Make a continuous rotation with "Set Rotation" circuit

[gusty pike]

Hello, I would like to make a continuous rotation like you can do with a gizmo rotator but using the "Set Rotation" circuit.

I'm really lost with all that Quaternion things, could someone help me please?

Rotator set speed

[gusty pike]

But i dont want to use the rotator gizmo (cv2) @cedar cliff

Just the "Set Rotation" chip

[cedar cliff]

i actually didn't know how at first but just figured out this (damn, i forget to make this run on object authority)

Can't you legit just add x value to the axis you want it to spin on with split and create???

Get rotation>split>add x value to any axis>quaternion create?

Also may I ask what this is for ? I'm curious

[cedar cliff]

I tried that and it didn't work

[dapper cloud]

Wuttttt

[cedar cliff]

But I'll try again

[dapper cloud]

I'll try

[cedar cliff]

i tried that again and it doesn't work

[dapper cloud]

yeah it does something weird

[dapper cloud]

Yeah cause rotation automatically gets normalized

Use the chip Quaternion Create Angle Axis or Quaternion Create Euler Angles

Quaternion Create Angle Axis method:
Set the rotation of the object to Rotation * Quaternion Create Angle Axis (Multiplication order matters, A x B = Rotate A by B)
With Quaternion Create Angle Axis, the "Axis" you input is the axis in which it spins, for example, if you wanted to rotate around the objects up vector, you would set the axis to the objects up vector. The "Angle" you input is how far clockwise around that axis it spins (in degrees), "Angle" should be Speed * Delta Time

Quaternion Create Euler Angles method:
This method is almost identical to the angle axis method, but you dont really get to control the axis it rotates around, but you do get to choose its rotation speed along either the objects X/Y/Z axis, or global X/Y/Z axis (Depending on your multiplication order)

Spawn in the chips Vector3 Create and Quaternion Create Euler Angles
Set the rotation of the object to Rotation * Quaternion Create Euler Angles
On the Vector3 Create:

• The "X" axis is how fast you want it to spin around the local/global X axis
• The "Y" axis is how fast you want it to spin around the local/global Y axis
• The "Z" axis is how fast you want it to spin around the local/global Z axis
  All of these should be some form of Speed * Delta Time
  Spinning on local or global, like I said depends on your multiplication order

The reason you multiply Speed by Delta Time, is so the objects rotate in degrees per second, rather than degrees per execution

Oh wait i remember doing angle axis method

I had a vision when writing down that method how quaternion multiplication order affects rotation
