Title: Rotating objects at an angle using local axis.
Post by: smiffy on May 09, 2017, 06:10:07 AM

Hi there, hoping someone can help.

I have an object that is placed into a scene matching the slope of the plane it sits on.

I can add a random rotation using the rotate action and it rotates item on a slope properly on the local axis.

Setting the rotation does not work though. I'm not too good with euler angles but this is what i've tried.

Get Rotation: save the Euler Angle (v3Euler)
Set V3 XYZ: Create a new rotation around the Y axis, eg 0,255,0 (v3NewRot)
Vector3 Lerp: From v3Euler to v3NewRot . (v3Lerp)
Set Rotation: Euler to v3Lerp.

Everything is set to self but it still rotates on the world axis.
Can anyone help please?

Regards,
Matt

Can anyone please help with this at all?

Why is it that the Rotate action will rotate around the local axis but set rotation will not? And how can I set rotation using a local axis?

Thanks
Matt
