freecamera How can I get/set a FreeCamera's rotation or pan angle?

[hfeist]

I am trying to capture a FreeCamera's location and pan angle or rotation so I can reposition the camera later with the exact same view. 

(I am working with the playGround Collision example)

I seem to be able to get camera.position.x, camera.position.y and camera.position.z ok but camera.cameraRotation.y just yields zero every time

Hey

just check camera.rotation

Thanks, works great!

Of course now I'm stuck trying to set the camera postion to the values I've collected. Just setting them simple-mindedly like so doesn't work:

camera.position.x=firstX;
camera.position.y=firstY;
camera.position.z=firstZ;
camera.rotation.y=firstR;

I've also tried 

camera.position = new BABYLON.Vector3(firstX, firstY, firstZ);

and 

camera.position = new BABYLON.Vector3(-0.6, -4, 5).addInPlace(new BABYLON.Vector3(firstX, firstY, firstZ));

but the position doesn't change

I was wrong. We were having db maintenance going on and my positions weren't being saved.  I can now get the camera to return to the saved  x,y and z positions and the rotation works as well just by setting the camera.rotation.y to the saved value.

Now if I could save and retrieve the tilt angle of the camera I'd just about have things working perfectly.

Thanks so much for the help!

I'm a little slow: I can get the tilt angle by also checking the camera.rotationx and camera.rotation.z values
