How to get the Vehicle's Angle?

[KAKAN]

Okay, well, I tried this code:-

Code Select Expand

function onScriptLoad(){
CreateVehicle(205, 1, Vector(-1038.2107, 70.3865, 11.1406), 1.6069, 36, 17);
print( FindVehicle(1).Angle );
And I got the output as some Quaternion result. I want the angle which was used in CreateVehicle, i.e, 1.6069. So, how can I get it?

Is it not possbile use that quaternion for CreateVehicle?

Well, I was trying to save the angles in a database. And I want the angles as one quantity( or float ) and not a class. That's why I was asking. In the old 0.3z, the Angle returned a quantity, if I find no way, then I have to use Quaternion I think

Vehicle.EulerAngle.z should be close to what you want.

Vehicle.EulerAngle.z should be close to what you want.

Hmm, then we can do some mathematical things to get the exact for all?
Will try though! Thanks!

Try this.

Code Select Expand

function CVehicle::GetRadiansAngle()
{
local angle = ::asin(this.Rotation.z) * -2;
return this.Rotation.w < 0 ? 3.14159 - angle : 6.28319 - angle;
}

Try this.

Code Select Expand

function CVehicle::GetRadiansAngle()
{
local angle = ::asin(this.Rotation.z) * -2;
return this.Rotation.w < 0 ? 3.14159 - angle : 6.28319 - angle;
}

It doesn't return same as that, but still then, the vehicle spawn at the required angle. Thanks!
If you can't understand what I mean, then: Well, I mean, suppose, the angle is 1, the function he provided returns 7 but still then the vehicle spawns at the correct angle!

This function was who in this forum gave me long time ago. (May be more than 1 year.) And it works well.

Hmm Okay! My problem has been solved! Thanks again! Topic locked.
 :edit:
Just found that @Gudio made that function: http://forum.vc-mp.org/?topic=252.msg1404#msg1404
Thanks to him for that extremely useful function!
