This function gets an entity's 4x4 matrix.

Syntax

• Mat4 GetMatrix(bool global = true)

Parameters

• global: if set to true, the global entity matrix will be returned. Otherwise, a matrix will be constructed from the local position, rotation, and scale and returned.

Example

#include "Leadwerks.h"

using namespace Leadwerks;

int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
        Leadwerks::Window* window = Leadwerks::Window::Create();
        
        Context* context = Context::Create(window);
        
        World* world = World::Create();
        
        Camera* camera = Camera::Create();
        camera->SetRotation(35, 0, 0);
        camera->Move(0, 0, -5);

        Light* light = DirectionalLight::Create();
        light->SetRotation(35, 35, 0);

        //Create a model
        Entity* entity = Model::Box();
        
        while (true)
        {
                if (window->Closed() || window->KeyDown(Key::Escape)) return false;

                Leadwerks::Leadwerks::Time::Update();
                world->Update();
                world->Render();

                entity->Turn(Leadwerks::Time::GetSpeed()*0.1, Leadwerks::Time::GetSpeed()*0.2, Leadwerks::Time::GetSpeed()*0.3);

                //Display the matrix on screen
                context->SetBlendMode(Blend::Alpha);
                Mat4 mat = entity->GetMatrix();
                context->DrawText("Row 0: " + mat[0].ToString(), 2, 2);
                context->DrawText("Row 1: " + mat[1].ToString(), 2, 22);
                context->DrawText("Row 2: " + mat[2].ToString(), 2, 42);
                context->DrawText("Row 3: " + mat[3].ToString(), 2, 62);
                
                context->Sync();
        }
