Gimbal Pointing System

Hello there everyone!

I have a big quesiton for you all: is there a way to get camera x, z and y angle. I need it to make turret that will shoot wherever player is looking at. Something like tank in GTA V, but not quite it. I've been looking for the variable, witch stores the value that represents angle of camera. I can not find any information for that topic so i decited to create this post.

If there is no option to get that value, maybe game developer should think about adding something like this to the game. It would be a really handfull tool in order to make good planes and beyond. As an argument to add this type of steering method, i choose a VR. This would open a way for creators to make a gimbal pointing system for VR users (this system points gun/cannon (or any other deviced) to the place that you're looking at). This is one of the way to put a huge smile on player's face. That's why we are creating more and more advanced and complex vehicles.

It is everything from me, i really hope that this will be implemented or someone will show me and us a way to make that thought come true. It could really kick this game to another level.
