From 7148834440d10bc211628aa2652e31166bdd58a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NetherEran <55532075+NetherEran@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2020 17:38:39 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Some vector functions useful for working with rotations (#9572) * added vector.rotate * added vector.forward_from_rotation and vector.up_from_rotation * added vector.forward_up_to_rotatiton * fixed some bugs and formatting with vector functions * shortened name of some new vector functions and added documentation * made vector.rotate not require a unit vector as axis * fixed crash with vector.forward_up_to_rot * renamed new vector functions, made vector.rotate apply a rotation matrix, old vector.rotate is now called vector.rotate_around_axis * documented vector function changes * removed some whitespace to appease luacheck * implemented and fixed optimization of vector.rotate_around_axis by SmallJoker * added some unit tests for rotation vector functions * clarified that rotation vectors are in radians and according to the left hand rule * hopefully appeased luacheck * renamed rotation_to_horizontal to forward_at_rotation, rotation_to_vertical to up_at_rotation * handled cases where sin or cos are 0 in rotation vector functions * added more comments * clarified documentation of rotation vector functions * added more unit tests * changed way in which vector.rotate_around_axis is adjusted for left handed coordinate systems * made vector.rotate_around_axis actually left handed * unrolled matrix multiplication * removed vector.forward_at_rotation and vector.up_at_rotation * prettified vector.rotate_around_axis, made previous commits not break anything * removed references to removed vector.forward_at_rotation and vector.up_at_rotation * removed documentation of removed vector functions * clarified documentation and fixed styling of rotation vector functions * restyled comments minorly * spelling fixes and some hopefully better comments * allowed 'up' to be missing from vector.directions_to_rotation and removed requirement for unit vectors as arguments * made vector.rotate_around_axis() right handed again for consistency * documented previous changes * made matrix multiplication actually multiply * renamed vector.directions_to_rotation() to vector.dir_to_rotation() * optimized a distance comparison * Fixed potential false positive in unit tests.
