Rotation issue with setRotation/Transform
by Jamie Zephyr · in Torque Game Engine · 03/05/2009 (4:34 pm) · 2 replies
My issue is that when I use, for example, either of these:
setRotation(0 0 1 45); //-> 45* Set rotate
setTransform(0 0 0 0 0 1 45); //-> 45* Set rotate & Set position @ origin
They both end up setting the rotation = to: 0 0 1 58.3101
Why is torque doing this rather than rotating it to exactly the angle I want?
You can even see this by setting an objects rotate or transform through the console by the same method.
Thanks for any help I can get!

Wow... I didn't even think about the fact that Torque could be using radians... I feel so thick! Thanks so much Orion!

try setting the value as radians instead of degrees.
note that 45 radians is 2578 degrees, and 2578 % 360 = 58.
