getAxisVect

getAxisVect(worldVec)

Returns the alignment of the Game Object's x-axis and y-axis and z-axis to a World vector.

Return type:   List [   cosine of the angle of object x-axis to a world vector,
cosine of the angle of object y-axis to a world vector,
cosine of the angle of object z-axis to a world vector   ]

worldVec:
Type:  List [ worldX, worldY, worldZ]

Examples:
A world vector pointing in the direction of the World X axis: [1.0, 0.0, 0.0]
A world vector pointing in the direction of the World Y axis: [0.0, 1.0, 0.0]
A world vector pointing in the direction of the World Z axis: [0.0, 0.0, 1.0]

Sample Code

# get the controller
controller = GameLogic.getCurrentController()

# get the game object controller attached to
obj = controller.owner

# get game object alignment to the World x-axis
vect = obj.getAxisVect( [1.0, 0.0, 0.0])

 
Game developers can use the game engine to create casual video games, first and third person shooters, role playing games, racing simulations and more. The game engine can be used to make both 2D games and 3D games.  Beginning game developers will only need basic knowledge of game design and programming to create rich and complex game models with photo realistic textures to add detail to the graphics of the video game.  Today's games need more than good looking low polygon game models.  Use normal maps and photo realistic textures to create high quality game models.
