CharacterController::SetCharacterOrientation

Defined in: C4Character.h

Sets the orientation of a character model.

Prototype

void SetCharacterOrientation(float azimuth, float roll = 0.0F);

Parameters

`azimuth`	The angle in the x-y plane representing the direction the character is facing.
`roll`	The roll angle about the character's local x axis.

Description

The SetCharacterOrientation function sets the orientation of a character model to the angles specified by the azimuth and roll parameters. The azimuth angle is measured counterclockwise in the x-y plane, and zero corresponds to the positive x axis. If the roll angle is not zero, then the character is rotated about the x axis by the angle specified by the roll parameter before the azimuth rotation is applied.

The SetCharacterOrientation function should always be called to change the orientation of a character using the CharacterController class instead of setting the transform directly. When the orientation of a character is changed, the Shape subnode is transformed in the inverse manner so that it always maintains a fixed orientation in the world.
