Rotate ped to make him look at XYZ point

[Ride1234]

Good day, scripters

First, i know about setPedRotation and about wiki.multitheftauto.com too.

I want to rotate my ped to some point and make him look straight at it, but dont know how to calculate the angle of rotation. Can anyone help me?

P.S. I want to make a universal function that calculates rotation for any coordinates, so calculate rotation manually isn't a variant.

I've tried

  
math.abs(90+ math.deg( math.acos( math.abs(yvalbig-yvalsm)/(math.sqrt( (math.abs(xvalbig-xvalsm))^2 +(math.abs(yvalbig-yvalsm))^2))))) 

result - rotation is wrong.

i need to rotate the whole player, not only his head

go in local, go to a rotation you want and start runcode

Enter this: x,y,z = getElementRotation(getLocalPlayer()) outputConsole(x,y,z)

Look in your console after and you got your required rotation

look what i need:

i need to calculate the angle, and do not find players current rotation.

This will find the Z axis angle.
But how to find de X axis angle?

What's the problem with this? It's exactly the same content from the post.
I think is not necessary to create another post with the same content.

You arent having the same problem as @Ride1234 was having. It's a 2011 post, and this question got answered. You may bump an old post, if it was created by you, or you are having the same issue. But because this issue is already closed, you may create a new one, as YOUR support post, and maybe we could answer your question aswell, without having to read back into the 2011 comments, and functions.

The post only answer about the Z axis, but I need to do it with the X axis...its the same content but not exactly the same problem.

I wanted to help ya @Lord Henry, because it would be easier for us, to answer your question, if you could write down your OWN problem, and not refer to other's. And btw, yeah, you can use MY signature, which I created for MYSELF, not for other's. Thanks for asking for it mate.

Sorry by that...U want me to remove it?
By the way, I will create another post with this problem with X axis.

Nah, you can use it as it's a public image. But at least you could ask for it, if you have seen it, and you thought it's cool.
