Advanced stuff - Direct X

[Flawless_koder]

I am using Direct Animation / Direct X in a scripting environment online ( Jscript ).

I have a Transform that is applied to a DAGeometry.

The Transform variable which is applied is:


var leftRotBvr = m.Until(
m.IdentityTransform3,
ev1,
m.UntilEx(
_rotLeft,

ev2.Snapshot(_rotLeft).NotifyScript("notifier1")
)
);

Now - notifier1 returns the same sort of thing:

function notifier1(edata, cur) {
newLRot = m.Compose3(
edata,
rotLeft
);
newBvr = m.Until(
edata,
ev1,
m.UntilEx(
newLRot ,
ev2.Snapshot(
newLRot ).NotifyScript( "notifier1" )
)
);
return newBvr;
}

Hence - when ev1 is triggered - the UntilEx fires as the event - and
_rotLeft is true - ( which applies a rotate3ratedegrees ).
When ev2 is triggered - the notifier1 function is run and the rotation
stops.
I want the rotation to ALSO stop if the object has rotated /to/ a certain
amount of degrees/radians ( ie if it has rotated to 50 degrees )

I can find no reference at all to how to work this out.

Is there anyway of testing the rotation of the object?
Failing that - would i need to keep track of the rotation constantly using
localtime ?

Thanks

And just to stab me further in the back:

Microsoft's latest patch rules out any usage of direct X through the classid.
I've raised an bug issue with them and I'm trying to stay in the loop to find out what happens.

I suspect you'll find that they did it quite deliberately, as what little I know about the guts of win32 says that this "feature" is probably a screaming security hazard. I could be wrong, though.

Yeah - you're wrong.


It's back up now again.

Ah, I see, It's just embedded ActiveX, and thus no more (or less) of a security hazard than any other embedded ActiveX. Thought it was something a bit more tricksy.
