Calculate compass direction of detected targets

[Ares Halostar]

I am making a simple combat prim that is worn above the head, giving basic info like health, but now I want to add a limited radar that gives target name, distance and which compass direction it is from the avatar. 

I can do the radar easily with distance, but getting a compass direction for each target is a headache.

This has me stumped and if anyone can provide some simple code, I'd appreciate it.

The llAtan2 function can be useful here. And it just so happens that an example exists on the wiki that is pretty much the application you're looking for.

Brilliant.  Perfect for what I need.  Sometimes you just can't find what is staring you in the face.

 

Thanks for that.
