Get rotation value of layer that is oriented along path

[Alex Printz]

L should be the layer you want to target that is orientated to a path:

L=thisComp.layer("LayerOrientatedToPath");
v = L.toWorldVec([1,0,0]);
if(hasParent) v = parent.fromWorldVec(v);
radiansToDegrees(Math.atan2(v[1],v[0]))

Hey Alex,

I feel like an idiot for completely forgetting about ‘WorldVec’. Thank you very much, worked like a charm!
