[Requesting Help] Documentation of RotateToEuler

[Mötley]

I would like to know where one could learn how to use this algorithm.

I read through the vcmp search forum and could not find anything.
Tried Google, I think I found it, but I want to be sure instead of wasting my time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_angles

If this is correct and someone wouldn't mind leading me to more documentation that would be great

*Just trying to build a Pay n Sray system

[EK.IceFlake]

To start with, Euler angles are not an algorithm.

[Mötley]

The reason I said algorithm is because it requires geometry .

Unless I'm reading the wrong documentation

Hopefully from what your saying it requires no math .
*I hate math

What do you need help with?

[Mötley]

Thank you

I don't understand this Euler.

I can set the garage door object. But I don't know what I'm supposed to do to get it from the angles open and closed.

Is there a read only value that I can achieve?

I really don't know how to ask this in general.

How would you set/get the Euler rotation to open and close garage doors​ Thijn

Instead of trying to calculate this manually you might want to look into a map editor.

I tried this with MEd. It sucks, cuz' It gives me the wrong rotation in vcmp.

Also xyz in vc are fucked up. It works like xzy lmao.

I'm talking about something along the lines of this.

Not bad. Only people believe that wherever the player looks is their angle [+ X]. If the player looks at the angle [-X] he thinks he is looking at [+ X]. Friends is not like Vcmp only works with angles of your world, same thing happens in all games. I say it this way When the player is at an angle that matches the position [Y] moves an object to [+ Y] moves the object forward of the same "wow, it is perfect, but if it is placed at the opposite angle To that position And I mean [-Y] and Suman [+ Y] the object is moving behind the player and it will be bad for you but you are not seeing that you before change angle .. What would be good movement that makes the Object but you say it is bad because you look ahead and instead of the object going to the front when you are adding goes back ... friend everything is fine, just needs a good class and is not math, it is about the angles. I'm sorry for my English

@TurboGrafx You can try this Map Editor as well. The one Ice Flake recommended or this one should be WAY better to use than any other mapping tool.

[Mötley]

Thank you @Doom_Kill3R

I wanted a break for a while so I could think more clear and sadly forgot all about this post. I was Reading documentation about there's one that returns a read only value of Euler angle or whatever, I have it documented just cant remember the name.


Luckily there are more usages in other areas for studying this method like Unity engines if I read correctly. But...

 I feel like we should be able to have a .Rotation added to the object class, Just saying, Calling for 90 degree rotations etc

Code Select Expand

local Object = CreateObject( "Just an example" );
Object.RotateTo(degrees);

[DizzasTeR]

You can do that. EulerRotation is very simple. Rotation is something else. EulerRotation is based on Vector3 class where as the .Rotation is Quaternion

So something like

Code Select Expand

local obj = CreateObject(...);
obj.EulerRotation.z = 90;

/* Further more
obj.EulerRotation = Vecotor( rotationX, rotationY, rotationZ );
*/

If that's not what you're asking then I've no idea about your question.

[Mötley]

Yes,
Last thing, Is there a method to set the speed, Sorry I don't see anything about it.

Speed of what?

[Mötley]

Objects moving. Example doors, Garage doors.
