Why does part.Rotation treat 180deg as 0deg

[wispy portal]

I'm attempting to code something that tracks the player's orientation, specifically it's Y, I noticed that as you move from 0 to 180, from either the positive, or negative, it starts to reverse at +- 90 and goes back to 0, why is that, and what is a good alternative to track the degrees fully? Image for reference

how you detecting that rotation? CFrame? or the actual rotation property itself?

[wispy portal]

actual rotation property, I tried detecting CFrame but it kept doing weird stuff, I'm sure its just me not understanding matrices but, idk.

[rigid lava]

try using CFrame:ToOrientation() maybe?

[wispy portal]

this is in radians right?

because then I need to change my conversion formula

[rigid lava]

yeah its in radians so you can use the math.rad() function to turn it back to degress

ah, didn't work.

do you want me to send a screenshot of my full script?

[rigid lava]

well, yeah roblox orenation is weird.
but from what i learned from math class, some rotations are are similar like for example -180 is simialr to 180 so its possible roblox just uses the positive version just to not make it complicated?

[rigid lava]

uh sure, but im not really sure if this is a script issue or the way roblox handles their rotation thing

[wispy portal]

sure its something with roblox, i'll send it anyways, let me add some comments rq
