New extension: <Quaternions>
Description
The extension adds Quaternion functionality to GDevelop. This avoids Euler angles by first converting to Quaternions. Issues like gimbal lock and order of rotations can mostly be ignored with quaternions. Any 3d rotations generally need quaternions and in future it will have slerp functionality, allowing interpolated rotations that are different to Euler interpolation. Made by InkedToast
How to use the extension
- Convert Euler ZYX to Quaternion WXYZ
- Convert Quaternion to Euler (The numbers may look different like a euler 100 100 100 will become -80 80 -80 after converting and then converting back as quaternions have multiple solutions, but the angle will still be the same)
- Multiply Quaternion1 by Quaternion2
- Quaternion Inverse
- Quaternion normalisation (to make length 1)
All functions store values in Struct variables with children W X Y Z. In future the above will also be accessable through expressions. To use effectively convert Euler angles to Quaternion and apply rotations through Quaternion multiplication. Next keep rotations stored as Quaternions and apply by first normalising and then converting back to euler. To reverse a rotation, multiply by the inverse Quaternion. Enjoy.
