Description

Description:
Set object's up vector. Direction vector will remain unchanged. Default object's vectorUp is [0,0,1]. In Multiplayer, setVectorUp must be executed on the machine where the object it applied to is local.

Notes

setVectorUp can only influence an object's bank. It can not influence pitch. Example: player setVectorUp [0,1,0] If the player is facing 0 degrees (north), then this will do NOTHING. If the player is facing 90 degrees (east), then this will make him bank 90 degrees to his left. --General Barron 21:07, 3 March 2009 (CET)

Command can be also used to rotate camera in all three axis (which also mean it's possible to set camera bank).

When applying command to an object it is possible to change either pitch or bank of the object as well (assuming object is facing North): _ammobox setVectorUp [0,1,0]; //box is pitched 90 degrees forward _ammobox setVectorUp [1,0,0]; //box is banked 90 degrees to the right However the above will stop working as soon as you attach the box to something. The following trick however will work in this case: _ammobox attachTo [player, [0,2,1]]; _ammobox setVectorUp [0,0.99,0.01]; //box is pitched ~90 degrees forward _ammobox setVectorUp [0.99,0,0.01]; //box is banked ~90 degrees to the right
