getHorizontalAngle question

Hi Im trying to set the rotation of a space ship model to that of my camera. Howerver when i try and use getHorizontalAngle and set my model rotation, it makes the wrong side of the model face my target. Is there a way to change the vector that getHorizontalAngle rotates from (0,0,1) to another dire...

Angle b/t Point and plane

HI I have a point in space, and a plane and im trying to figure out how to find the angle between the two. Not just any angle but the smallest angle. the plane runs through me, its like seeing a star in the sky and figuring out the angle that star is off the horizon If i could find the point on the ...

the gethorizontlangle() makes the wing of the model point at the target, so when i add 90degrees to the y, it almost points at it, but points slightly above or below it, and it always orients the model with the same side facing up. I think its because my model is not based with the front being on th...

Polar angles to target in 3d space

Hi I have a 3d model of a jet and a target. My problem is I need to get the angle to the target from the horizon of the 3d model, and need the angle off a vertical plane that cuts the model down the center. Anyone know how to do this? I need these 2 angles so I can feed then into a neural network so...

Rotating a model in 3D space

Hi I'm trying to put together a dog fight space game. The spaceship is a IMeshSceneNode But I'm having some problems with rotating in 3D space relative to the object it self. I was trying to use the code in this topic http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=30707&highlight=rotatio...
