Vertical rotation

[Florin Calinescu]

As far as I know the horizontal axis rotation can be returned using "player.Angle".But,my question is,is it possible to return the vertical  axis rotation of the player?And if yes,can anybody please tell me how?

[Thijn]

Vertical angle? The ped can only rotate along the horizontal axis. Or do you mean where the camera is looking at?

Your question, @marmota91, is as possible as setting the rotation of a pickup.
But I'm still curious, why do you need to set vertical rotation of a player ?

Yeah the position of the camera.

Well you'll see later.

player.AimDir and player.AimPos might be of help, though I have not tested them personally.
They are supposed to return Vector(X, Y, Z) coords.

Didn't return a thing.I don't know if I was using them correctly and that's why I brought the code with me as well:

Code Select Expand

else if(cmd == "rot")
{
Message("" + player.Name + "'s aiming pos: " + player.AimDir + "" ) //  LINE 123
}

That's the error I get.

Try updating your squirrel module.

AimPos is bugged. Doesn't give the correct position.

Nope it still doesn't work.

[Sebastian]

GetPlayerAimPos: returns the position that a player is aiming toward (only updated when shooting)
GetPlayerAimDir: returns the vector rotation of a player's aim (only updated when shooting)

No it still doesn't work it says member variable not found

[Thijn]

Are you using it as a function? i.e. player.GetPlayerAimPos()

Actually that name is in the plugin API On the script that's just `AimPos` as a member variable. like `player.AimPos.x`, `player.AimPos.y`, `player.AimPos.z`

That's why Thijn asked that.
He tried to catch marmota91's mistake, I believe.

TBH I knew that. I just wanted to specify why it shouldn't be used like that.
