Strange vector position

Hey,

I have been racking my brain over a way to get a world position vector directly to the right of a thing's look vector, and I have as yet been unable to do it. Does anyone have any ideas?

Fire a projectile from the thing with a timer.

Simple.

Code:

VectorAdd(GetThingPos(player), VectorScale(GetThingRVec(player), yourDist));

That will return a position that's yourDist JKUs from the right of the player.
