you might have luck using the right rotation, not sure
#Rotation with item displays
verbal delta

You're simply trying to replicate a motion on a circle.
verbal delta
otherwise you'll have to rotate the translation vector too
oblique acorn
Item displays are rotated around their center, therefore the problem becomes quite easy to solve.
verbal delta
kormic what are you talking about
oblique acorn
They want to set a correct translation, no?
Unless I am wrong, sprinkling a bit of trigonometry on it will do the trick.
verbal delta
yes, i'm confused because you're just re-stating what they said already
oblique acorn
I was about to explain how to achieve it, my friend.
Without a bunch of pre-computed vectors, that is.
verbal delta
the precomputed vectors they have are not relevant to the rotating thing
they have a lot of displays they want to maintain in a formation
that's what the vectors are for
they just need to either
- use the right rotation (i'm not 100% sure this rotates the translation)
- or rotate the translation vectors by the same quaternion they're rotating the displays with
oblique acorn
I am confused. Am I the one misunderstanding the problem or you're mistaken about me misunderstanding it?
verbal delta
both are one line fixes
actually it'd be even simpler if they used 2.10's display syntaxes
oblique acorn
Okay, now I know what you mean Sovde. I was talking about vectors which were most likely used to achieve the third scenario, but again, it seems to have been made in Blockbench.
Nevermind then.
verbal delta
rotate {_x} around z-axis by {_a} degrees```Yes. This is likely to be the optimal solution.
My first thought was to do the following to set coordinates of translation vectors, but your is more concise and versatile.
set {_y} to {_r} * cos({_phi})```if you find yourself using sin and cos for vectors, you're probably doing it wrong
better and faster to have the trig happen in java rather than skript
oblique acorn
Sorry. It's just that I am not a programmer, I am an engineer.
verbal delta
kormic you know those aren't mutually exclusive
oblique acorn
True, but I lack the skill to be effective at programming. As you can see, I tend to build things from stratch.
oblique acorn
better and faster to have the trig happen in java rather than skript
That's true too.

Depends on what you specifically mean. We've covered a few topics here.
Vectors? Quaternions? Mathematics in general? Display entities and transforming them?
oblique acorn
Be more specific. What kind of editing?
bronze token
like editing.
