Function: rotation llAxes2Rot( vector fwd, vector left, vector up );

Returns a rotation that is defined by the 3 coordinate axes

All three vectors must be mutually orthogonal unit vectors.

<lsl> default {

   state_entry()
   {
       rotation rot = llAxes2Rot(
           < 0, 1, 0>,
           < -1, 0, 0>,
           < 0, 0, 1>);

       llSay(0, (string) (llRot2Euler(rot) * RAD_TO_DEG) );
   }

}</lsl>

This script shows that the (fwd, left, up) system of axes is rotated into (left, -fwd, up) with a 90° rotation around z direction.

Technically, only the first two vectors are needed to define this rotation, which can be done by calling:

llAxes2Rot(fwd, left, fwd % left);

Signature
function rotation llAxes2Rot( vector fwd, vector left, vector up );
