This function retrieves how a particular bone rotates in relation to the element.

The use of quaternions are more effective and do not generate issues like gimbal lock that might arise with Euler angles, so they are a preferable choice for rotation.

Syntax

int, int, int, int getElementBoneQuaternion ( element ped, int bone )

Required Arguments

ped: The element (ped or player) from which the bone's rotation will be retrieved.
bone: The ID of the bone to retrieve the quaternion of.

Returns

int: value1
int: value2
int: value3
int: value4

Returns four float values:

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
)
