Allows you to change an object's rotation while playing a map. The object can be from the map file or created in a script.
Syntax
bool setObjectRotation ( object theObject, float rotX, float rotY, float rotZ )
Required Arguments
- theObject: The object to be rotated
- rotX: Rotation around the X axis
- rotY: Rotation around the Y axis
- rotZ: Rotation around the Z axis
Returns
Returns true if successful, false otherwise.
Example
In this example, I refer to an object in the map file with the ID "pirateship":
<object id="pirateship" posX="-1627.319092" posY="128.543411" posZ="6.581001" rotX="-0.760854" rotY="2.421000" rotZ="0.851000" model="8493"/>
function onResourceStart ( name, root )
-- predefined variables, needed for the math code below
rotX = 0
rotY = 0
rotZ = 0
-- assign element named 'pirateship' in map file to variable
pirateship = getElementByID ( "pirateship" )
end
function chatboxShipRotateLeft ( playerSource, commandName ) -- On console command 'increaserotations'
outputChatBox ( "Rotational values increased" )
-- rotations = rotations + 10
rotX = rotX + 10
rotY = rotY + 10
rotZ = rotZ + 10
-- Changed rotation is applied
setObjectRotation ( pirateship, rotX, rotY, rotZ )
end
function chatboxShipRotateRight ( playerSource, commandName ) -- On console command 'decreaserotations'
outputChatBox ( "Rotational values decreased" )
-- rotations = rotations - 10
rotX = rotX - 10
rotY = rotY - 10
rotZ = rotZ - 10
-- Changed rotation is applied
setObjectRotation ( pirateship, rotX, rotY, rotZ )
end
-- Set up event and command handlers
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getRootElement(), onResourceStart )
addCommandHandler ( "increaserotations", chatboxShipRotateLeft )
addCommandHandler ( "decreaserotations", chatboxShipRotateRight )
