Starting from point A, get location X distance along given direction

anonymous_user_d4aafd42 · January 17, 2016, 7:59am

We have 2 points. Point A and Point B.
We want to create a new point (Point C) that is located 100 units away from point A in the direction of point B.

GetDirectionVector will give me the direction from Point A to Point B.
How do i actually work out the position 100 units along that direction starting from Point A.

Thanks guys,
Vector math is the bane of my existence ;).

Thanks. As a side question, how do you add those little dots to the connection lines?

Double click the line, it will add what is called a Reroute node.

It looks like “Get Direction Vector” has been replaced with “Get Unit Direction (Vector)”
