Save before experimenting

getAngle x|y|z|

to get the angle of the selected object.

setAngle x|y|z

To set the angle of the selected object to an absolute value

modAngle x|y|z

To modify the angle by a + or - value

you can copy angle from other object. mark it and "getangle z"

Thank you!

Let it just be said for ANYONE LOOKING TO FIX OBJECTS TILTED BY THE "MOVETO PLAYER" COMMAND :

setaxis x 0 then just pick up in workshop mode and handle typically.

...is there a console command to "snap" to existing building stucture or object? ....because that would be quicker and easier than doing each concrete wall individually by eye as well and since the x and y axis is not relative to your building project, it becomes more of a pain there.....

I tried to build an elevator to my half made concrete power station only to find out that the elevator is a block (I'd say the difference is about that size of that small pillar concrete wall structure)higher with each floor than with my usual setup...the concrete stairs would be short two steps so would need to add that extra stair case onto my large stair case...or use the warehouse staircase which fits perfectly to the floor height of each floor of the elevator....

I can provide some screenies if you want to see my half completed power station building?

LOL it's only struggle if you make it one. anyway console commands are not for everyone :D im just here to share this in layman's term as much as i can for those who want it :D

modangle for me is basically useless you are only limted to 0-360 angle... you can just directly set the rotaion degrees exactly where you want it :D

Plus console usage gives you control to the mods you have in the game, unlike mods where you don't exactly know what other variables the modder touched.
