## Syntax

```lua
float, float, float|false getElementComponentRotation(vehicle|object element, string component [, string base = "parent"])
```

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `element` | `vehicle\|object` | The vehicle or object. |
| `component` | `string` | The component's name, as `getElementComponents` lists it. |
| `base` | `string` | Relative to what: `"world"`, `"root"` (the element itself) or `"parent"` (the component's parent frame). Case does not matter. *(default: `"parent"`)* |

## Returns

Three numbers `rx, ry, rz` in degrees, or `false` if the component does not exist.

## Example

```lua
local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer)
if vehicle then
    local rx, ry, rz = getElementComponentRotation(vehicle, "door_lf_dummy")
    outputDebugString(("Left door: %.1f, %.1f, %.1f"):format(rx, ry, rz))
end
```

### Coming from MTA

The same as MTA's `getVehicleComponentRotation`, but it also works on objects.
