How would I make an ImageLabel rotate with the direction of the camera?
I'm working on a mini-map, but I'm having problems with making the arrow in the center rotate to match the camera's rotation.
( Like in any RPG mini-map. The arrow points towards the direction you're facing.)
I've tried using lookVector and :toEulerAnglesXYZ(), but neither seem to work correctly.
The two codes I've tried are;
local x,y = workspace.CurrentCamera.CoordinateFrame:toEulerAnglesXYZ(); script.Parent.Frame.Dot.Arrow.Rotation = math.deg(x); and script.Parent.Frame.Dot.Arrow.Rotation = math.deg(workspace.CurrentCamera.CoordinateFrame.lookVector.X);

What you are looking for in the three shown in the above article is Heading, which, when looking from the top down as in a minimap, shows which direction on ROBLOX's xz plane the camera is facing.
local pip = script.Parent.Frame.Dot.Arrow local sx, sy, sz, m00, m01, m02, m10, m11, m12, m20, m21, m22 = Workspace.CurrentCamera.CoordinateFrame:components() heading = math.atan2(m02, m22) pip.Rotation = math.deg(heading)
Now, this will error if the camera is looking directly downwards, or directly upwards, since the heading will not be determinable. However, ROBLOX by default doesn't allow for this.

That works. Thank you. Scriptos 45 — 11y
