(mrcrash) Item display rotate_left

[teal tundra]

Hi,

I spawn 2 item_display entity to make a "cross"

But the sapling2 isn't rotated in game

Hi I'm AutoThreadBot! Don't mind me, I'll just be adding the helper team to this thread so they can see it. A human will get to you soon.

I don't fully get what you mean by cross, but:

    - define location <player.location.with_pose[0,0]>
    - spawn item_display[item=oak_sapling] <[location]>
    - spawn item_display[item=oak_sapling] <[location]> save:sapling
    - define sapling <entry[sapling].spawned_entity>

    - adjust <[sapling]> left_rotation:<location[0,1,0].to_axis_angle_quaternion[<element[90].to_radians>]>```
The input in the location constructor (in this case `0,1,0`) is the axis you're rotating the entity around
`1,0,0` is the x axis, `0,1,0` is the y axis etc.

This is exactly what I wanted to do, thank you

I didn't know that the location constructor set rotation

[stone jewel]

you can use <location[0,1,0].to_axis_angle_quaternion[<element[90].to_radians>]> then

it rotates it 90 degrees around y

[teal tundra]

Okay so

with - adjust <entry[sapling2].spawned_entity> interpolation_duration:0t - adjust <entry[sapling2].spawned_entity> interpolation_start:0 - adjust <entry[sapling2].spawned_entity> left_rotation:<location[0,1,0].to_axis_angle_quaternion[<element[90].to_radians>]>

that work, but the entity isn't rotate instantly, look like the interpolation_duration don't take 0t

[stone jewel]

why are you interpolating it?

If you want it to instantly rotate, spawn it with the left rotation applied

[teal tundra]

Uh i don't know how to do that

each time i want to adjust a display entity mech i use interpolation 😐

[stone jewel]

    - define location <player.location.with_pose[0,0].center>
    #define the rotation quat
    - define q <location[0,1,0].to_axis_angle_quaternion[<element[90].to_radians>]>

    - spawn item_display[item=oak_sapling] <[location]>
    #spawn it with the left rotation applied
    - spawn item_display[item=oak_sapling;left_rotation=<[q]>] <[location]>```

[teal tundra]

Okay, really usefull, usually i put this sort of mech inside the entity script

but yeah, better to make a genereic entity script and adjust it on spawning btw

[stone jewel]

You can do that, I'm just giving you an example

[stone jewel]

you dont need to do this

to my understanding, interpolation is to smoothly transition between two values

[teal tundra]

so i can use a mech only for display entity withut interpolation, like the left_rotate

[stone jewel]

yeah

[teal tundra]

okayyy

Thank's you 🙂

time to resolve it !
