Can someone please tell me why this script only returns clientMessage"under 45 deg" no matter which direction my player is facing?

Thanks

function useItem(x,y,z,itemId,blockId,side)
{
if(itemId==280)//If your item is a stick
{
if(getYaw() == 0)
{
clientMessage("0 deg");
}
else if(getYaw() < 45 && getYaw() != 0)
{
clientMessage("under 45 deg");
}
else if(getYaw() == 45)
{
clientMessage("45 deg");
}
else if(getYaw() > 45 && getYaw() < 90)
{
clientMessage("over 45 deg");
}
else if(getYaw() == 90)
{
clientMessage("90 deg");
}
else if(getYaw() > 90 && getYaw() < 135)
{
clientMessage("over 90 deg");
}
else if(getYaw() == 135)
{
clientMessage("135 deg");
}
else if(getYaw() > 135 && getYaw() < 180)
{
clientMessage("over 135 deg");
}
else if(getYaw() == 180)
{
clientMessage("180 deg");
}
else if(getYaw() > 180 && getYaw() < 225)
{
clientMessage("over 180 deg");
}
else if(getYaw() == 225)
{
clientMessage("225 deg");
}
else if(getYaw() > 225 && getYaw() < 270)
{
clientMessage("over 225 deg");
}
else if(getYaw() == 270)
{
clientMessage("270 deg");
}
else if(getYaw() > 270 && getYaw() < 315)
{
clientMessage("over 270 deg");
}
else if(getYaw() == 315)
{
clientMessage("315 deg");
}
else if(getYaw() > 315)
{
clientMessage("over 315 deg");
}
}
}

What is getYaw and I could help you.

What is getYaw and I could help you.

getYaw(); is the rotation around the y axis.

Quote from Hexdro

getYaw and getPitch:
To see where the player is looking at,
yaw is the rotation around the y-axis
pitch is the angle for looking up or down

so what's wrong with my code Hexdro plz?

What's wrong with your code:

else if(getYaw() < 45 && getYaw() != 0)

getYaw() != 0 means that anything below 45 and not 0 (includes negatives) will return under 45 deg.

Ah ok mate thx that makes sense. Fail. I was trying ascertain which direction the player was facing and then move a mob in the opposite direction the player was facing. Guess I'll have to try something else. Thank you.

This code might be helpful in finding out which direction is what yaw:

function useItem(x,y,z,itemId,BlockId,side) {
if(itemId == 280) {
clientMessage("\n" + getYaw());
}
}

The \n represents a new line.

Many thanks,

Awesome Connor thanks a lot worked a treat. Now I just gotta apply it. Cheers boss.
