Ped Rotation

[FlyingSpoon]

Hey I want to make the ped rotate, while choosing skins.

So for example I made a skin selector, but I want to rotate the ped 360, smoothly while the player browses through the skins, how would I do this?

function spawnMenu() 
setCameraMatrix ( 1950.25879, -1771.79895, 13.44688, 1700.25879, -1759.79895, 13.54688 ) 
spawnPed = createPed ( 29, 1947.74756, -1771.68896, 13.54688, 265 ) 
setElementFrozen ( spawnPed, true ) 
leftBtn = guiCreateButton(0.04, 0.44, 0.03, 0.04, "<", true) 
rightBtn = guiCreateButton(0.28, 0.44, 0.03, 0.04, ">", true)    
spawnBtn = guiCreateButton(0.075, 0.44, 0.20, 0.04, "Spawn", true)    
addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), textRect) 
showCursor ( true ) 
end 
addEvent("spawnMenu:chooseCharacter", true) 
addEventHandler("spawnMenu:chooseCharacter", root, spawnMenu)

You can see how I did it here: https://github.com/braydondavis/Nerd-Ga ... hicles.lua

Use onClientPreRender instead, it will make it smoother.

where the argument rotation?

tempPed = createPed ( getElementModel ( localPlayer ), 0, 0, 0 );

setElementFrozen ( spawnPed, true ) 
leftBtn = guiCreateButton(0.04, 0.44, 0.03, 0.04, "<", true) 
rightBtn = guiCreateButton(0.28, 0.44, 0.03, 0.04, ">", true)    
spawnBtn = guiCreateButton(0.075, 0.44, 0.20, 0.04, "Spawn", true)    
addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), textRect) 
showCursor ( true ) 
  
    addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, onRender ); 
  
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", root, spawnMenu) 
  
function onRender ( ) 
    if ( isElement( spawnPed ) ) then 
        local _, _, rz = getElementRotation ( spawnPed ); 
        local rz = rz - 1; 
        if ( rz <= 1 ) then  
            rz = 359; 
        end  
         
        setElementRotation ( spawnPed, 0, 0, rz ); 
    end 
end 

I want it to go smooth and slow, but it's just going really fast and looks like it's glitching.

rotate the camera around the ped i think it's much better try it:

local facing = 0 
  
function rotateCameraAroundPed( ) 
    if spawnPed and isElement(spawnPed) then  
        local x, y, z = getElementPosition(spawnPed) 
        local camX = x + math.cos( facing / math.pi * 180 ) * 5 
        local camY = y + math.sin( facing / math.pi * 180 ) * 5 
        setCameraMatrix( camX, camY, z+1, x, y, z ) 
        facing = facing + 0.00009 
    end  
end 
  
-- start rotateCameraAroundPed() function 
addEventHandler( "onClientRender", getResourceRootElement( ), rotateCameraAroundPed ) 
  
-- stop rotateCameraAroundPed() function 
removeEventHandler( "onClientRender", getResourceRootElement( ), rotateCameraAroundPed )

Fixed thanks

Works like charm.

But I was really looking for the other type of function, this will do for the time being, thanks Walid

You are welcome.
