[Tutorial] Set angles on models and Rotate them

[Yamato]

Hello

Another tutorial, this one I think is usefull, is about rotating a model angle and setting a model angle

Lets put first the model with the one Ill explain this:

Code:

OMA = Spawn("script_model",(0,0,0));
OMA SetModel("weapon_oma_pack");

Now, well set the initial angles like this.

Code:

object.angles = (angles[0],angles[1],angles[2]);

Angle Info:

Spoiler (Click to View)

angles[0] is called Pitch angle
angles[1] is called Yaw angle
angles[2] is called Roll angle
Any object has this 3 divisions in its angles

Lets go in our example:

Code:

OMA.angles = (0,90,0); // this will set the Pitch and Roll in 0 and the Yaw in 90 degrees

To rotate a model we can do it by many ways, this 3 are used to rotate the model in one certain angle(pitch,yaw,roll):

Code:

object RotatePitch(degrees,time in seconds);
object RotateYaw(degrees,time in seconds);
object RotateRoll(degrees,time in seconds);

But I recomend you using this other command, is far completer because it allows you to rotate the object in the 3 ways using a period of time.

Code:

object RotateTo((pitch,yaw,roll),time in seconds);

Lets go into our example and lets rotate the object to the angles (60,30,20) in 5 seconds:

Code:

OMA RotateTo((60,30,20),5);

Thats it, now you know how to modify a object angles perfectly

As I said :p

Can it be attached to player, e.g player walks with spinning above his head ?

If it's still a defined script_model, then yes.

No, but you can make it follow the player head,

Code:

while(1)
{
    head = self GetTagOrigin("j_head");
    OMA MoveTo(head,0.08);
    OMA RotateTo((RandomInt(360),RandomInt(360),RandomInt(360)),0.08);
    wait 0.08;
}

Code:

while(1)
{
    head = self GetTagOrigin("j_head");
    OMA MoveTo(head,0.08);
    OMA RotateTo((RandomInt(360),RandomInt(360),RandomInt(360)),0.08);
    wait 0.08;
}

Why not use linkto?

Is it posible to linkto to a player?? With attach function you wont be able to rotate the object
