SetEntityHeading

FiveM client native documentation with a Lua example.

Summary

Sets which direction an entity faces (0-360 degrees). Used after teleporting or spawning to orient peds and vehicles correctly.

Returns

void

Parameters

entitynumberThe entity handle.
headingfloatThe heading in degrees (0-360).

Example

SetEntityHeading(PlayerPedId(), 90.0)

Common pitfalls

  • Heading wraps at 360; values outside 0-360 are normalized.
  • Set heading when teleporting so the player doesn't face a wall.
