Three.js: Get the Direction in which the Camera is Looking

Question

I\'m creating game in using html5 and THREE.js, and I have a camera that rotates with the euler order of \'YXZ\'.

This is so the camera rotation up, down, left and r

Answer 1

I spent a long time trying to figure out captain obvious's question.

This is how it finally worked for me:

    vector = camera.getWorldDirection();
    theta = Math.atan2(vector.x,vector.z);

theta is in radians. This is how I orient my game's character to face the same way the camera is facing. The getWorldDirection() is a fairly new option on camera.
