Swaying and ToOrientation

[honest helm]

Two separate questions.

1. How does CFrame:ToOrientation() work. Does it literally just return the CFrame as values of X,Y and Z (eg 1,10,0 = X:1,Y:10,Z:0) or does it do some maths and calculate something

2. I commonly see people using maths.sin(tick() * 10) * Num to make swaying effects and I want to know whether this is a thing i should just remember or if there is an actual reason behind it

I can't currently test either of these right now btw^^ don't have access to Roblox studio

CFrame:ToOrientation() converts rotation matrix into euler angles X, Y, Z in radians

math.sin() is a trigonometric sine function, it takes radian as input.
commonly people put tick() * 10 to convert time to an incremental radian and the 10 as the speed of that tick, the number outside of sine function determines how wide/stretched the function

Thanks

I think I get the sin one but does are rotation matrix euler angles just normal degrees

I'll search this nvm^
