* In the Tamriel worldspace, a Z angle of 0 is North, however, the same is not true of interiors (other exterior worldspaces have not been tested) — GetAngle is based on the game's coordinate system and the Compass is based on the NorthMarker object in each cell. Therefore, GetAngle Z is only useful for determining compass directions in the exterior Tamriel worldspace. | * In the Tamriel worldspace, a Z angle of 0 is North, however, the same is not true of interiors (other exterior worldspaces have not been tested) — GetAngle is based on the game's coordinate system and the Compass is based on the NorthMarker object in each cell.

* Note that standard mathematical notation has 0 starting on the ''x''-axis, rather than the ''y''-axis, and increases counter-clockwise, not clockwise. Trigonometry (see [[Math Script]]) with the Z angle thus requires using the following conversion formula: | * Note that standard mathematical notation has 0 starting on the ''x''-axis, rather than the ''y''-axis, and increases counter-clockwise, not clockwise.
