toTrackQuat

toTrackQuat(track, up)

Returns a quaternion rotation from the vector and the track and up axis.

Return Type: Quaternion

track
Type:   string
   "x"  = x-axis up
   "y"  = y-axis up
   "z"  = z-axis up
   "-x" = negative x-axis up
   "-y" = negative y-axis up
   "-z" = negative z-axis up
up
Type:   string
   "x" = x-axis up
   "y" = y-axis up
   "z" = z-axis up

Sample Code

# import Mathutils
import Mathutils

# create a vector
vect1 = Mathutils.Vector(1.0, 0.0, 0.0)

# use toTrackQuat
vectQuat = vect1.toTrackQuat("x", "z")
 
 
The Blender Game engine uses the Python programming language to extent the capabilities of the game engine.  The Python programming language is open source and free to use, even for commercial products.  Python is a multi-platform programing language that runs on Windows, Linux/Unix and Mac OS X operating systems.  A general-purpose programming language, Python is a high-level, dynamic, object-oriented language that beginners find easy to learn.
