Object rotation

by Justin Mosiman · in Torque Game Engine · 12/25/2006 (7:12 pm) · 2 replies

Hello,

I'm trying to rotate an object along the z axis, but I'm not having any luck. From the threads that I looked at, I would think that the following would work if I wanted to set the z rotation to 3.14:

MatrixF zRot;
zRot.set(EulerF(0,0,3.14));
mNewBuilding->setTransform(zRot);

But when I try to rotate it in game, the object just disappears.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Justin

MatrixF holds position as well. You are setting position to (0,0,0) with the above code. zRot.setColumn(3, Point3F()) would set your position. Are you checking this? Wish i had more ideas, but im not great in C++. Good luck, and happy holidays!

Thank you, that was the problem. I didn't think that the MatrixF contained the position, but sure enough, when I went to point (0,0,0), there was the rotated object.

Happy holidays!
