TurnEntity entity,pitch#,yaw#,roll#,[,global]

Parameters

entity - name of entity to be rotated
pitch# - angle in degrees that entity will be pitched
yaw# - angle in degrees that entity will be yawed
roll# - angle in degrees that entity will be rolled
global (optional) -

Description

Turns an entity relative to its current orientation.

Pitch is the same as the x angle of an entity, and is equivalent to tilting forward/backwards.

Yaw is the same as the y angle of an entity, and is equivalent to turning left/right.

Roll is the same as the z angle of an entity, and is equivalent to tilting left/right.
