RotateTo or LookAt: the right way? Software: Away3D 4.x

GameDesigner, Jr. Member Posted: 17 June 2013 07:59 AM Total Posts: 33 Hi friends! I’m trying to make the cone (and other meshes) rotate and behave like the line segment (along the normals) (please see attachment) I’m trying with `testMesh.rotateTo(normal.clone().x, normal.clone().y, normal.clone().z);` or `testMesh.lookAt(normal.clone());` but I guess that I’m doing something wrong. ......... private function onMeshMouseMove(event:MouseEvent3D):void { // Update normal tracer. var normal:Vector3D = event.sceneNormal.clone(); normal.scaleBy(100); pickingNormalTracer.position = event.scenePosition; var lineSegment:LineSegment = pickingNormalTracer.getSegment( 0 ) as LineSegment; lineSegment.end = normal.clone(); lineSegment.startColor = 0xff0000; lineSegment.endColor = 0x00ff00; testMesh.position = event.scenePosition; // THE SMAR POINT xD testMesh.rotateTo(normal.clone().x,normal.clone().y,normal.clone().z); } ......

GameDesigner, Jr. Member Posted: 17 June 2013 12:26 PM Total Posts: 33 [ # 2 ] Hi John, Thanks for your reply. Maybe you mean the yUp parameter of the Cone Geometry, but that doesn’t works. Is there any other way to make the meshes behave like the segment of the example? I’ve tried almost everything without success :/ JohnBrookes - 17 June 2013 09:01 AM Cone geometry has a boolean upAxis parameter. Toggle that to true/false.
John Brookes, Moderator Posted: 17 June 2013 01:16 PM Total Posts: 732 [ # 3 ] Yeah sorry meant yUp In your mouseMove function. testMesh.position = event.scenePosition; testMesh.lookAt(event.scenePosition.clone().add(event.sceneNormal.clone())); //you can then move it futher in/out by doing something like. testMesh.moveForward(50);
