Rotating objects according to IPL rotation

[Murdock]

I made a map using the mED map editor, which generates an IPL file that looks as following:

Code Select Expand

672, dk_waretank, 0, -1120.85799496, -1419.7517738, 13.6682, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0.190808836192, 0.98162721439
Now I want to spawn this object in VC:MP, not by using an xml file but by using the CreateObject function.
However, the following approach does not seem to set the right rotation as it appears in the map editing software:

Code Select Expand

dk_waretank <- CreateObject( 672, 0, Vector(-1120.85799496, -1419.7517738, 13.6682), 255 );
dk_waretank.RotateTo( Quaternion(0, 0, 0.190808836192, 0.98162721439), 0 );
I have tried using both IPL2Code converters made by YSC and Thijn without any luck.
How can I get VC:MP to apply the right rotation to my objects?

Try this

Code Select Expand

dk_waretank.RotateToEuler( Vector(0, 0.190808836192, 0.98162721439), 0

Try this

Code Select Expand

dk_waretank.RotateToEuler( Vector(0, 0.190808836192, 0.98162721439), 0 )

Unfortunately didn't work, it made the object point at the sky

hey @Murdock have you tried moo mapper that works fine for me

I just tried Moo Mapper as you said and created a bridge, double clicking the object shows me these properties:



Now according to these properties I've tried various ways to rotate the object including:

Code Select Expand

dk_shipstair.RotateTo( Quaternion( 0.0, 0.0, -0.608761, 0.793353 ), 0 );
dk_shipstair.RotateTo( Quaternion( 0.0, 0.0, -37.50, 37.50 ), 0 );
dk_shipstair.RotateToEuler( Vector( 0.0, 0.0, -37.50 ), 0 );
dk_shipstair.RotateToEuler( Vector( 0.0, 0.0, 37.50 ), 0 );

But none of these seem to apply the correct rotation. Any ideas?

Code Select Expand

CreateObject( 672, 0, Vector( -1120.858, -1419.752, 13.668 ), 255 ).RotateTo( Quaternion( 0, 0, 0.191, -0.982 ), 0 );?? I'm on mobile atm but try this.

Try using @ysc3839 's tool and see what happens.

Didn't work, same result as Thijn's converter.

Code Select Expand

CreateObject( 672, 0, Vector( -1120.858, -1419.752, 13.668 ), 255 ).RotateTo( Quaternion( 0, 0, 0.191, -0.982 ), 0 );?? I'm on mobile atm but try this.

That seemed to work, but may I ask how you got those values and how can I apply it to the other objects?

Try

Code Select Expand

dk_shipstair.RotateTo( Quaternion( 0.0, 0.0, 0.608761, 0.793353 ), 0 );

It can't work correctly.

Solution: Convert quaternion to euler.
This means you will use
object.RotateToEuler( Vector( x, y, z), time )
instead of
object.RotateTo( Quaternion( x, y, z, w ), time ).

PS: Don't have any function for this, but I know for sure that it will work. (can't really say how I know that xD)
