Hi!

I want to know how to rotate a player in a certain direction, for example, this is what I'm looking for:

rotate the player 30 degrees sideways

Thanks!

Use expressions in the docs for setting player yaw and pitch to rotate someone visibly. You can also use packets, but I believe thats clientside.

directly setting the players yaw/pitch actually doesnt do anything. you have to set a variable to their location, set the location's pitch/yaw then teleport the player to the location

Thanks for the reply!
Sorry, I'm a little new to skript. I understand how to set a variable for a player's location, but how would i go about setting the pitch and yaw? Thanks!

If you're using Bensku's edit you can actually create a vector in a defined direction and then set the vector of the player to that.

set {_vector} to vector from player's location
rotate {_vector} around z-axis by 90 degrees #Pitch combined with x-axis aswell
rotate {_vector} around z-axis by 25 degrees #Yaw
set velocity of player to {_vector}

can also do this in 1 line aswell

rotate velocity of player around z-axis by 25 degrees

Vector stuff can be found here https://skripthub.net/docs/?search=vector

oh, good to know. I had pulled that answer from the packets thread comment section
