[Solved; thanks!]Quaternion

[Florin Calinescu]

I have a little question:how to get the quaternion of the player?I tried using something like

Code Select Expand

local W = player.Pos.W, X = player.Pos.x,Y = player.Pos.y, Z = player.Pos.z;
Message( "Your position:  X:" + X + " Y: " + Y + " Z:" + Z + " W:" + W + "");but it seems it doesn't work.Can anybody help me please?

Unfortunately there is no such function for players. Only the position which returns a 3d Vector with just X, Y, Z components. So, you can't really get the rotation of the player AFAIK.

I'll still wait for more answers to get something similar to this

No problem. I just looked into the source of the scripting plugin and notified you that there is no such function. You are actually encouraged to wait for more answers, if possible from a staff member.

Alright

Not exactly what you're looking but I remembered about this topic and the .Angle member variable if rotation is what you need.

Oh... and also, manually (untested):

Code Select Expand

function VecToQuat(vec)
{
    local c1 = cos(vec.z * 0.5), c2 = cos(vec.y * 0.5),
          c3 = cos(vec.x * 0.5), s1 = sin(vec.z * 0.5),
          s2 = sin(vec.y * 0.5), s3 = sin(vec.x * 0.5);

    return Quaternion(
        (c1*c2*s3 - s1*s2*c3).tofloat(),
        (c1*s2*c3 + s1*c2*s3).tofloat(),
        (s1*c2*c3 - c1*s2*s3).tofloat(),
        (c1*c2*c3 + s1*s2*s3).tofloat()
    );
}

function onPlayerSpawn(player)
{
    local q = VecToQuat(player.Pos);
   
    print(format("%f, %f, %f, %f", q.x, q.y, q.z, q.w));
}

it works thanks
