<br />
|example= If given two points and using mist.vec.sub to get the line vector, the line "drawn" from p2 to p1. <br />
<br />
local p1 = mist.utils.makeVec3GL(trigger.misc.getZone('z1').point)<br />
local p2 = mist.utils.makeVec3GL(trigger.misc.getZone('z2').point)<br />
local dir = mist.utils.getDir(mist.vec.sub(p1, p2))<br />
<br />
<br />
|notes= mist.getNorthCorrection is part of this function only if the optional variable is passed. <br />
<br />
With mist 4.0.59 the point variable is optional to allow for returning a "raw" heading between two points. <br />
