Returns the orientation of a specific bone relative to the element. Currently the Player and Ped element types are accepted.

Tip

If you want to attach an element to a bone, see attachElementToBone .

Syntax

float,​ float,​ float getElementBoneRotation ( element theElement, int boneId )

Required Arguments

• theElement: the element to get the bone rotation on.
• boneId: the ID of the bone to get the rotation of. See Bone IDs .

Returns

• float: x
• float: y
• float: z

Returns 3 floats , representing the yaw, pitch, roll rotation values.

Code Examples

Example 1 Example 2

shared

This example outputs the yaw, pitch and roll orientation of a specific bone relative to the local player bone specified through a command:

function getBoneRotation (commandName, boneId)
    if not tonumber (boneId) then
        outputChatBox ("You didn't insert an bone ID!", 255, 0, 0)
        return false
    end

    local x, y, z = getElementBoneRotation (localPlayer, boneId)
    outputChatBox ("The bone rotation is: "..x..", "..y..", "..z)
end

addCommandHandler ("getbonerotation", getBoneRotation)

This example takes the current rotation of all player bones. by ThigasDEV

local settings = {
    copyDiscord = false; -- true = "yes" // false = "no" - Copy to paste table in discord format.
    tableName = "bonesPos"; -- Table name to be copied.
}

local boneIDs = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 41, 42, 43, 44, 51, 52, 53, 54, 201, 301, 302}

addCommandHandler ("getbonerotation", function ()
    local bonesPositions = { }
    local bonesConverted = ""
    for _, v in ipairs (boneIDs) do
        local x, y, z = getElementBoneRotation (localPlayer, v)
        table.insert (bonesPositions, "["..v.."] = {"..x..", "..y..", "..z.."};")
    end
    for i, v in ipairs (bonesPositions) do
        bonesConverted = "    "..bonesConverted.."\n".."    "..v
    end
    setClipboard ((settings["copyDiscord"] and "```lua\nlocal "..string.gsub(settings["tableName"], " ", "_").." = {"..bonesConverted.."\n}\n```" or "local "..string.gsub(settings["tableName"], " ", "_").." = {"..bonesConverted.."\n}"))
    outputChatBox ("Copy to clipboard.")
end)
