vector to euler #2706

Closed erentar closed 3 years ago

erentar commented 4 years ago

Need to convert from V(x,y,z) to R(pitch,yaw,roll) without setting it to steering

apologies for lazy issue, could not find any better way to get help

nuggreat commented 4 years ago

A vector does not cleanly convert to a direction as a vector only contains two of the three elements of a direction, thus a second vector is needed to get the third element. While setting steering to a vector will convert the vector to a direction you can't access the resulting direction as that only exists internally and is not accessible in kerboscript, also NEVER SET STEERING. If you do need a direction than the function LOOKDIRUP() is the method to convert a pair of vectors to a direction. Also for something like this the kOS subreddit or the kOS discord would be better places to ask for help of this type.

Thanks for the fast response! LOOKDIRUP() is exactly what i needed.

Pull request #2707 to put these in documentation

Should have closed but it didn't because I had to type PR 2707 by hand to recreate it from develop instead of from master
