llGetLocalRot

rotation llGetLocalRot()

Returns the rotation local to the root.

Returns the local rotation of a child object relative to the root.

Technical Details

Return Type: rotation
Energy: 10

Door Script

A practical example showing how to use llGetLocalRot() in a door script that works at any angle:

//--// Door Script - Works At ANY Angle //--//

//-- works in ANY single prim door, linked or un-linked
//-- works in muti prim doors NOT linked to a larger structure
//-- REQUIREMENTS: a cut root prim. Suggest cube, pathcut start=.125, end=.625
//-- CAVEAT: single prim doors are limited to 5m width

//--// USERS MODIFY HERE v
integer vgIntDoorSwing = 90;
//-- use -# to reverse the direction of swing, eg. -90;

rotation gRotDoorSwing;

default{
  state_entry(){
    gRotDoorSwing = llEuler2Rot( <0.0, 0.0, vgIntDoorSwing> * DEG_TO_RAD );
  }

  touch_start( integer vIntTouched ){
    llSetLocalRot( (gRotDoorSwing = ZERO_ROTATION / gRotDoorSwing) * llGetLocalRot() );
  }
}

Helper Function

An equivalent way to get the local rotation of any prim in the link set:

//-- this is an equivalent call from any prim in the same link set
llList2Rot( llGetLinkPrimitiveParams( target_prim, [PRIM_ROT_LOCAL] ), 0 )
//-- where "target_prim" is the link number of the prim you want to get the local rotation of

Notes

If called from the root prim, it returns the region-relative rotation of the object
Returns the rotation relative to the root for child prims in a linkset
