Element rotations are different for certain element types

[Einheit-101]

Description
Now for a very long time using setElementRotation gives different results for Peds, vehicles and objects. Even if i choose the same rot order and conformPedRotations i still cant rotate a ped exactly like an object.

To reproduce
-Create a ped, set his rotation to 45, 45, 0
-Create an object, set its rotation to 45, 45, 0
-Note how the rotation of the ped never matches with the object, i could not make it, no matter what rot order i use for the ped.

Expected behaviour
setElementRotation should have an Option to work the same way for everything.

Additional context
Maybe i oversee something here or maybe there is a custom conversion formula like "convertObjectToPedRotation" ?

could be related to this, maybe?

I posted it as a resource bug, not mta bug, but I think we are talking about the same thing

Yes this is exactly whats happening for you

You mentioned a conversion formula, well, there actually is one after all (found it after struggling with my issue all day yesterday), read the optional arguments for set/getElementRotation. It's not a conversion formula actually, but you can tell the functions to interpret the rotation as a certain type (ped/object/vehicle).

Sounds like an issue with gimbal locking. I don't think this is fixable, you'll have to use matrices.
