View Full Version : isolating eulerAngle rotation values for operations?

If I grab $foo.rotation as eulerAngles, and $fuz.rotation as eulerAngles
is it possible to subtract the euler x values ($foo.x - $fuz.x) and apply this value to another object's .x rotation?

I'm pretty new to maxScripting so forgive this stupid question :)

The whole quat <-> euler thing is quite a knot to untangle...

Thanks!

Might have figured it out...does this sound proper?

local blah = $foo.rotation as eulerAngles
local blah2 = $fuz.rotation as eulerAngles
local Xdiff = blah.x-blah2.x

This should do it (although i think this will only work if an "XYZ" type controller is applied to the rotation)
$foo.rotation.x_rotation - $fuz.rotation.x_rotation
