SetQuaternion (SetQuat)

[Chris Paulson]

There's a get but no set missing in the API.

 

There should be: -

 

SetQuat( TVec4, global/local )

[Marleys Ghost]

EntityQuat

 

 

I think thats the get not a set Mack

 

wow ... it vanished lol

[macklebee]

yeah i reread chris' post a second after i posted it... i guess you could set the quat by using SetEntityMatrix()

[Chris Paulson]

SetEntityMatrix: -

 

Perhaps, if you could maths to work it out but the matrix is in global space is it not?

 

Also the Vec16 structure is undocumented.

[macklebee]

yeah good point... well, the structure for a Vec16 (mat4) appears to be position, rotation, quaternion, scale... in that order

The C# headers will soon have Entity.Quaternion.set. Don't know about the other languages.

How are you doing this, by setting the matrix?

 

I'd be interested in seeing the code for this.

We exposed a set method in the engine.dll

 

The order for the Matrix 4x4 or Vec16 structure is:

I Vector: Position X, Position Y, Position Z, Color R

J Vector: Rotation X, Rotation Y, Rotation Z, Color G

K Vector: Scale X, Scale Y, Scale Z, Color B

T Vector: Translation X, Translation Y, Translation Z, 1 (Identity)
