PLEASE IM DESPERATE How to get object's 360 rotation

Question

how would i get object rotation? i can already do this by myNode.rotation.x but it gives me stuff like this

and i turn around a bit and it never reaches close to 360. is there a way to convert this to 360 degrees of rotation? or is there a way to access the node’s 360 degree rotation?

Just guessing from the numbers you’re getting, Godot might be working in radians, and not angles.

I don’t know a lot about 3D, so I can’t help you further, but I did find this article about 3d transforms and euler angles (angles in 3 dimensions). Using 3D transforms — Godot Engine (stable) documentation in English

I can’t say too much about if that will help you with your problem, but hopefully that article will help some (and suspecting that the rotation is in radians - you can look to see if Godot can covert between angles and radians, or possibly even write your own function for it.)

Maybe try this? It also works with Vector2
Vector3 rotation_degrees

• void set_rotation_degrees ( Vector3 value )
• Vector3 get_rotation_degrees ( )

Helper property to access rotation in degrees instead of radians.

well, this is embarrasing, i was checking the wronge axis so when i turned the camera around, i jittered the mouse up and down a bit and that gave me a seemingly random number. lol

Nice! Glad you got it!
