Rotation

#1 So...anyone? I just want to do this
%start
%end
%end = %end(rotate 90 around %start)

#2 I think your question lacks context. Without knowing that, it's real hard to answer except in some random, abstract way. In a way, it appears you answered your own question.

#3 What the heck are you talking about Lee?

Its a perfectly valid question and he provided wonderful context in the second post.

I *think* this might do it, but I'm no expert.

// axis and angle rotation
   %rot = "0 0 1" SPC mDegToRad(90);   // rotate 90 degress around Z axis
   %mat = MatrixCreate(%start, %rot);
   %endInObjectSpace = VectorSub(%end, %start);
   %endInObjectSpace = MatrixMulPoint(%mat, %endInObjectSpace);
   %end = VectorAdd(%endInObjectSpace, %start);

#4 Does torque suport vertexes? I thought it only supported skeletons?

#5 @Brain: seeing as how this group is General Technical Issues For Game Developers >> Programming, we cannot know if he's talking about Torquescript or not. Since I know that TS doesn't support what he wants to do, in particular. You've provided a nice rotation algorithm, though :)

Is he talking about vertex animation, as TedHehdjehki wonders? Vertex shader? General 3d programming? Who knows. It's hard to get help when you're questions are vague--I'm actually trying to be helpful.

#6 Sorry, I meant to say vectors, or at least that better be the right term. My stupid mistake, I see what you guys mean. No I just want to get one coordinate (tri-ordinate?) and rotate it around another inside the game world.
ex: "5 2 0" around "7 8 3" but just in 2 dimensions, so more like "5 2" around "7 8".

I'll try out your code Brian, thankyou for the help.

#7 @Lee, well he is using Torque Script variables (see the %'s in his first post) and Torque Script does support what he wants to do (as I showed above).
