The SQuaternion struct contains a simple 4D vector of X, Y, Z and W floats designed to represent rotations with orientation.

Fields

X

float X { get; set; }

X axis

local obj = Space.Host.ExecutingObject;

local originalRot = obj.LocalRotation;
obj.SubscribeToEvents();

local onStartMethod = function()
  Space.Log(originalRot.x);
  -- prints the X component of this object as a float

  originalRot.x = 0.25;
  -- assigns 0.25 value to the X component

  obj.LocalRotation = originalRot;
  -- sets the the new rotation
end

obj.OnStart(onStartMethod);


Y

float Y { get; set; }

Y axis

local obj = Space.Host.ExecutingObject;

local originalRot = obj.LocalRotation;
obj.SubscribeToEvents();

local onStartMethod = function()
  Space.Log(originalRot.y);
  -- prints the Y component of this object as a float

  originalRot.y = 0.25;
  -- assigns 0.25 value to the Y component

  obj.LocalRotation = originalRot;
  -- sets the the new rotation
end

obj.OnStart(onStartMethod);


Z

float Z { get; set; }

Z axis

local obj = Space.Host.ExecutingObject;

local originalRot = obj.LocalRotation;
obj.SubscribeToEvents();

local onStartMethod = function()
  Space.Log(originalRot.z);
  -- prints the Z component of this object as a float

  originalRot.z = 0.25;
  -- assigns 0.25 value to the Z component

  obj.LocalRotation = originalRot;
  -- sets the the new rotation
end

obj.OnStart(onStartMethod);


W

float W { get; set; }

W axis

local obj = Space.Host.ExecutingObject;

local originalRot = obj.LocalRotation;
obj.SubscribeToEvents();

local onStartMethod = function()
  Space.Log(originalRot.w);
  -- prints the W component of this object as a float

  originalRot.w = 0.25;
  -- assigns 0.25 value to the W component

  obj.LocalRotation = originalRot;
  -- sets the the new rotation
end

obj.OnStart(onStartMethod);


Constructors

__new

SQuaternion __new (float x, float y, float z, float w)

Initialises quaternion from four floats

local newQuat = Quaternion.New(0.0, 0.707, 0.0, 0.707);

-- creates a new quaternion with value [0.0, 0.707, 0.0, 0.707]

-- which is [0.0, 90.0, 0.0] Euler angles


__new

SQuaternion __new (float x, float y, float z)

Creates a quaternion from 3 Euler floats (i.e. 3x 0-360' angles)

No example provided yet


__new

SQuaternion __new (SVector angle, float axis)

Creates a quaternion from a Angle / Axis pair

No example provided yet


__new

SQuaternion __new (SVector forward)

Creates a quaternion a forward vector; presuming up is (0,1,0)

No example provided yet


__new

SQuaternion __new (SVector forward, SVector up)

Creates a quaternion a forward and up vector pair

No example provided yet


Members

Note: Add/Scale/Divide are also implemented as operators (e.g. A + B, A += B)

EulerAngles

SVector EulerAngles { get; }

Returns the Euler rotation for this Quaternion

local newQuat = Quaternion.New(0.0, 0.707, 0.0, 0.707);

local euler = newQuat.EulerAngles;
Space.Log(euler);

-- prints [0, 90, 0]


OVERLOAD

SVector OVERLOAD *(SQuaternion, SVector)

Rotates a vector by a quaternion

local newQuat = Quaternion.New(0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0);

local newVector = Vector.Forward;
rotatedVector = newQuat * newVector;

Space.Log(rotatedVector);

-- prints [0, 0, -1]


OVERLOAD

SQuaternion OVERLOAD *(SQuaternion, SQuaternion)

Rotates a quaternion by a quaternion

local newQuat = Quaternion.New(0.0, 0.707, 0.0, 0.707);

local newVector = Vector.New(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
rotatedVector = newQuat * newQuat;

-- rotatedVector is a quaternion with value [0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0]

-- which is [0.0, 180.0, 0.0] Euler angles


Angle

float Angle (SQuaternion other);

Returns the angle between two quaternions

local newQuat = Quaternion.New(0.0, 0.707, 0.0, 0.707);

local otherQuat = Quaternion.New(0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
angle = newQuat.Angle(otherQuat);

Space.Log(angle);

-- prints 90.0173034667969
