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

CreateThread(function()
    while true do
        local windDirection = GetWindDirection()

        -- Gets the wind direction in degrees (math.atan converts the inverse tangent into radians and then math.deg converts it from radians to degrees)
        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)

        -- Get world heading from the direction
        print("wind direction in world heading:", GetHeadingFromVector_2d(windDirection.x, windDirection.y))
