---

Sets the rotation of elements according to the world (does not work with players that are on the ground).

Note

This function does not work on colshape .

Note

This function does not work on dummy element .

Tip

New scripts should set conformPedRotation to true when using this function on peds . This will prevent quirky old behaviour.

Syntax

 setElementRotation ( )

Code Examples

Example 1 Example 2

server

function pedRotate ( )
    local rotX, rotY, rotZ = getElementRotation(localPlayer) -- get the local players's rotation
    setElementRotation(localPlayer,0,0,rotZ+10,"default",true) -- turn the player 10 degrees clockwise
end
addCommandHandler ( "turn", pedRotate )

server

function carRotate( )
    if isPedInVehicle(localPlayer) then -- if the local client is in a vehicle
        localVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer)
        if getVehicleController(localVehicle) == localPlayer then -- if the local client is the controller (driver) of the vehicle
            local rotX, rotY, rotZ = getElementRotation(localVehicle) -- get the local client's vehicle rotation
            setElementRotation(localVehicle,rotX,rotY,rotZ+10) -- turn the vehicle 10 degrees clockwise
         end
    end
end
addCommandHandler ( "turn", carRotate )
