Angles and 3d lines
April 13, 2000 08:53 PM
ok I''m getting read to work on a 3d game and I was wondering how I could find the path of a line through 3d space. I was planning on using the angle off of the xy plane and xz plane to figure out how an object is facing then use a line to look ahead to see if theres anything in the way... I''m wondering what a formual for that would be....

You have the normal of your object?
and is rotating it along with the object?
if not just make it 0,0,1 from the begining (or 0,1,0 if you are a 3ds freak
)
if you have it your line will be starting from the objects position and extends in the normals direction
Ox,Oy,Oz = object position
nx,ny,nz = the normal
x=Ox + t(nx)
y=Oy + t(ny)
z=Oz + t(nz)
damn i´m bad on explaining things..but I hope this helps a bit
