Rotating NPC's

[angel2108]

is there a program or someway to see the cords for what position you need for the way you want your NPC rotated. other than trail and error?

iv searched forums for another topic on this and didn't find one, if there is one sorry didn't see it.. xD

i think no tool out yet try to find a npc in main world that is pointed in the direction you want then copy his position into new npc

Regards.

for npc's i'm using the 8 basic directions...

i'm not sure if this is a vector(x, altitude, y) or angles(Rot1, Rot2, Rot3), but each value seems to be between [-1, 1]

thx both of you and thx ronny for the graph that helps a lot with the NPC's iv been fiddling with

Interesting Ronny as my rough average for NPC Rotations is different then that

NPC rotation system is pretty simple (vectors).

Imagine this:

        ^ N
        |
        |
W       |       E
--------+-------->
        |
        |
        | S

Each axis can go from -1 to 1. The first value is the value on the W-E axis, the 3rd value is the value on the S-N axis.
With both value you put a point, the line from centre to this point (vector) is the way the NPC is facing. Also the default (if using 0,0,0) appears to be facing east.
The 2nd value works the same except it adds a bottom-up axis (3D).

Therefore 0,0,-0.5 is exactly the same as 0,0,-1. Same for -1,0,-1 or -0.5,0.-0.5. And 0,0,0 is the same as 1,0,0.

I was trying to figure out what that rotation meant as well... can't believe after all this time not even Ronny knew it >_>

I've always just looked up an NPC that faced the direction I wanted my new one to face. Then entered the same ROT data for my new one.
