java - libGDX - how to use 3D object indicating direction in 3D space? -


i use libgdx 3d game. in game 3d arrow should indicate direction in 3d space. player moving, direction of 3d arrow updated every frame.

i want place arrow in direction, camera looking 3 units before camera, arrow visible. therefore added camera direction current camera position , used translation part arrow. direction calculated substracting arrow position target.

all works fine, arrow displayed @ right position , moves. problem is, sometimes points target, , not.

here code:

vector3 targetposition = new vector3(1, 1, 10); vector3 cameraposition = gamecontroller.getcamera().position.cpy(); vector3 cameradirection = gamecontroller.getcamera().direction.cpy(); vector3 = gamecontroller.getcamera().up.cpy();  vector3 arrowposition = cameradirection.scl(3).add(cameraposition); vector3 arrowdirection = targetposition.cpy(); arrowdirection = arrowdirection.sub(arrowposition).nor();  matrix4 transformationmatrix = new matrix4();  // calculate orthogonal vector up.crs(arrowdirection).crs(arrowdirection);  arrowmodel.transform = transformationmatrix.settolookat(arrowdirection,     up).trn(arrowposition);

to avoid vectors calculated wrong, debug lines added:

modelbuilder.begin(); meshpartbuilder partbuilder = modelbuilder.part("lines", gl20.gl_lines,     usage.position,     new material(colorattribute.creatediffuse(color.green))); vector3 linepos = arrowposition.cpy(); partbuilder.line(linepos.cpy().add(arrowdirection), linepos); partbuilder.line(linepos.cpy().add(up), linepos); debugmodel = new modelinstance(modelbuilder.end());

as result, see correct green line vector (current vector of camera), , green line pointing correctly target, green cube. arrow other:

in picture arrow quite near right direction (green line), there other situations, points in wrong direction.

i used quite lot combinations of .translate, .trn, .settolookat, , .rotate of them showed similar, wrong results.

do have idea went wrong here?

commonjs - How to write a typescript definition file for a node module that exports a function? -

consider, toml node module can use: // toml.d.ts declare module toml { export function parse(value:string):any; } declare module "toml" { export = toml; } then: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/toml/toml.d.ts"/> import toml = require('toml'); toml.parse(...); however, node module export single function, such 'glob' ( https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob ). the node usage of module be: var glob = require("glob") glob("*.js", {}, callback(err, files) { ... }); you'd naively expect this: // glob.d.ts declare function globs(paths:string, options:any, callback:{(err:any, files:string[]):void; ...but because typescripts 'import' semantics bit strange, seems can use 'import .. = require()' statement alias modules . trying call: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/glob/glob.d.ts"/> import blog = require('glob'); results in: error ts2072: mod...

ios - Change Storyboard View using Seague -

i have following code checks connection server, , depending on want change views if no connection found. nsstring *connect = [nsstring stringwithcontentsofurl:[nsurl urlwithstring:@"http://myserver.com"] encoding:nsutf8stringencoding error:nil]; if (connect == null) { [self performseguewithidentifier:@"network_failure" sender:self]; } else { // other code here } my problem not change views. have added storyboard segue between 2 views identifier of network_failure . not have navigation controller or that, problem? thanks help! no not problem. first of all, in objectivec exists nil object oriented null . must use that. so: if(connect == nil) or better: if(!connect) so due fact nil not same of null , probably code does't enter in if scope . you have been able discover breakpoint. anyway: be sure set trigger segue (line) 2 view controller , , name network_failure (that not best name. should instead view1toview2 ) as, m...
