GET_WIND_DIRECTION

Property	Value
Native Name	GET_WIND_DIRECTION
Hash	0x1F400FEF721170DA
Return Type	Vector3

Description: Used for hunting in singleplayer and for golfing in both sp and online. The GET_HEADING_FROM_VECTOR_2D native can be used to get the wind heading from the direction.

Examples

        local degrees = math.deg(math.atan(windDirection.x, windDirection.y))
        print("wind direction in degrees:", degrees)

        -- Draws an airplane marker above the player's head to show the wind direction
        local coords = GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId())
        DrawMarker(7, coords.x, coords.y, coords.z + 1.0, windDirection.x, windDirection.y, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 255, 128, 0, 50, false, false, 2, false, nil, nil, false)
