I want to rotate x degrees and shoot out on a radius that is r long. From the origin <<0,0,0>>

I've been converting degrees to radians and using the rot() function to get the rotational value.
But I don't know how to place the vector point the Radius distance out.

I got it figured out.

I have to use the unit command to normalize my vector then mulitply the radius by the vector
