GetAngleZ - ObjectReference

Member of: ObjectReference Script

Gets this object's rotation around the z axis.

Syntax

float Function GetAngleZ() native

Parameters

None.

Return Value

This object's rotation around the z axis, in degrees.

Examples

Debug.Trace("We are rotated " + GetAngleZ() + " degrees around the Z axis")

Notes

• Note that standard mathematical notation has 0 starting on the x-axis, rather than the y-axis, and increases counter-clockwise, not clockwise. Trigonometry (see Math Script) with the Z angle thus requires using the following conversion formula:

float GameAngleZ  ;the game's version
float TrigAngleZ ;the rest of the world's interpretation of the same
 
GameAngleZ = Game.GetPlayer().GetAngleZ()
if ( GameAngleZ < 90 )
  TrigAngleZ = 90 - GameAngleZ
else
  TrigAngleZ = 450 - GameAngleZ
endif
