Editing makevectors

Syntax:<br/>
<code>makevectors(vector angles)</code>

Creates relative forward, right and up vectors with length 1 from angles.  These 3 directional vectors are stored in the global variables <code>v_forward</code>, <code>v_right</code> and <code>v_up</code> respectively.
Note that because these are global variables, running makevectors on another set of angles will destroy the previously calculated vectors.

-== Usage ==
+Creates relative forward, right and up vectors with length 1 from angles.  These 3 directional vectors are stored in the global variables <code>v_forward</code>, <code>v_right</code> and <code>v_up</code> respectively.
-Takes the passed angles and converts them into its three local axes i.e. its 3D rotation matrix. This is useful if you need to offset relative to an angle e.g. in the direction an entity is facing. Sets the following globals:
+Note that because these are global variables, running makevectors on another set of angles will destroy the previously calculated vectors.
-*'''v_forward'''
-:The facing direction of the passed angles.
-*'''v_up'''
-:The direction pointing 90 degrees up from the facing direction of the passed angles.
-*'''v_right'''
-:The direction pointing 90 degrees to the right of the facing direction of the passed angles.
-'''Warning:''' A bug exists with <code>vectoangles()</code> where the pitch is not negated correctly. If you pass the results of this function or the '''angles''' field of an entity, the pitch (the x value) must be negated first.
-=== Parameters ===
-*''angs''
-:The angles that will be used to generate the axes as (pitch, yaw, roll).
-== Example ==
- // Get the axes in the direction the player is looking
- makevectors(player.v_angle);
- // Offset 1024 map units in the direction the player is looking
- traceline(player.origin, player.origin + v_forward*1024, 0, player);
