rotation pivot problem

Submitted by titane357 on Sat, 2011-04-16 07:47

Hello
I did a few lines of script for randomizing parked cars

"(
OBS = getCurrentSelection()
for OB in OBS do
(
a = #(0.0 , 180)
b = ( random 1 2)
--print OB as string
OBGZ = OB.rotation.z
NOBGZ = OBGZ + a[b]
OB.rotation.z = NOBGZ
)
)"

But the cars don't rotate around each car's pivot.
(I turned on "use pivot center" and "world")
Can somebody help ? Thanks :-)

You guys need to work more on your laziness.
Believe me, after a while you find ways to save a lot of keystrokes.

Or even...

for obj in selection do rotate obj (180 * random 0 1) z_axis
Less typing ;)

Hi, I am sure there is some

Hi,
I am sure there is some other way to fix this, but I still dont really understand those quaternion rotations ^^, so maybe this will work for you as well:

(
	OBS = getCurrentSelection()
	for OB in OBS do
	(
		a = #(0.0 , 180)
		b = ( random 1 2)
		rotate OB (eulerAngles 0 0 a[b])
	)
)

Cheers
