Entity::SetRotation

This method sets the rotation of an entity in 3-dimensional space, using local or global space.

Syntax

void SetRotation(const Quat& rotation, const bool global = false)
void SetRotation(const Vec3& rotation, const bool global = false)
void SetRotation(const float pitch, const float yaw, const float roll, const bool global = false)

Parameter	Description
rotation, (pitch, yaw, roll)	the rotation to set, either as a Euler or quaternion
global	indicates whether the rotation should be set in global or local space

Remarks

An entity can be rotated in local or global space. Local space is relative to the entity parent's space. If the entity does not have a parent, local and global rotation is the same.

The engine uses a left-handed rotation system. Positive pitch turns an object down. Positive yaw turns to the right. Positive roll rolls to the left.
