viz.look

i am confused as to how this works, and i can't find any documentation for it either...i am trying to create a vector out the front of the car i am driving in but the vector always goes out the back even when i'm driving forward... here's what my code looks like:


#Get the car's current position.
current = car.get(viz.POSITION)
#Get the vector for the direction in which the car is positioned.
vector = car.get(viz.LOOK)
#Find the car's future position if it travels along the vector 30 meters.
future = vizmat.MoveAlongVector(current, vector,30)
#Draw a line between the current and future positions and
#see if it intersects anything.
hit = viz.intersect(current, future)
viz.startlayer(viz.LINE_LOOP)
viz.vertexcolor(viz.RED)
viz.vertex(current)
viz.vertex(future)
line = viz.endlayer()


thanks

To reverse the direction of a vector, multipy it by a negative. I would change the following in your code:

future = vizmat.MoveAlongVector(current, vector,-30) #added a negative sign
