You can emulate this function with the inverse cosine of the dot product of the vectors over the product of their magnitudes.

vangle( 

 vector3

   (   

   point("/obj/model/sphere1",0,P,0),

   point("/obj/model/sphere1",0,P,1),

   point("/obj/model/sphere1",0,P,2)

   ), 

 vector3

   ( 

   point("/obj/model/sphere2",0,P,0),

   point("/obj/model/sphere2",0,P,1),

   point("/obj/model/sphere2",0,P,2)

   )

)

/ -> echo `vangle( vector3(0,0,0),  vector3 ( 0,1,0 ))`
