Is it possible to get what rotation or axis the player is facing on? This way I can place a block in the correct direction?

There are function for rotations:

getYaw()
and
getPitch()
I think.

Thanks im gonna go experiment now

Edit: hmmm..... well the more to the left you turn the lower the yaw gets. And opposite for the right. Its not really an axis thing, like it dont circle around or anything.

To get the pitch and yaw:

getPitch(entity);
getYaw(entity);

To set the pitch and yaw:

setRot(entity,yaw,pitch);

answered that already xD

You said getPitch() and getYaw(), but not setRot().

I really don't get the concept Pitch and Yaw. In confuzzling.

These dont work for what I need, I thought it wpuld be measured 1-360 and be that easy but the yaw decreases indefinitely when turning left, and the opposite towards the right.

So you can use setRot() to set the axis, so it remains as a positive integer.

True dat.

Actually, getYaw and getPitch wont do 1-360, it adds up every time you spin 360 degrees so if you spin 360 twice the getYaw would be 720, so you would have to use the modulo to get the Yaw/pitch, (the modulo is %)

Ahhhhh!! My brain thanks though this is some good info. Yaw is horizontal and pitch is vertical. I used modtick function to tell me the yaw every time I turned around. It wasn't fun.

Or use:

function modTick(){
   if(Entity.getYaw(Player.getEntity()) <= 0) Entity.setRot(Player.getEntity(),360,Entity.getPitch(Player.getEntity());
   if(Entity.getYaw(Player.getEntity()) >= 360) Entity.setRot(Player.getEntity(),0,Entity.getPitch(Player.getEntity());
}

This forces the players yaw to be between 0 and 360.
