Summary

Function: vector llRot2Up( rotation q );
0.0 Forced 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: <lsl>ret = llVecNorm(<0., 0., 1.> * q);</lsl> If q is known to be a unit quaternion then it can be simplified as: <lsl>ret = <0., 0., 1.> * q;</lsl>
