how to print current rotation angle?

[ZeroAT]

Is there any way to print the current rotation angle?

I am currently using the code below, but I only want it to rotate 180 degrees instead of 360 degrees. I think I need to compare values with MATH.PI, but I am not sure what the other value would be because I have no idea how to figure out the current angle of rotation.

 

As shown in the image below, I need to be able to retrieve x,y,and z to compare values. Any ideas on how to get these values?

 

BABYLON.SceneLoader.ImportMesh("",'', "ship.babylon", scene, function(newMeshes){
ship = newMeshes;
...
...
..

ship[0].rotate(BABYLON.Axis.Y, Math.PI / 2, BABYLON.Space.WORLD);

Hi @ZeroAT and welcome to the forum. If you want to turn the ship 180 degrees from current position you can use .addRotation http://doc.babylonjs.com/babylon101/position#sequencing-rotations

If you want Euler Angles the you can convert from the quaternion http://doc.babylonjs.com/resources/rotation_conventions#quaternions-to-euler-angles

Hope this helps. Ask again if you need more help.
