Hi folks. I'm sure this answer is out there a hundred times, but I'm struggling to find anything that makes sense. I'm pretty sure this is because I'm a bit thick!
I'm trying to create a 3D, non friction steering system. I have an object moving between arbitrary points without any problem, but I'm struggling to add steering.
In a 2D project I just hold a steering value as a single of radians, and I add or reduce this value by a thrust force, Turn this into a vector and multiply it into my Velocity.
This is exactly what I wan't to do in the 3D environment, but now I need a steering 3D vector, which I need to rotate. That's where I'm stuck.
Is there a magic way to achieve this, (rotate 3D vector towards xyz by rr radians), do I need to do this as a manual process, or should I be using a Matrix translation?
I guess if I start with a vector of 0,1,0 and CreateRotation(xx,yy,zz) that's what I'm looking for? Is the resulting vector the same length?
Brain at boiling point!!
Any help with this would be great.
Many thanks.
