Object rotation can be retrieved from objects in mapfiles or objects that are created in scripts.
Syntax
float float float getObjectRotation ( object theObject )
Required Arguments
- theObject: The object whose rotation will be retrieved
Returns
Returns true if object exists, false otherwise.
Example
In this example, I refer to an object in the mapfile with the ID "pirateship":
<object id="Pirate Ship" posX="-1627.319092" posY="128.543411" posZ="6.581001" rotX="-0.760854" rotY="2.421000" rotZ="0.851000" model="8493"/>
The following code gets the object element by ID and outputs it's rotation:
root = getRootElement ()
addEventHandler ( "onMapLoad", root, "mapStart" )
function mapStart ( name ) -- this function gets called when the map starts
pirateship = getElementByID ( "Pirate Ship" ) -- get the object element
if ( pirateship ) then
rx, ry, rz = getObjectRotation ( pirateship ) -- get the rotation of the object
outputChatBox ( "Ship RX = "..rx.." SHIP RY = "..ry.." SHIP RZ = "..rz )
-- output: Ship RX = 316.40628051758 SHIP RY = 2.421000 SHIP RZ = 0.851000
else
outputChatBox ( "Couldn't find the ship!" )
end
end
