How to know which way the player is facing via script

I was wondering if there’s a way of finding out which way my player is facing via script? The thing is that one animation in particular moves forward from the direction the player is facing. This wasn’t a problem at first since in the default T3D code the player is always facing forward so I just added the moveforward command when the animation played. But I started having problems after I installed Ubiqsoft 3D Action Adventure Kit. The problem is that the 3DAAK lets the player face other directions, not just forward. So every time I tigger the animation with the moveforward command, the animation will play in the direction the player is facing, but as soon as the moveforward command is activated, it will automatically make the player face the direction the player thinks is forward and move in that direction. So I need a way of knowing what direction the player is facing so that I can tell the player to move in that direction.
