How to get orientation of model

[Msgme_4issues]

how can I get the orientation under transform in the properties from a script?

[J4Y_JP (Jay)]

game.Workspace.Model.Part.Rotation

Models don’t have an Orientation property because they are just a group of Parts. If you need a Model’s rotation, get the rotation of one of the parts inside the model.

Models have a function called :GetBoundingBox() which returns the models BoundingBox CFrame and Size

local cframe,size = model:GetBoundingBox()

Model | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

[Dan_E56 (Dan)]

local cframe = model:GetPivot()
local rx, ry, rz = cframe:ToOrientation()

How to convert CFrame to Orientation

You can use cframe:ToOrientation(). Careful though, because that will return the orientation in radians, whereas Orientation for parts is shown in degrees. So you will need to transform it: local rx, ry, rz = cframe:ToOrientation() local dx, dy, dz = math.deg(rx), math.deg(dy), math.deg(dz) -- In vector3 format: local orientation = Vector3.new(dx, dy, dz)

@Dan_E56 @bronsonman
The solution you provide me is getting the model position not the orientation. I need the orientation to rotate the model in the Y axis.

You can get the orientation from the cframe it gives you by doing cframe:ToOrientation()

To get this specific Orientation you do PVInstance:GetPivot():ToOrientation()

[Msgme_4issues]

@bytesleuth

PVInstance:GetPivot():ToOrientation()

Error i Get is PVInstance is not a valid member of Model “Workspace.Modelz”

[bytesleuth]

Replace PVInstance with your model, sorry for the confusion.

[Msgme_4issues]

It keeps printing numbers that are not the orientation example
my models orientation numbers 34.393, 96.933, 12.148
it prints 0.6002667546272278

[Msgme_4issues]

it is still printing the position not orientation

[bytesleuth]

This is unlikely, it is likely returning the orientation in the format other than degrees, if you want to convert these values to degrees you can use math.deg.

[Msgme_4issues]

I have tried this Devfourm already issue was I couldn’t rotate the model using the orientation ( it does print it out correctly though)

[bytesleuth]

Could you show me where you are rotating the model?

[Msgme_4issues]

Sure!
Code

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local m = game.Workspace.Modelz
	local X, Y, Z = m:GetPivot():ToOrientation()
	local OrientationY	= math.deg(Y)
	print(OrientationY)
	OrientationY += 24
	print(OrientationY)

When I add the 24 to the Y axis it doesn’t change in the properties or rotate it but it will print the + 24 to the y axis orientation.

[bytesleuth]

This doesn’t show where you are setting the rotation of the model

[Msgme_4issues]

What do you mean by setting the rotation of model? Here is a screen shot of the rotation hope this is what you mean?

[bytesleuth]

What I meant was the line of code?

[Msgme_4issues]

Ohh, the code I sent was the whole script (I am now second guessing myself that I wrote it incorrectly)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local m = game.Workspace.Modelz
	local X, Y, Z = m:GetPivot():ToOrientation()
	local OrientationY	= math.deg(Y)
	print(OrientationY)
	OrientationY += 24 -- wouldn't this add 24 to the y axis so it would move by 24
	print(OrientationY)
	

end)

@Msgme_4issues

OrientationY += 24

Are you expecting this to change the Y orientation of the model? To update the orientation of the model you need to use :PivotTo()
