=0}, {x=1, y=1}) | |
| Example Description: | Computes the bearing from origin to point (1,1), returning 45 degrees, demonstrating accurate direction calculation with proper component handling. | |
