View Full Version : Pitch Roll Yaw values in degrees?

Anyone know how to convert the pitch roll and yaw values to their degree equivalents? So far i think 16375 is about 90 degrees. Is there somewhere that has these values?

This has nothing to do with degrees, it's a velocity. Pitch, yaw and roll define the speed of rotating things.

Nope, I was talking about the other pitch roll and yaw, the one I changed which changed the orientation of the brush... you know THAT one...

by the way i found that if you put in a value of 16384, it rotates the brush by 90 degrees, did this with a cube brush.

If anyone is interested then that is the value, and a negative rotates the brush the opposite direction.

I needed this so I could position the 2D shape I made in the editor the way I needed.

UT stores angles as 16bit integers.
32768 = 180 clockwise (I think)
-32768 = 180 in the other direction
0 = faces in the "normal" direction.
The angles change linearly with the number.
i.e 45 degrees clockwise = 180 clockwise / 4
so you need to use a value of 8192.

Yep, 16384 times 2 works out to 32768, which is what i got for 90 degrees.. the way I did it was to make a cube brush, then rotate it smoothly to 90 degrees, then open up the properties and under movement.. it has a p/r/y for rotation of the object as well as the p/r/y for how the object is facing...

thanks for the info..
