Retrieve the rotation of elements. Only clientside before 1.0.4

Syntax

float float float getElementRotation ( element theElement [, string rotOrder = "default" ] )

Required Arguments

  • theElement: The element whose rotation will be retrieved

Optional Arguments

{{{4}}}

Returns

  • rx, ry, rz: 3 floats representing the Euler rotation angles on the axis X, Y and Z (with the rotation order depending on the rotOrder argument) if element exists and is a valid element, false if it's invalid.

Example

If a player points at a player element with a gun, its rotation will appear in the chat box.

        local x,y,z = getElementRotation ( targetElem )
        outputChatBox ( "Target player rotation: " .. x .. " " .. y .. " " .. z )
    end
end
addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerTarget", getRootElement(), onPlayerTargeted )
