Conventions for these angles

Assuming that this function applies the same kinds of angles that the Creation Kit uses (and why wouldn't it?), it uses clockwise (left-handed) extrinsic Euler rotations with a ZYX sequence. DavidJCobb (talk) 2014-08-08T23:24:20 (EDT)

Yeah it's been known for some time that the engine uses a ZYX ordering. --Terra Nova2 (talk) 2014-08-11T11:43:34 (EDT)

Player.SetAngle() workaround

The Player object can only be rotated by the Z axis unless collisions have been disabled. Here's some sample code from screenshot.psc to let you modify the X and Y angle:

; Rotate the camera
; Hack! The X angle doesn't get set if collisions are off, so
; turn collisions ON for a very brief period
ToggleCollisions()

; Set the angle on the player, this will move the camera
GetPlayer().SetAngle(afAngleX, afAngleY, afAngleZ)

; And reset collisions off again, we don't want the player to start falling
ToggleCollisions()
