Title: get local Rotation
Post by: nFighter on August 19, 2017, 01:42:48 PM

Looks like a simple question, but I stuck. How can I get the local rotation of the object like it is shown in the inspector? For example it rotates from -10 to 10, how can I just get this numbers, instead of all this eulerquaternionstuff

Hi,
"Get Rotation" action?

Btw.
You should try to avoid using get/set property.

if you can't find certain action, there is a big list of actions on the Ecosystem (https://hutonggames.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W1181) :)

Is get/set property so bad?

But even with Get Rotation I can't obtain this result  :-\

Hi,
i think you need to set 'Space' to "world"

No way.  "world" showing me the rotation relatively to the world, so it's inherit all the rotations from the parent objects and show 0..360 angle relatively world x-axis.

Self mode is correct, but  it can't give me -10 value (like it shown in the inspector), instead giving me 350.

And it's very frustrating, because I can't simply remap value (-10..10) in one action. It's jumping from the 0 to 360 and back.

I actually had this same problem a bunch of months back (was working a small VR game). Let me take a look into it again now that my C# is a bit better.

Great, thanks! Looking forward to see your results!

I wonder, is it really not a common task, so there is no common solution out of the box?  ???

So, as I understand, basically people use solution like:
if (x > 180)   x -= 360;

Isn't it weird? I see the negative values right in the inspector with my eyes, why can't I just get it directly like it shown?  :o

And obviously I can't make it in one FSM state and need to make a networks of checks and transitions?

OK, I made my own action for negative values of local rotation. If someone else need it - here it is

Sorry, i did not check properly. (was working on 3 project @ the same time)

Hi,

 yes, the Transform component inspector is processing the euler angles, so getting the exacty same values means fiddling around. 350 is the right value, -10 is a processed value and it's not available form the transform rotation directly.

 Bye,

Hi,

 I just put that action on the Ecosystem for convenience.

 Bye,
