This function starts with a lowercase letter.

Description​

NameDescription
Float:valueThe angle from which to get the tangent.
anglemodeThe angle mode to use, depending on the value entered. (default: radian)

Returns​

The tangent from the value entered.

public OnGameModeInit()
{
    printf("The tangent from 30° is %.0f", floattan(30.0, degrees));
    // Output: 1
    return 1;
}

Notes​

warning

GTA/SA-MP use degrees for angles in most circumstances, for example GetPlayerFacingAngle. Therefore, it is most likely you'll want to use the 'degrees' angle mode, not radians. Also note that angles in GTA are counterclockwise; 270° is East and 90° is West. South is still 180° and North still 0°/360°.

  • floatsin: Get the sine from a specific angle.
  • floatcos: Get the cosine from a specific angle.
