    I can't get this function to work properly, I am currently using :

    int angle = UnitGetFacing(Unit); 
return angle;

    Where unit is the unit I want to get the angle from and angle is the integer returned from the function but it keep giving me syntax error. I also tried different variation such as :

    unit u = Unit;             (or any unit name)
int angle = UnitGetFacing(u); 
return angle;
