Get_Facing/Set_Facing are definatly manipulating the Z axis. Get_Facing is calling Matrix3D::Get_Z_Rotation.

The reason Rotation.Z and Get_Facing/Set_Facing are different is that Get_Facing converts the returned result from Radians to Degrees before it returns it and Set_Facing converts the passed in value to Radians before using it.

The Matrix3D functions do not do this.
If you need to do the conversion, use DEG_TO_RADF and RAD_TO_DEGF.

huh :s

what the code does for me right now is
create a zone thats not even slight in th right facing its just a random direction and its not really usefull

and if i understand correctly i can solve that by

doing DEG_TO_RADF(Commands->Get_Facing(obj))to set the Z rotation?

yep that did it thnx guys


can i attach a zone to a object?

The code below will create a zone at the base center. For some maps, like Canyon and Glacier, you'll need more than one zone to properly cover the base.


Vector3 Get_Base_Center(int Team) {
	Vector3 ReturnPos(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f);
	BaseControllerClass *Base = BaseControllerClass::Find_Base(Team);
	if (Base) {
		int Num = 0;
		for (Num = 0;Num < Base->BuildingList.Count();Num++) {
			ReturnPos += Commands->Get_Position(Base->BuildingList[Num]);
		}
		if (Num) {
			ReturnPos /= (float)Num;
		}
	}
	return ReturnPos;
}

void LevelLoaded() {
	Vector3 Size = Vector3(50.0f,50.0f,50.0f); //Should load the size per map from a config file.
	Matrix3 Rotation(true);
	Rotation.Rotate_Z(1.0f); //Should load a rotation per map from a config file.
	OBBoxClass Box(Get_Base_Center(0),Size,Rotation); //Create the bounding box with the position of the Nod base, and the size and rotation defined earlier.
	GameObject* Zone = Create_Zone("Script_Zone_All",Box);
	//Attach whatever script you want to the zone now.
}



i wanted to use this but i cant, buildinglist is inaccesible, so i cant do it this
