_heading


Value Type

numeric  [0-359]

Description

Contains a robot's heading. Values range from 0 to 359 inclusive. A _heading of 0 is towards the top of the arena, or map north. When a robot is moving, _heading is set to the direction of the robot's movement. Because of sliding, this may not be the direction a robot is facing. When a robot is not moving, _heading is set to the direction a robot's body is facing. 

Use the _bodyaim variable to determine the direction a robot's body is facing. When a robot is sliding, _bodyaim and _heading may have different values. When a robot is stationary, _bodyaim and _heading are the same.

See arena attributes for a description of angles.
