Entity Movement and Pivot in Blitz3D

1. Entity Movement and Pivot in Blitz3D Presenter: Ratko Jagodic Demos: Mark Thompson

2. Movement • MoveEntity – relative to position AND orientation • TranslateEntity – relative to position but NOT orientation • PositionEntity – absolute position in 3D space • Syntax • operation entity, dX, dY, dZ University of Illinois at Chicago

3. Rotation • TurnEntity – relative to orientation • RotateEntity – absolute orientation • Syntax • operation entity, pitch, yaw, roll University of Illinois at Chicago

4. Pivots • CreatePivot – creates a pivot entity to attach the children entities to • EntityParent – assigns a parent to an entity • very useful for moving multiple entities at the same time in the same direction (move only the pivot instead of all the entities) Syntax EntityParent entity, parent University of Illinois at Chicago
