How can I rotate an item display in the direction of a vector between 2 coordinates? For example, I have (0,0,0) and (3,5,0). I want the item display to align with the vector between those 2 coordinates. Preferably using mechanisms

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 know about left_rotation, but it inputs a quaterniontag which I'm not sure how to calculate here. And that's also rotation on only 1 axis

any smart ass that knows this stuff?

So you want item_display A look at the location B?

@karmic fiber what does "I want the item display to align with the vector between those 2 coordinates." mean?

That means you want the text of an ItemDisplay to be rotated so that it points in the direction between two coordinates. It's like drawing an arrow from one point to another with text on it.
To do this, you'd use the vector argument of ItemDisplay, passing in a Vector3DTag with the two coordinates as its start and end points

yes, monke has the right idea

latent dagger Feb 15, 2025, 10:10 PM

#

Only yaw? or exact pointing?

fair cloak Feb 15, 2025, 10:10 PM

#

exact

#

all 3 axis

!c look

latent dagger !c look

Command: Look

Group

entity

Syntax

look (<entity>|...) [<location>/cancel/yaw:<yaw> pitch:<pitch>] (duration:<duration>) (offthread_repeat:<#>)

Short Description

Causes the NPC or other entity to look at a target location.

Description

Makes the entity look towards the location.

You can specify either a target location, or a yaw and pitch.

Can be used on players.

If a duration is set, the entity cannot look away from the location until the duration has expired.
Use the cancel argument to end the duration earlier.

Optionally, you can use the "offthread_repeat:" option alongside "yaw:" and "pitch:"
to cause a player's rotation to be smoothed out with a specified number of extra async rotation packets within a single tick.

Does look command works for you?

fair cloak Feb 15, 2025, 10:19 PM

#

isn't that only for npcs and players?

#

I'll try later though

latent dagger Feb 15, 2025, 10:20 PM

#

no it's for all entities

fair cloak Feb 15, 2025, 10:21 PM

#

👍 then Ill try
