Directions detect?

[clown611]

Hi again. Im making a game with a spaceship that moves around in space. I controll my spaceship with translate, but when I rotate my ship towards another direction ofc the translate movement doesnt apply on my spaceship. How do you handle this? Is there a way to detect directions or should I make my own method depending on how much I have rotated?

ok I kinda solved it using ship.translate(camera.getdirection().x,camera.getdirection.y,0.04f). no idea if that is a good solution

It depends. It should be fine as long as the camera and the ship are in sync. If not, it might be better to simply use getZAxis() on the ship for the translation.

Ye it worked fine but i will try the getzaxis. Thanks
