Static Shape always faces north

[Plexious]

For some reason whenever I create a static shape it faces north no matter what I put in after the X, Y, and Z.

Code: [Select]

$DirectionNorth = "1 0 0 0";
$DirectionEast = "0 0 1 1.5708";
$DirectionSouth = "0 0 1 3.1416";
$DirectionWest = "0 0 -1 1.5708";
$DirectionUp = "1 0 0 1.5708";
$DirectionDown = "-1 0 0 1.5708";

Code: [Select]

new StaticShape()
{
position = %x SPC %y SPC %z SPC $DirectionEast;
scale = "1 1 1";
dataBlock = SomeShape;
};Help is much appreciated.

Position is only XYZ coordinates.

Try calling this method on the static shape you create:

Code: [Select]

someStaticsShape.setTransform(%x SPC %y SPC %z SPC $DirectionEast);

Code: [Select]

$DirectionNorth = "1 0 0 0";
$DirectionEast = "0 0 1 1.5708";
$DirectionSouth = "0 0 1 3.1416";
$DirectionWest = "0 0 -1 1.5708";
$DirectionUp = "1 0 0 1.5708";
$DirectionDown = "-1 0 0 1.5708";


Code: [Select]

new StaticShape()
{
position = %x SPC %y SPC %z;
rotation = $DirectionEast;
scale = "1 1 1";
dataBlock = SomeShape;
};
Your welcome.

Pretty sure the rotation variable of the object has to be in degrees not radians

er, no

That's what I get for looking at System_PropSys for coding help.
