[SOLVED] usinful matrix functions

[sergey.pozhidaev]

hi, can you add translation and scalation core functions like rotation for matrix?

Hello, Sergey

No, I'm afraid we won't add these variables in the nearest future.
You can take the last column from input matrix for translation and main diagonal for scalation matrix.

Please check the usage of swizzling for matrix here: https://developer.unigine.com/en/docs/1.0/scripting/language/data_types#swizzling

no swizzling in C++ API

Hello there!

 

Let me put my 5 cents: you can use decomposeTransform and composeTransform functions for rotation/translation/scale. This functions are available both in C++ and UnigineScript.

i am using this, but i want comfortable core one-string function like rotation

You can always build your own small utility class for conveniance

Also, you can use mat4::setTranslate, mat4::setRotate, mat4::setScale methods in C++ API.

very nice, but i need mat4::getTranslate, mat4::getRotate, mat4::getScale  :D

I will add this suggestion to our internal bug tracker. However, can't promise anything at this moment, sorry.

Good news! New methods will be available with the next SDK update:

• mat4::getTranslate()
• mat4::getRotate()
• mat4::getScale()
