Syntax

static FVector2D GetAzimuthAndElevation
(
    const FVector & Direction,
    const FVector & AxisX,
    const FVector & AxisY,
    const FVector & AxisZ
)

Remarks

Returns Azimuth and Elevation of vector 'Direction' in coordinate system O(AxisX,AxisY,AxisZ).

Orientation: (consider 'O' the first person view of the player, and 'Direction' a vector pointing to an enemy)

positive azimuth means enemy is on the right of crosshair. (negative means left).
positive elevation means enemy is on top of crosshair, negative means below.

Returns

FVector2D X = Azimuth angle (in radians) (-PI, +PI) Y = Elevation angle (in radians) (-PI/2, +PI/2)

Parameters

Parameter	Description
Direction	Direction of target.
AxisX	X component of reference system.
AxisY	Y component of reference system.
AxisZ	Z component of reference system.
