im making a 3d puzzle game where you have to move and rotate blocks to complete a puzzle, i have used a single joint bone to control rotation of the puzzle blocks, so this does not change the pan, tilt and roll values of the blocks,

so i need a way to tell it the blocks are facing the right way up or not.

is there any code to return the texture angle?

so i can do somthing like

if (texture == facing up)
{do somthing...;}

I think it may have something to do with c_scan, Have a look in the manual it says about scanning texture in there. Just do a search for either texture or c_scan..

Good luck.

why not use ent_bonereset to get it back at it's default values

try c-trace and the resulting normal vector, of course with polygonal tracing.
