NavMesh::SetRotation

This method can be used to rotate a navigation mesh. You can make characters that walk on the ceiling, or handle navigation in a space simulation that has no uniform "up" direction.

Syntax

• void SetRotation(const float pitch, const float yaw, const float roll)
• void SetRotation(const Vec3& rotation)
• void SetRotation(const Quat& rotation)

Example

This example tilts the scene and the navigation mesh by 45 degrees. Note that the navigation agent is aligned to the navmesh rotation.
