Support_ContainerRayCast - Making raycasting easier, one line at a time

Title:
Support for Container Raycasts

Author:
Meshiest

Description:
Shortens the amount of lines used in container Raycasts for players
This is also a resource

Usage:
Turning this:

Code:

%start = %this.getEyePoint();
%vec  = %this.getEyeVector();
%end  = vectorAdd(%start,vectorScale(%vec,%distance));
%ray = containerRaycast(%start,%end,%type,%this);
%col = firstWord(%ray);

into this:

Code:

%playerObject.getRayCastObject(%distance,"TypeMask [player/p,vehicle/v,brick/b,alwaysbrick/ab]")

FOR EXAMPLE, if you wanted to get the first vehicle in sight for 64 bricks (32 torque units) you would do:

Code:

talk(findclientbyname("Meshiest").player.getRayCastObject(32,"vehicle"));

and it would return the ID of the first vehicle in front of the player within 64 bricks (32 torque units)
