util.IsPointInCone

  boolean util.IsPointInCone( Vector point, Vector coneOrigin, Vector coneAxis, number coneSine, number coneLength )

Description

Returns whether a point is within a cone or not.

Arguments

1 Vector point
The position of the point to test.
2 Vector coneOrigin
The position of the cone tip.
3 Vector coneAxis
The direction of the cone.
4 number coneSine
The sine of the cone's angle.
5 number coneLength
Length of the cone's axis.

Returns

1 boolean
true if the point is within the cone, false otherwise.
