This example retrieves the rotation of the player's head in quaternion.The retrieved values can be used for calculations.

local playerBone = 1
local playerBoneX, playerBoneY, playerBoneZ, playerBoneW

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot,
    function()
        playerBoneX, playerBoneY, playerBoneZ, playerBoneW = getElementBoneQuaternion(localPlayer, playerBone)
    end
