Rotation - Radians

Internally, rotations are handled in radians because it's easier to just plug the values directly into a formula without having to figure out what type of value its used.

Degrees are used because from the perspective of a UI data input its easier to understand 360° rotations in a visual form with the rotation gizmo.

At some point you have to connect UI values to internal values such a rotation controller, here you can use degToRad <number> or radToDeg <number> to convert between the two, you can use these commands in scripted controllers, wire parameters or scripts.
