Object rotation can be retrieved from objects in mapfiles or objects that are created in scripts.

float float float getObjectRotation ( object theObject )
Required Arguments
- theObject: The object whose rotation will be retrieved
Returns
Returns true if object exists, false otherwise.
Example
In this example, I refer to a mapfile object. The object is called "pirateship" in the mapfile. Here is the excerpt from the mapfile:
<object id="pirateship" posX="-1627.319092" posY="128.543411" posZ="6.581001" rotX="-0.760854" rotY="2.421000" rotZ="0.851000" model="8493"/>
root = getRootElement () addEventHandler ( "onMapLoad", root, "onMapLoad" ) function onMapLoad ( name, root ) pirateship = getElementByID ( "pirateship" ) if ( pirateship == false ) then outputChatBox ( "couldn't find the ship!" ) end rx, ry, rz = getObjectRotation ( pirateship ) outputChatBox ( "Ship RX = "..rx.." SHIP RY = "..ry.." SHIP RZ = "..rz ) end
Result in chatbox: Ship RX = 316.40628051758 SHIP RY = 2.421000 SHIP RZ = 0.851000
