Get freelook head direction

[dr_eyeball 16]

Q: How can you get the direction your head is facing when using freelook to look around? (which is not player direction)

It relates to displaying things on a HMD HUD.

UNN has this great 'turret direction' topic using AnimationPhase, which I suspect would also work for the player's head if I knew the head's freelook animation name (if one exists). If anyone can advise either way here too.

I did this little test way back, it might set you on the right path if you're good at maths.

name a unit s1

init.sqf

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">ij =0;

while{alive s1}do

{

sleep .5;

ij = ij + 1;

 wpos = positionCameraToWorld getpos s1;

 hint format["%1",wpos];

};

Beauty. Nice solution - pure numbers, no strings. That should work well. Thanks for that info.
