[ERRO] RotateTo

[MatheuS]

[Thijn]

Ah, of course. Try running my tool again.

[MatheuS]

continuous with the same error.

[Thijn]

This should work:

Code Select Expand

CreateObject(310, 1, 391.686, -486.215, 11.3129, 255 ).RotateTo( Quaternion( 0, 0, -0.422618, 0.906308 ), 0 );

How did you managed to get so many mistakes in just one line of code?


First: The RotateTo() member function expects a Quaternion and a time span in the format of seconds (an integer)


Second: Variable gateDP is an array, correct? Then WTF are you doing with gateDP = ... Where's your index [...] when you insert the created object instance? After that line gateDP will no longer be an array due to the assignment.


Third: Chaining and assignment in a single line? DA FUQ ARE YOU HOPING FOR? The RotateTo() member function returns nothing. And because of the chaining of operations you'll get null inside gateDP which will probably break the rest of the code as well.


Advice: Stop chaining operations that return null and perform assignment in the same expression.

EDIT: Another post was made while I was writing this one Answers your question but the code is still broken.

CreateObject(310, 1, 391.686, -486.215, 11.3129, 255 ).RotateTo( Quaternion( 0, 0, -0.422618, 0.906308 ), 0 );

Work.

@S.L.C. the piece of code after the = comes from my IPL converter. While it's true it isn't nice to chain those commands together, it should work fine for adding lots of objects without worrying about assigning them to variables. Yes, I could've used a lot of IF statements, but I didn't for the sake of simplicity.

Agreed. But I was referring to the fact that he performs an assignment with that and worse he performs the assignment on an array without specifying an index.

not show me more error, the rotation is wrong

[Sebastian]

I believe there is some mistake in the source code of function... like "y,w,z,x" instead of "x,y,z,w".
I also tried to manually convert xml object to CreateObject, and the rotation is also wrong.

Not sure if this is already known, but I'll post anyway since I experienced the same problem.

Apparently the negative rotation values from KEd are comprehended incorrectly by VCMP.
If you remove the negative sign, you will get the expected result.

There you go:

Code Select Expand

CreateObject( 1395, 0, Vector(396.41, -472.947, 13.5824), 255).RotateTo( Quaternion(0, 0, 0.422618, 0.906308), 0 );

Really useful found ! I will surely give it a try, and return with an edit.

EDIT: Yeah, it works.
I changed the negative values with positives, and positives with negatives.

Thank you alot !

Remembering, we must remove the negative value of the Quaternion only.

Thanks to all who responded!
