```lua
bool setPedCameraRotation(ped thePed, float rotation)

## Parameters

## Returns

`true` if the rotation was applied. `false` if the element is not a ped or player.

local ped = createPed("male01", 2495.0, -1685.0, 13.5)
setPedCameraRotation(ped, 90)
setPedControlState(ped, "aim_weapon", true)
```
