i'm using llRot2Left(llGetRot()) in a script but what i really need is llRot2RIGHT(llGetRot()). i've read the wiki pages on rotations and quaternions at least a million billion times and i'm lucky i surived it. after trying different things i thought something like llRot2Left(llGetRot() * <1,1,1,-1>  ) would do it but that gets really weird. can anyone take pity on my math retardation and give me a hint please? |

Try something like: llRot2Left( llGetRot() ) * -1.0  After all, if you just invert the signs of vector coordinates, the resulting vector points in the opposite direction, right?

you are exactly right, thank you. and thank you for not pointing and laughing as i confused rotations and vectors for the hundredth time.  |

I think quaternions cause brain damage or something. Every time I start thinking about them, drool starts dribbling out of the corner of my mouth, and I start babbling incomprehensibly, so you're not alone.
