Summary
Function: float llRot2Angle( rotation rot );| 0.0 | Forced Delay |
| 10.0 | Energy |
Returns a float that is the rotation angle represented by rot
| • rotation | rot |
Use in conjunction with llRot2Axis.
To undo use llAxisAngle2Rot.
Caveats
This always returns a positive angle <= PI radians, that is, it is the unsigned minimum angle. A rotation of 3/2 PI radians (270 degrees) will return an angle of PI / 2 radians, not -PI / 2.
