Syntax:
makevectors(vector angles)

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