use that function like this:
[position player,position object] call DirToPos

Should do the trick..

thanks HateR_Kint

I wanted this function to work in 1.46 so i had to make it into an sqs file and then execute it...

this is what i ended up with

Code: [Select]

_unit = _this select 0
_object = _this select 1

_posA = getpos _unit
_posB = getpos _object

_dir = ((_posB select 0) - (_posA select 0)) atan2 ((_posB select 1) - (_posA select 1))

?_dir < 0: _dir = _dir + 360

_dir = ((_dir + 0.5) - ((_dir + 0.5) % 1))

hint format ["%1",_dir]

exit
this will display the bearing as a whole number
