targetrot,my seeming bain

[MishkaKatyusha]

welp,first an introduction of sorts.

ive been going from one place to the other on the web for the past 15 years.i love computer stuff.I do 3d graphics,story writing,animations,video animations,sound editing,music,and the list goes on.

 

and i also love code,im not terribly good at programming mind you,but i know how to alter things when needed,and have a thorough grounding in logic,also algebra.

 

bit of a problem though.now im on here.ive created a bed which is essentially two linked hemispheares (one for the bed part,the other acting as a sort of pillow).ive bought a script and some animations to go with it.being very mindful to only pick the resellable ones (since that is my intention)

but the one thing which has befuddled me so far is "targetrot".ive already worked out quite easily how vector target works,that was easy.

but targetrot does not seem to follow at all the logical algebraic representation of axis of movement.the best i can tell each set of numbers in targetrot is some kind of nonsensical looping,spiraling path.

i know that it has something to do with the object itself.

whats bad is though,the object movement and rotation is just fine,represented with algebraic axis standard.

but since obviously targetrot isnt,this leads to a massive mismatch where it isnt at all clear what those numbers will do when you alter them.

so my question boils down to: how to use targetrot to make sure my sleeping on side script and the animation has my character sleeping on her side on my bed.

 

(im also wondering,is it possibly a bad animation which is messing up things?)

not sure what that all abiut do you mean llSitTarget

welp,lemme show you my problem

following is the code,with the problem highlighted in bold,and a screenshot showing what that does.this bed is two linked hemispheares

i almost forgot,the larger of the two hemispheares is the root prim of the two object linkset

[steph Arnott]

ok, this line, rotation targetRot = <0.00001, -0.53456, -0.06875, 0.51038>; is the hard coded value Euler rotation, What you need to do is use change the the constant to <x,y,z> and convert it using llRot2Euler http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlEuler2Rot

[MishkaKatyusha]

ahem,this is very nice.as far as i can deduce your attempting to tell me how to convert those quaternion mathmatics into algebraic coordinates.

but im afraid i didnt entirely understand what you said.as i explained inthe first post,im not terribly good with the scripting (or was it the second post?)

 

which part of my sleep script do i put this in >.> and how to do so without getting a syntax error,that requires abit more experience in lsl than a first timer(ish) can manage)

[steph Arnott]

i have no idea what algebra has to do with anything, if you click the link i left you will get an explanation,

should say x,y,z axis. just chang the angle script is set at 30 degree around the z axis at the moment

i just updated windows and it messing my system up.

[MishkaKatyusha]

thank you thank you ^-^

 

what you did was exactly what i wanted,algebraic coordinates for rotation axis

 

turned out 90,90,10 and a little adjustment to the height worked flawlessly,ty again ^-^
