Move Avatar Depending on Which Way I'm Facing?

Hey everyone, long time no post,

I'm working on a script which I want to move me to the right and left, depending on which way I'm facing. The script is in an attachment and the movement is working, just not in the right directions.

How can I figure out which way my av is facing and therefore what "right" is? And would there be a way to, say if my avatar was facing 30 degrees east of north, to have it so when I move to the right, it moves along the east west axis, as opposed to right at 30 degrees south of west?

I'm terrible at everything dealing with rots, so here's all I have so far:



Thanks in advance for all the help

Easy peasy.

if (pressed & CONTROL_ROT_RIGHT)
            {
   	              pos = llGetPos() - llRot2Left(llGetRot()); // for going left, add.
   	 // llRot2Left, llRot2Fwd, llRot2Up all take a
 	 // rotation and give you "one meter" in their respective directions.
   	              targ = llTarget(pos, .5);
   	              llMoveToTarget(pos, .1);
            }

Oh sick thanks. Stupid me .

So does that move along the x and y axes or just left/right from the way you're facing?

That's left and right according to the direction you are facing. If you want to constrain it to the East-West direction (x-axis) or North-South direction (y-axis), I'd do it like this:

vector getConstrainedLeftDir()
{
   vector avatarLeft = llRot2Left(llGetRot());
   if (llFabs(avatarLeft.x) >= llFabs(avatarLeft.y))
   {
      if (avatarLeft.x >= 0)
      {
         return <1.0, 0.0, 0.0>
      } else
      {
         return <-1.0, 0.0, 0.0>
      }
   } else
   {
      if (avatarLeft.y >= 0)
      {
         return <0.0, 1.0, 0.0>
      } else
      {
         return <0.0, -1.0, 0.0>
      }
   }
}

vector getConstrainedRightDir()
{
   return -getConstrainedLeftDir();
}

That works perfectly, thanks for all the help
