Rotate camera around axis

Hello again:

I've been trying to rotate a STATIC type camera along the y-axis, the front axis, with the new way to call it. (up-down, x-axis, left-right, z-axis). Well, I wanted to rotate around and I have found is imposible, at least to me.
I have tried via a quaternion and the transform api:

If I use the other axis it works ok, but with the y axis doesn't work. Is this a limitation of the camera or I am doing something wrong?

var _cam_quat = m_trans.get_rotation(_cam, _vec4_tmp2);
m_quat.rotateY(_cam_quat, _my_rot_y, _cam_quat);
m_trans.set_rotation_v(_cam, _cam_quat);

Hello!

Your code snippet looks correct. But if I understand you right, you want roll rotation (wiki), which is rotation around z axis in camera's local coordinate space.

Also make sure that the camera is really STATIC, roll rotation isn't supported for all camera types. Do you change camera type dynamically?

You as well may rotate camera with m_transform.rotate_z_local method, which performs almost the same routine.

Hi:

Yes, it is roll rotation. Along the local z axis of the camera. What I've found is that when I use the y parent rotation and add it to the quaternion via rotateAxis if I use any of the other axis works and the camera rotate but in the wrong direction.

I keep trying…

What is your b4w engine version?

It is 16.09.2. I've been trying a little more and it is strange, if I apply the rotation to the other axis it works ok and as I roll the ship the camera rotates up and down or left and right depending on the axis I apply the rotation to but not to the Z axis…

If you press 9 or H you get the keys assignment.
Hope it works…
