Question by xuxu · Jan 23, 2014 at 10:19 AM · orient

Help!About the Infinite Runner Starter Pack

Yo,everyone!I have a some question about the Infinite Runner Starter Pack.In this script "InfiniteObject.cs" I do not understand the principle about function "orient".help me ,give me some explanation picture or some examples of this principle.Please! 3Q! the code like this : // orient for platform and scene objects public virtual void orient(Vector3 position, Quaternion rotation) { Vector3 pos = Vector3.zero; float yAngle = rotation.eulerAngles.y; pos.Set(startPosition.x * Mathf.Cos(yAngle * Mathf.Deg2Rad) + startPosition.z * Mathf.Sin(yAngle * Mathf.Deg2Rad), startPosition.y, -startPosition.x * Mathf.Sin(yAngle * Mathf.Deg2Rad) + startPosition.z * Mathf.Cos(yAngle * Mathf.Deg2Rad)); pos += position; thisTransform.position = pos; thisTransform.rotation = startRotation; thisTransform.Rotate(0, yAngle, 0, Space.World); } // orient for collidables which have a platform as a parent public virtual void orient(PlatformObject parent, Vector3 position, Quaternion rotation) { thisTransform.parent = parent.getTransform(); Vector3 pos = startPosition; pos += position; thisTransform.localPosition = parent.getTransform().InverseTransformPoint(pos); thisTransform.rotation = startRotation; thisTransform.Rotate(0, rotation.eulerAngles.y, 0, Space.World); }

Thank U!

The tricky bit is probably:

     pos.Set(startPosition.x * Mathf.Cos(yAngle * Mathf.Deg2Rad) + startPosition.z *        Mathf.Sin(yAngle * Mathf.Deg2Rad),
             startPosition.y,
             -startPosition.x * Mathf.Sin(yAngle * Mathf.Deg2Rad) + startPosition.z * Mathf.Cos(yAngle * Mathf.Deg2Rad));
     pos += position;
     thisTransform.position = pos;


All this is doing is:

  1. Using trig to calculate the offset caused by the rotation ("by rotating a point around the origin").

  2. Summing this offset with the position parameter.

  3. Using the result to define the position of this transform.
