Description

This function gets the rotation of a vehicle along the X, Y, and Z axes in degrees.

Note: rotation Z returns value in CCW (counter-clock wise). So 3 o'clock is not 90 degrees, it's actually 270 degrees and 9 o'clock is not 270 degrees, it's 90 degrees. To fix this use: (180-rotZ)+180

Syntax

float float float getVehicleRotation ( vehicle theVehicle )

Required Arguments

  • theVehicle: The vehicle whose rotation you want to retrieve.

Returns

Returns three floats indicating the X, Y, and Z rotations of the vehicle in degrees, or false if the specified vehicle does not exist.

Example

This example creates a vehicle and gets its rotation: 

local newHydra = createVehicle ( 520, 1024, 1024, 1024 ) -- create a Hydra
local rx, ry, rz = getVehicleRotation ( newHydra ) -- get the vehicle's x, y and z rotations and store them in rx, ry, and rz
outputChatBox ( "Current rotation: " .. rx .. " " .. ry .. " " .. rz ) -- output the rotations
