thats trigonometry

atan2 relates to rotation i think

[grave jungle]

atan2 takes the x and z of a vector and outputs the angle of y

It can take any number but thats the best way i've found to describe it

@grave jungle what IS the angle though?

Like is the angle relative to the x and z differences from 0,0?

[grave jungle]

yep

[dim axle]

when you say it outputs the angle of y, are you saying y is just a placeholder or the angle in degrees, or is it getting the angle from 0,0 to the point on a 2d plane, with the X axis being the X axis and the Z axis being the Y axis?

[dim axle]

what is angle 0

is it just positive x axis

[grave jungle]

i think

[dim axle]

wait so which pin do you put which value in

also if the point is (-100, 0) would it output 180?

and then if the point is (0, -100) would it output 270 or -90

or none

[grave jungle]

it would output 180

[grave jungle]

it will output -90

[dim axle]

alright so anything between 180 and 360 gets turned negative

so the max is 180 and the min is -179
