Wiki command wrong?

[Andy Gilbert]

Hi ,not sure if im right here but the wikia command for "get rotation" is:

 

entity:GetRotation( global ) 

 

Yet i cant seem to get that to compile but what i can get to compile is:

 

MeshAngles = EntityRotation(mesh,1)

 

Is that wrong... right or am i just confused?

 

Thanks

I think that command was missing internally. I am going through the docs and I find a few missing methods that I fill in as I document it. So sync in a couple days and it will be available.

lol. you joking... so at the moment.. there is no way in lua of retriveing the angles of a mesh?

You can use the procedural command, just as you did above.

Ok, so then to retreive the actual X Y Z in lua i would use

 

(from the command i posted)

 

meshAngles.X , meshAngles.Y ETC?

 

thanks

Yes. Or if you just want the local rotation use this:

entity.rotation.x

 

These members should be treated as read-only.

yes... i can confirm that that should work Andy...

 

i did something like this... rot=light.rotation after setting the rotation with light:SetRotation(Vec3(45,45,45))... then printed it out with DrawText(rot.y,20,20)...
