SetAngle
From GECK
A function included in the GECK for Fallout 3.
Contents
Description
Sets the angle (in degrees) of the calling object relative to the world on the specified axis (X, Y, or Z).
Syntax
[Object].SetAngle Axis:char{X, Y, Z} Angle:float
Example
ActorRef.SetAngle Z 270 Player.SetAngle X 28.8
Notes
When called on the player and actors:
- SetAngle Z rotates the player/actor as it rotates any object in game. It can be used to force the player or actor face a certain direction. E.g. In an exterior cells, "Player.SetAngle Z 45" forces the player face NE.
- Player and actors cannot be tilted forward, backward or sideways like most other objects, therefore changing their X and Y angles has no effect, with the following exception.
- SetAngle X on the player tilts the camera view up/down. It is possible to set the player's X angle beyond the limits of the mouse movement (-89 to 89). Note that the values are counterintuitive: negative angles force the player look up, positive angles, down.
- Some objects will 'forget' the X angle, setting it back to zero every few frames.
- Statics may not respond to SetAngle unless spawned dynamically via PlaceAtMe.
