Summary
Function: vector llRot2Left( rotation q );| 19 | Function ID |
| 0.0 | Forced Delay |
| 10.0 | Energy |
Computes the orientation of the local y-axis relative to the earth.
Returns a vector that is the left vector defined by q, i.e. a unit vector pointing in the local positive Y direction
| • rotation | q |
Can be useful to identify the orientation of the local 
sagittal-plane of the prim, since it's y-axis is always perpendicular to this local sagittal-plane.
Specification
Mathematically equivalent to: <lsl>ret = llVecNorm(<0., 1., 0.> * q);</lsl> If q is known to be a unit quaternion then it can be simplified as: <lsl>ret = <0., 1., 0.> * q;</lsl>
