VECTORS from BMAPs - 07/12/09 04:59

New question from the question machine....I was checking the manual and trying to find a command/keyword that would return the vector of a pixel directly without using trace...is there a way or do I need to use trace?

What is the vector of a pixel directly without using trace? Be more specific. The vector of a pixel is for me in the first place the color information.

I mean the world coordinate, I can use trace..I cannot think of another way.

Hmm I don't know if it would work, just a thought I had while reading this. But maybe you could just use the vector of the Bmap entity itself then offset the vector by the X and Y values where the pixel would be located (from the origin of the BMAP)? Even rotate the value if need be perhaps... Just an idea.

Edit added image, you would have to know which pixel you wanted for this to work. (if the BMAP were rotated, it would require more calculations)
