Special Effects Yaw Not Working?

[ThisPOT]

Hi all, is the Yaw not working for special effects? I can't seem to turn them in the right direction without using a dummy

My understanding is that the new Blz SFX natives the rotation axes change with each rotation so trying to use something like Euler angles doesn't work (they presume 3 fixed axes of rotation until the full rotation around each is finished). Searching on the forums here should turn up some results with workaround functions/libraries; I believe I've seen them recently.

This is what I feared lol... Why would they do this to us T.T... I will be searching for a workaround on the forums as you suggested then.

Thanks bro!.

that new natives use radians(-Pi to PI), which is quite important not angle(0 to 360). If you only change one axes it is doable, after that you need super trigo math.

Edit: if you only want facing use roll instead of yaw

Yes, I realized that for some reason... But what I could not figure out was why angles were not working (-180 to 180 is usual roll values).

So you're saying its -Pi to Pi? That's so weird and random lol ^^... How do you transform per say, an angle to the correct roll value for an effect?

It also works with (0 to 2 PI) . that was just to annouce the difference. this trigo stuf is periodic, a multiple of the angle/radians produces the same result.

To the angle radians conversion.
Use that from blizzard.j

bj_DEGTORAD = bj_PI/180.0​

->

angle * bj_DEGTORAD = wanted radians​

or

angle * PI / 180 = wanted radians​

 

[ThisPOT]

angle * PI / 180 = wanted radians

I will try that asap!


EDIT: You fucking beast xD It works Percectly!!! <3... Do you know by chance the formulas for the yaw and the pitch too?

Converting from degrees to radians is the same for all axes of rotation.

Great, that makes it easier. I thought pitch might be different since it's usually the only one that's from -90 to 90.

Thanks so much guys! Questions answered 100%!
