Code: [Select]

void Main()
{
   Vector3 velocityVector;
   Quaternion orientation;
   Vector3 localZVector;
   iObjectVelocity(OBJ_0,velocityVector); // OBJ_0 = CAR 
   iObjectOrientation(OBJ_0,orientation);
   iVectorRotate(localZVector,Vector3(0,0,1),orientation);
   float dotProduct = iVectorDot(localZVector,velocityVector);
   if (dotProduct > 0.01)
   {
      // CAR GOING FORWARD
   }
   else if (dotProduct < -0.01)
   {
      // CAR GOING REVERSE
   }
   else
   {
      // CAR STILL
   }
}

And this is the first use of dotproduct (misty math function for me) I've met in
the forum.
