Angles/Headings - Joe_ - 21.08.2011

Ok, so..

Usually, I use GetPlayerFacingAngle to get a players heading, I face easterly, and it returns 90.0, which is correct.
However, today, it says 270.0 when I face easterly, and 90.0 when I face westerly. No code change, and it's not a problem with my code.

pawn Code:

new Float:Angle;
GetPlayerFacingAngle(playerid, Angle);
format(str, sizeof(str), "Your heading is: %f", Angle);
SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFFFFFFFF, str);

360.0/0.0 is North. 90.0 is East. 180.0 is South. 270.0 is West.

Why does it say 270.0 is East, and 90.0 is West?

First of all, You're the retarded one.

Re: Angles/Headings - Joe_ - 21.08.2011

Philldog, you are wrong.

BATAD, I know how to use it, but it returns the wrong angle. If I face east it should say I'm heading 90.0, not 270.0, and vise versa.

Re: Angles/Headings - Wesley221 - 21.08.2011

Hm it works fine for me.
Dont know if this would make any difference (probably wont) but worth a try

pawn Code:

new Float:Angle;
GetPlayerFacingAngle(playerid, Float:Angle);
format(str, sizeof(str), "Your heading is: %f", Float:Angle);
SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFFFFFFFF, str);

^.^ Troll mode de-activated was just messing with Joe.

Re: Angles/Headings - Joe_ - 21.08.2011

That doesn't change anything, Wesley.

When you face EAST, does it say 270 or 90? Mine says 270 and it SHOULD say 90.

Re: Angles/Headings - Babul - 21.08.2011

its just the direction (counterclockwise) a player facing angle gets returned. imagine watching the player from below the map, then its obvious: the player/vehicle rotations are "left handed"

to obtain the correct angle, simply use -angle
