Hi guys.
I have an Actor with Location1 and Rotation1. My location is Location2.
How can i know i'm right or left from the Actor???

Actually the xyz co-ordinates are important. They determine which way you will be going.

Use dot product and getaxes:

	local vector X,Y,Z;
	GetAxes(Rotation1,X,Y,Z);
	if( (Y Dot (Location2 - Location1))<0 )
		// left side...
	else // right side.

That's not what he's asking. He is asking for a generic method that works for any (location, rotation, location) tuple, not, whether given a specific set of values , if they're left or right of each other. The code Marco gave does just that, determines right or left without hard coding anything.

Ohh, Marco. Thx a lot.
