Description
Function: vector llRot2Up( rotation q );| 20 | Function ID |
| 0.0 | Delay |
| 10.0 | Energy |
Computes the orientation of the local z-axis relative to the earth.
Returns a vector that is the up vector defined by q, i.e. a unit vector pointing in the positive Z direction
| • rotation | q |
Can be useful to identify the orientation of the local horizontal-plane of the prim, since it's z-axis is always perpendicular to this local horizontal plane.
Specification
Mathematically equivalent to:
ret = llVecNorm(<0., 0., 1.> * q);
If q is known to be a unit quaternion then it can be simplified as:
ret = <0., 0., 1.> * q;
