| Summary | 0006407: Unexpected object rotation in direction pitch for gamepad |
|---|
| Description | When rotating an object in direction pitch (like nodding a head) it moves in the opposite direction from what is expected.
The comment 0001453:0002190 describes the current function (at least in 2008) as being analogous to the object being inside a trackball, and that seems like an intuitive solution. Direction yaw follows that analogy. Issue 0001453 was closed with no change, and from that it would seem that the trackball analogy is still valid. Rotation using z+mouse works as expected in all directions, and as described in 0001453.
If this defect is unique to control via gamepad, then perhaps the root cause is that direction up/down for rotation have been switched for gampad control?
Updating Darkmod.cfg variable "padInverseRY" to "1" makes rotation of object in pitch direction look right, but then regular movements of the player's head are reversed.
Reproduced on TDM 2.12/64 #10584 (beta212-01).
Proposal:
* Change so that pitch rotation also works as the trackball-analogy. Hopefully it is something as simple as reversing one or two +/- signs to resolve this. |
|---|
| Steps To Reproduce | * Use a gamepad and rotate object using manipulate+right_stick.
* right_stick_up and right_stick_down to rotate in direction pitch will not follow trackball analogy (unexpected)
* right_stick_left and right_stick_right to rotate in direction yaw will follow trackball analogy (expected) |
