    {
        new string[128],
            Float:originX, Float:originY, Float:originZ,
            Float:hitPosX, Float:hitPosY, Float:hitPosZ;

        GetPlayerLastShotVectors(playerid, originX, originY, originZ, hitPosX, hitPosY, hitPosZ);
        
        format(string, sizeof(string), "Last Shot Information: Origin: %f, %f, %f. Hit position: %f, %f, %f", originX, originY, originZ, hitPosX, hitPosY, hitPosZ);
        SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, string);
        return 1;

Notes

warning

This function will only work when lag compensation is enabled.
If the player hit nothing, the hit positions will be 0. This means you can't currently calculate how far a bullet travels through open air.
