Hello

I've been working on a peripheral that adds more ways to interact with the computer. The problem I'm having is that I can't find out how to detect where the player is looking. Could sombody please tell me if there is a way to detect this? Thanks in advance.

I know that in NBTedit, there is a variable for which way the player is facing in the same section as the player's velocity and position.

In the F3 menu, there is a variable called F that shows the direction your facing, you can try to make your peripheral get the value of F.
(it might be EntityPlayer.getF or something)

Not to direct traffic away from this forum but how about asking the guys on the main minecraft forum. Way more modders to help get the code snippet you need.

I sorta agree with 6677 only because your not asking anything relating to peripherals, your asking a general minecraft modding question.
