{{Server client function}}
This function returns a float containing the current rotation (in degrees) of the player. Its values lie between 0 and 359. This function can fail if the player is in a car. Use the [[getVehicleRotation]] function in this case. If this function does fail, the first argument will be set to 'false'.
