=== sysVectorPolarVelocity ===

See [[http://xelerus.de/index.php?s=functions&function=327|sysVectorPolarVelocity at Xelerus]]

^ Syntax | (sysVectorPolarVelocity number number) |
^ Arguments | number: The angle of the vector from 0 to 360. 0 is to the right. |
^ | number: the speed of the vector (in % of c) |
^ Returns | velVector: returns the new velocity vector |
^ Category | [[system functions|system]], [[vector operator functions|vector operator]] |
^ Description | A useful wrapper function for other velocity operator functions that require messy velVector arguments. |

=== Example ===

<code lisp>(objSetVel gPlayerShip (sysVectorPolarVelocity (shpGetDirection gPlayerShip) 50))</code>

Will cause the playership to scream forward at 50% lightspeed.
A necessary function if you are using objIncVel or objSetVel which take velVectors as their velocity arguments.
